Oval Tube Inserts
Oval Tube Inserts are designed to provide a secure and professional finish to oval-shaped tubes, posts, and pipes. Manufactured from durable LDPE plastic (Low-Density Polyethylene) or chromed ABS, these inserts offer both protection and an aesthetically pleasing solution for capping the ends of tubular structures.
Used across a wide range of industries, Oval Tube Inserts are commonly applied in furniture manufacturing, retail displays, gym equipment, and construction frameworks. Their ribbed shank ensures a tight push-fit installation, preventing movement and keeping the insert securely in place without the need for adhesives or fixings. These inserts not only enhance the visual appeal of tube ends but also help protect against dirt, moisture, and internal corrosion, increasing the longevity of the structure.
How to Choose the Correct Size
Selecting the correct size of Oval Tube Inserts is essential for achieving a secure fit. Follow these steps:
- Measure the outside dimensions (width and height) of your oval tube.
- Determine the wall thickness of the tube.
- Subtract the wall thickness from the outside dimensions to find the correct ‘To Fit Tube' size.
We stock Oval Tube Inserts in sizes ranging from 10mm to 60mm to accommodate a variety of applications. If you need assistance, our team is available to help. Business customers can also request a free sample to test the fit before purchasing in bulk.
