End caps for 2" square tube

If you don't find them, I have to go to the local supplier within a few days. How many do you need? I can mail them to you.

McMaster p/n 9565K19 or 9565K8, both on page 3494.

These are common products for plastics manufacturers. There is a place in WA state that is a big supplier of these. Can't remember the name just now. Believe they are from Bainbridge Island.

Also, any of the places that supply parts for gym equipment carries these.

If I have time later, I will try to scare up a link or two.

has all kinds of palstic caps for structural type steel tube.

Thanks, Ned, I used 'tubing caps' for my search criteria, so thats probably why I didn't find them.

Kind regards.

Decorativeiron.com has an awesome inventory of items used in fabrication. If you ever get to Houston, it is a nice trip to just go to their store and wander around. You can get lots of ideas for free, and they always have some closeouts and blowouts daily.

Guys, save this one.....

I couldn't find the platic manufacturing place.

But this is the end caps page at one of the fitness repair places.

That fitness place has caps for 2" square tube, but irritatingly they don't say what wall thickness! Sheesh...

Just called Curtis Steel here locally, but they are closed. I will call tomorrow, and find out how much 2" caps are.

Ever see how much Home Depot gets for those three feet pieces of metal they sell? About as much as 20 feet from a supplier.

No Problem. McMaster's online search is pretty good, but sometimes being able to flip pages in the paper catalog is easier.

I issue commands when I'm on the Throne.. with women in the house it's usually something like "Bring me some damn wipe already!"

"loyalty" and "duty."

Just called Curtis Steel here locally. 2x2 caps are $ .30 each. Parcel post would be cheap, Priority Mail is $3.85 for less than a pound, and one should be able to get about 25 or more into a box for a pound.

That's why one needs a real paper catalog. Online catalogs suck. Well, they are OK for pricing once you find it in the 2 year old paper catalog.

Hi, Ned, thanks to your help in finding them, I ordered than from McMaster at 2PM on Wed.

They arrived at 11.30AM on Thurs.

A deal like that is hard to beat. :-)

Kind regards.
