The Strofix weld-on end cap is an AISI 304 stainless-steel plate with a Ø8 mm hole that closes Ø42.4x4 mm railing tube. Supplied with a raw (unfinished) surface.
The cap is welded to the tube end rather than pressed in, giving a permanent seal that cannot be knocked out or removed. TIG or MIG welding is required; the weld and surrounding surface are ground and finished on site after fitting. The Ø8 mm hole allows a cable, rod or drainage path to pass through the closed end.
The raw surface is standard for welded caps because the finish is applied after welding. AISI 304 stainless steel is suitable for standard interior and exterior installations.
It fits Ø42.4 mm railing tube with a 4 mm wall.
The Ø8 mm hole lets a cable, rod or drainage path pass through the closed tube end.
It is welded to the tube end. TIG or MIG welding is required – this is a professional step, usually carried out in a workshop.
The cap is ground and finished after welding, so it is supplied unfinished. A press-fit cap in satin or polished finish is available where welding is not wanted.
AISI 304 stainless steel.
An end cap is a stainless-steel closure piece that plugs into or fits over the open end of a railing tube, post or solid bar, sealing it against moisture ingress and giving the termination a clean, finished appearance. Without an end cap, the cut tube end is exposed – visually unfinished and prone to collecting water and debris inside the hollow section.
Strofix supplies 13 end cap products in three profile families: caps for Ø42.4 mm round pipe (available in flat, convex and ellipsoid shapes), caps for 40×40 mm flat square tube (flat profile), and caps for Ø10 and Ø12 mm solid crossbar rods.
All are in AISI 304 stainless steel with a satin finish, with AISI 316 and polished options available on selected variants. The correct end cap depends on the tube or rod profile it will close, and the desired cap shape.
