Material advantage of stainless steel AISI 316 (A4)

AISI 316 stainless steel (also known as A4 or V4A) contains molybdenum and therefore offers significantly higher corrosion resistance than standard stainless steel. This makes the reinforced pipe end cap particularly suitable for:

• Continuous saltwater contact
• Aggressive marine environments
• Long-term outdoor applications without maintenance
• Professional boat and yacht equipment
• Areas with the highest mechanical stress

Reinforced design - 2 grub screws for maximum safety

Double fastening: Unlike standard end caps with only one setscrew, this reinforced version features two setscrews. This ensures maximum security and prevents the end cap from twisting or loosening.

Maximum load capacity: The double fastening makes this end cap ideal for applications with the highest loads from wind, sea conditions or mechanical stress.

Professional quality: Ideal for large convertible tops, heavy constructions or applications with the highest safety requirements.

With eye - Versatile mounting option

Integrated eye: The pipe end cap features an integrated eye, offering versatile mounting options. Ideal for connecting to other fittings or fixing points.

Eye diameter: 6.4 mm for 22 mm and 25 mm tubes, 8.6 mm for 30 mm tubes.

2 grub screws: The end cap is fixed to the pipe with two grub screws, ensuring an extra secure and permanent connection.

Technical details

Thread: Metric - For all versions.

Eye width: 7 mm - For reliable recording.

Eye Ø (eye diameter): 6.4 mm or 8.6 mm - Depending on the pipe diameter.

2 grub screws: Double fixing to the pipe for maximum safety.

Assembly and use

The reinforced pipe end cap is slid onto the pipe end and securely fastened with the two set screws. The double fastening prevents the end cap from twisting or loosening. The eyelet allows connection to other fittings or fixing points via a bolt or screw.

• Slide on the end cap - Slide it onto the end of the pipe.
• Align - Place in the desired position
• Secure - Tighten securely using both grub screws.
• Connect - guide bolt through eye
