Product Information
Full details
The Edstone Handrail End Caps in White are designed for homeowners and contractors looking to achieve a professional, finished aesthetic for 40mm metal handrail systems. These end caps provide a secure, clean seal for exposed tube ends, ensuring a consistent look across your installation. While they are highly effective for finishing exposed ends, it is important to note that these caps are decorative and functional seals only; they cannot be used to mount or support the handrail structure to a wall.

FAQs
Can I use these caps on 50mm handrails?
No, these end caps are specifically engineered for a 40mm diameter metal handrail and will not fit other sizes.
Do these caps act as wall mounts?
No, these are strictly for covering exposed ends and provide no structural support for the handrail.
Do I need glue or screws to attach them?
No, they are designed as a simple push-fit component.
What tools are recommended for installation?
Usually, your hands are sufficient. A rubber mallet is recommended if the fit is particularly snug.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, they are intended for the Edstone indoor modular handrail range; check your local climate conditions regarding moisture exposure.
How many caps come in the package?
Each set contains two end caps, enough to finish one standard handrail.
Troubleshooting
The end cap feels loose and won't stay in place.
Ensure there are no burrs or metal shards inside the pipe opening from when it was cut. If clear, a light tap with a rubber mallet is usually sufficient to seat the cap securely.
Cap will not push into the tube opening.
Check that the handrail is exactly 40mm in diameter and that the tube end is not deformed or oval-shaped from the cutting process.
Pros and Cons

- Consistent design matching the Edstone handrail range
Cons
- Not intended for structural mounting
- Requires a separate wall bracket system for wall attachment

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your handrail is properly anchored using the appropriate wall brackets. Simply align the end cap with the opening of the 40mm metal tube and press firmly until it sits flush. If resistance is met, use a rubber-headed mallet to carefully tap the cap until fully seated.
Compatibility: These caps are exclusive to the Edstone 40mm metal handrail system. They are not designed for timber rails or different diameter metal tubing.
Care: To maintain the finish, wipe the caps occasionally with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can scratch the white coating.
