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.

Threads & Industry Standards

Explore a range of threads including BSP, metric, threaded, non-threaded, NPT and UNF threads in various industry standards such as RoHS, ANSI, REACH, ISO and more.

Materials

Our end caps are manufactured from high performance materials such as plastic, PE, LDPE, EPDM, PVC, TPE and more.
