40x25mm Rectangular Ribbed Tube Insert, 1-2mm

These 40x25mm rectangular ribbed tube inserts are designed to provide a clean, secure finish for rectangular or oblong tube sections. 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 box section, sitting flush with the outside edges of the tube, providing a neat finished appearance.

Key Features:

• Fits hollow tube profiles with a 40x25mm external dimension
• Manufactured from resilient LDPE

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, if for instance you want inserts or feet for an angled chair leg or just simply prefer something with a more enhanced cosmetic head than a bog standard flat insert, then take a look at our range of domed, angled or chamfered head inserts.  We've also got Threaded Inserts, External Fitting Caps and Stand off Feet but if you're not finding what you're needing then just give us a call, drop us an email or use the livechat facility.
