The Strofix ellipsoid end cap is an AISI 304 stainless-steel dome that closes the open end of Ø42.4x2 mm railing tube. Supplied with a polished finish.
The rounded ellipsoid profile stands slightly proud of the tube and softens the termination, which suits post tops and handrail ends that people pass close to. It is press-fitted into the tube – no welding or adhesive is needed.
Closing the tube keeps rain and debris out of the hollow section. AISI 304 stainless steel is suitable for standard interior and exterior installations.
It fits Ø42.4x2 mm railing tube.
It is press-fitted into the tube end. No welding, screws or adhesive are required.
The ellipsoid cap has the most pronounced dome of the three. The flat cap sits almost level with the tube, the convex cap has a shallow curve, and the ellipsoid stands proud with a rounded profile.
AISI 304 stainless steel with a polished finish.
Yes. The press fit holds it in the tube. For exposed locations where the cap could be knocked, a welded cap is the more secure option.
An end cap closes the open end of a railing tube, post or crossbar rod, keeping water and dirt out and giving the end a clean, finished look.
Strofix supplies 31 end caps in three families: for Ø42.4 mm tube (flat, convex, ellipsoid, 90° elbow and weld-in caps), for 40 × 40 mm profile (flat and weld-in caps) and for Ø10 and Ø12 mm crossbar rods (15–30 mm high, in flat, ball and droplet shapes).
Most are AISI 304 satin; polished versions, raw weld-in caps and AISI 316 on selected caps complete the range. The correct end cap depends on the profile it closes, the shape and whether it is fitted or welded.
