PVC Caps

PVC caps are designed to cover and protect the ends of tubes, pipes, fittings, and other components. Our PVC caps are commonly used to:

• Shield edges and threads from dust, moisture, and impact during storage or transit

• Provide a neat finish to exposed ends on furniture, machinery, and frameworks

• Prevent injuries from sharp or unfinished tube ends

• Act as temporary covers for masking or packaging applications

We stock a comprehensive range of PVC caps to suit various requirements, including:

• Round PVC caps for standard tube and pipe ends

• Square PVC caps for box section and square tubing

• Rectangular PVC caps for flat or elongated profiles

• Pull tab PVC caps for applications requiring quick removal

• PVC stud caps for covering exposed studs, bolts, and threaded rods

Each style is available in multiple sizes and colours to suit a wide range of applications.

• Material: PVC caps are made from flexible, durable polyvinyl chloride, while silicone caps are made from heat-resistant silicone rubber.

• Temperature Resistance: PVC caps are ideal for general protection and finishing but are not suitable for high-temperature masking. Silicone caps are preferred for use in powder coating and other heat-intensive processes.

• Applications: Choose PVC caps for furniture, storage, and transport, and silicone caps for masking and finishing applications involving extreme temperatures.

PVC caps are versatile products used across a wide range of sectors, including:

• Furniture manufacturing and assembly

• Metal fabrication and engineering

• Automotive and transportation

• Construction and scaffolding

• Retail display and shelving

They are chosen wherever a protective or decorative cover is required for tubing, fittings, or threads.

• Pull tab PVC caps: Allow for easy and rapid removal, ideal for temporary masking or when frequent access is required.

• PVC stud caps: Specifically designed to protect exposed threaded studs, bolts, and rods from damage or contamination.

• Rectangular and square PVC caps: Offer secure fits for non-circular profiles, providing both protection and a clean finish.

• All styles offer a flexible push-fit design for simple installation and removal.

Yes, our PVC caps are designed for repeated use. Their flexible construction ensures:

• Easy push-fit installation by hand

• Simple removal without tools, especially with pull tab designs

• Reusable across multiple projects or cycles, making them cost-effective for both industrial and DIY applications

Square cap installation is typically straightforward, requiring no special tools or fixings:

Standard Push-Fit Installation:

Clean the Surface: Ensure the square tube or post end is clean and free from debris, rust, or sharp edges

Check Alignment: Orient the square cap to match the tube profile precisely

Apply Even Pressure: Push the cap straight down onto the tube end, applying even pressure across all sides

Verify Seating: Ensure the cap is fully seated and flush against the tube end

Check Security: Gently attempt to remove the cap to verify it's properly secured
