Rectangular Tube Inserts
Rectangular Tube Inserts are specially designed components used to seal and protect the open ends of rectangular metal tubing and box sections. Made from high-quality LDPE plastic these inserts provide a durable and cost-effective solution for covering exposed tube ends preventing damage and reducing the risk of moisture ingress.
These inserts feature a ribbed design that ensures a tight and secure fit even across varying wall thicknesses. Whether used for finishing furniture protecting structures or enhancing the appearance of metal frameworks our Rectangular Tube Inserts offer a reliable solution that is easy to install and long-lasting.
Selecting the Right Rectangular Tube Insert
To ensure the correct fit simply measure the Outside Dimensions and the Wall Thickness of your rectangular tubing accurately. Subtract the Wall Thickness value from the Outside Dimensions. This will give you the "To Fit Tube" size needed. Our inserts are designed to provide some leeway with sizing thanks to their flexible ribbed structure.
If you need help selecting the right size our expert team is available to assist you and business customers can request a free sample to test the fit before placing a bulk order.
