What are End Caps?

End caps also known as tube end caps, are used as protective covers at the end of an object to provide protection against damage or dirt accumulation on pipes, furniture, and other applications.

They are used in many different industries and applications, including automotive, manufacturing, and construction. End caps are made from varied materials and come in many sizes to meet your unique needs and requirements.

Applications of End Caps

These versatile components are used across various industries to provide protection, safety, and aesthetic appeal in applications such as:

Gas Threads Cylinder and Valves: Prevents contamination and damage to threads and ensures secure, leak-free connections.

Hydraulics & Fluid Protection: Seals open ports and connectors, maintains system integrity and prevents fluid leakage.

Paint Works & Surface Treatment: Shields areas from overspray and debris to ensure a clean and precise finish.

Storage & Transit Protection: Safeguards ends of pipes, tubes, and rods and prevents damage during transportation.

Furniture & Metal Fabrication: Covers sharp edges for safety, enhances appearance of metal structures and protects surfaces from damage.

Round Vinyl End Caps

Vinyl End Caps, commonly known as Flexicaps or PVC End Caps. A round cap that protects the outside diameter of threaded or non-threaded tubes, rods, pipes or paper tubes. The vinyl material can stretch on to larger dimensions for a tight fit without tearing, splitting or shredding.

These round vinyl end caps include a red flexible Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) 60 Shore version, which is made from softer and more flexible material that allows for easy fitting. The bright red colour offers high visibility, thus reducing health and safety risks. Also included is a black PVC 80 Shore version that is more rigid than the red option. Also available is a glossy, dip-moulded round end tip that has a smooth finish. Durable round plastic end caps for round tubing are ideal product presentation and protection.

These vinyl caps provide a high-gloss, attractive finish making them ideal for use as decorative end caps. The flexibility and durability allows suitable fit for multiple applications. They can be used as a mask for coating, plating and paint applications, where the maximum temperature is not higher than 350F.
