The Strofix weld-on end cap is an AISI 304 stainless-steel plate with a Ø12 mm hole that closes Ø42.4x2 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 Ø12 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 2 mm wall.
The Ø12 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 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.
