14mm Round Ribbed Tube Insert

These 14mm round ribbed tube inserts are designed to provide a clean, secure finish for hollow round tubes and pipes. Thanks to the flexible lateral ribs running around the shank of the insert, they should be suitable for tube wall thickness of between 1 to 2mm metric (14-20 gauge imperial), unless otherwise stated. 

Manufactured from durable LDPE plastic, they are commonly used as protective end caps, tube feet, and finishing plugs across furniture, fabrication, and light industrial applications. They're designed to retain themselves inside tube, with the head sitting over the outer ends of the tube or pipe, sitting flush with the outside circumference of the tube and providing a neat finished appearance.

Key Features:

• Fits hollow tube or pipe with a 14mm outer dimension
• Manufactured from resilient LDPE
• Ribbed design for secure fitting
• Helps protect floors from exposed tube ends, reducing noise and marking
• Available in multiple colours
• Designed primarily for indoor use but can be used outside but not UV stabilised as standard

Technical Information:

• Tube or pipe shape: Round
• External tube size: Ø14mm
• Tube wall thickness: 1–2mm
• Suggested internal fit: 10-12mm approx. (different factors affect this, including coatings, weld lines and tolerance)
• Material: Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
• Fitting type: Push-fit ribbed insert

Suitable for:

• Office and workshop furniture
• Chairs and tables
• Round hollow tubes and pipes
• Display systems
• Gates and railings
• Light fabrication projects
• Protective tube end finishing
• POS and Shopfitting

Tube inserts are always listed the same way that tube is listed because the head of the insert needs to marry up with the outside edges of the tube.  They often come in a variety of wall thicknesses and gauge sizes but if you're unsure on fit, you can click the 'Request Sample' button, or for help measuring your tube, try out this useful sizing pdf.

If this isn't quite right for your application, check out our domed, angled, chrome and metal inserts and if you're not looking to plug the end of a piece of hollow tube and instead after a generic hole plug, then maybe one of our covers caps or panel plugs will work better for you.

the measurement area needs to be assisted with a diagram. or carefully explained. i measured the wrong part and the item was far too small so useless although i am sure the quality is good. its just a hassel to try and get the right size again

Response from BPF Websales
Thanks for your valuable comments and we do acknowledge that unless you're in the business of buying tube, that not everybody knows that tube fittings are listed in exactly the same way as tube is listed/sold.

But conscious of this, we try and help customers by putting 3 prominent buttons on every product page, including the one for this part :

1 which gives you a link to a drawing, 1 which takes you to a tube & wire fittings buying guide
and 1 to request a free of charge sample so you can try before you buy.

I'm not sure if any of these options were used in the case of this order, but just wanted to highlight the fact they are there, in case you needed any other parts in the future.

We also offer to credit customers back the full value of any goods ordered, if you wanted to return the incorrectly ordered parts - so we like to think we make every effort to help customers through the ordering process.
