What is an end cap & what is it used for?

End caps, also known as tube end caps are used to seal or close a pipe end, tube, or similar cylindrical object. They are fittings, designed to provide a secure and protective barrier to the open end, preventing the escape of fluids, contaminants, or other materials, and often enhancing the overall appearance of the object.

Choosing which end cap you need really depends on your application requirement. We stock ends caps for easy installation and removal, hydraulic caps, thread protection caps, caps for tube ends and many more styles and types.
