Description
6061-T6 Aluminum rail caps are extruded for seamless precision sizing throughout the full lengthof the material. The 3/4" x 3/4" square concaved base allows the round rail caps to be installed on square tubing or bar stock providing a sturdy support. Made from a lightweight material with a smooth surface, it is heat treatable, non-magnetic, and resistant to stress cracking. These aluminum rail caps are an excellent candiate for both interrior and exterrior stair and safety railling applications.
