End Cap: Metal


By teresa difeo at 2012-10-22 01:35:39
End caps are used to cover exposed tube or pipe ends or to provide a good, aesthetic finish to them and prevent injury. Pipe ends which have threads are especially vulnerable to damage during shipping, handling and storage. The threads can be damaged, pipe ends may crack or split or they may also get scratched. Fitting on an end cap ensures that the pipes remain in pristine condition till they are used. Some kinds of pipes and tubes are used to make display racks and shelves in retail stores, supermarkets, garden nurseries, book-stores etc and fitting on a decorative end cap can provide both safety and a pleasant finish.

Metal end caps are used to finish or close off galvanized iron or steel pipes, posts, fencing posts, bollards or short posts etc. usually in outdoor locations, in heavy duty applications. Since they are exposed to weathering and different temperature ranges, moisture, dust and dirt, they are usually coated or plated by electro-magnetic process with other metals like chrome or alloys. When used for outdoor applications, the design of the cap is domed so that water or moisture can flow off easily down the surface of the cap and thus avoid corrosion or rust. The shape of the end caps depends on the shape of the fence-post, pipe or column. Round, square, rectangular or hexagonal shapes may be chosen to correspond with the pipe or tube that they're suppose to fit on to.

Railing ends can be covered with a flush end cap that fits snugly round the pipe or can be inserted into its diameter. In more decorative applications, metal end caps are used to shut off the ends of tubes that house documents or papers which are scrolled into them. Transparent tubes may also be used to display items like high-quality pens in stationery shops and decorative end caps provide them with a classy and pleasing look. Scrolled or knurled metal end caps can be used to finish sharp ends of hand-rails or stairway banisters. In this regard, items like brass finials can also be included as they are useful in protecting people from getting injured by exposed sharp edges in furniture. Finials provide an antique finish. Exercise machines are also fitted with end caps to prevent abrasion and injury. These caps may either be push-fit, snap on or threaded types. Most of them can be fitted manually with normal hand-tools, others need special pliers or tools to fit them.

Based on your special needs and requirements, you can pick the correct type of metal end caps from your local hardware store, or order them directly from the manufacturer from their on-line catalogs.
