Cover plugs TP60 black

Cover Plugs TP60 in the black version are an external end cap for square tube, made in polyethylene (PE) with a matte surface. The plug closes open tube ends in frames, machine stands, railings and furniture tube; a small component that lifts the overall impression and solves several practical problems into the bargain.

The series covers 10 sizes for square tube, from 15x15 mm up to 60x60 mm. Since the cap sits on the outside of the tube it is the outer dimension that governs the fit, not the wall thickness; that makes the choice simpler but puts the same demand on a correctly measured tube. Check the actual dimensions of the tube against the table in the manufacturer's data sheet before you order; nominal tube dimensions can differ a little between tube manufacturers, and it is the actual dimension that decides how well the plug sits.

TP60 is the external counterpart to the internal square plugs; choose it when the inside of the tube is taken or when the edge needs protection from the outside. Delivery is in packs of 250 to 750 pieces depending on size. A rubber mallet helps when fitting the larger sizes. Do not strike the plug directly with a steel hammer; the head then risks being deformed and the seal gets worse. Plugs that have sat out in sun and weather for several years can become more brittle, so replace them along with other maintenance if they start to look tired.
