FAQs
Are these caps compatible with wooden handrails?
No, these are specifically designed for 40mm metal tubing within the Handrails Direct range.
Do I need a power drill to install these?
While a manual screwdriver is usually sufficient, a light-duty power drill on a low torque setting can speed up the process.
Can I use these outdoors?
These are primarily intended for internal use; check your specific Handrails Direct system documentation if planning outdoor installation.
How many caps are in a pack?
Each pack contains two end caps and the corresponding fixing screws.
Will these fit a 42mm pipe?
No, these are strictly engineered for 40mm diameter pipes and will not fit larger sizes.
Troubleshooting
End cap feels loose after insertion
Ensure the handrail tubing has not been deformed during the cutting process and verify the diameter is exactly 40mm.
Screw will not sit flush
Check that the screw is perfectly aligned with the pre-drilled pilot hole and is not cross-threading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the 40mm rail is cut cleanly and free of burrs or metal filings. Insert the end cap firmly into the tube opening. Use the provided screws to fix the cap in place, ensuring the screw heads are flush with the surface for a smooth profile. Regarding compatibility, these are exclusively sized for 40mm Handrails Direct metal pipes. For maintenance, simply wipe the caps with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the matt black coating over time.
