Unistrut End Caps

Unistrut End Caps are a form of Channel End Cap, designed to protect the end of a Metal Channel. They are manufactured from a low density but high strength Plastic (LDPE). Commonly known as Unistrut Cap Ends, Channel Fittings, or Inserts, these products all have one main purpose.

These products are designed to blank off, finish, and protect a metal channel (often found installed on hardware such as air conditioning units, conveyor belts, or general machinery). Available to fit both square or rectangular channels, we keep a large stock of these items at all times, with black, grey, and white finishes to meet any specific installation requirements that you may have.

We are able to manufacture Unistrut End Caps with your logo or branding on where required for a project on a request basis. However, our standard selection covers all typical sizes including 41mm x 41mm and 41mm x 21mm. If you have any questions about branding or aren't sure which option to choose, feel free to get in touch with us via Telephone or using the Live Chat feature. You can also see our Contact Us page.

Please note that we are able to add your logo or branding onto each fitting where required.
