15x15mm Square Ribbed Tube Insert

These 15x15mm square ribbed tube inserts are designed to provide a clean, secure finish for square tube and box section. 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 or box section with a 15x15mm external 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 box section profile: Square
• External tube size: 15x15mm
• Tube wall thickness: 1-2mm
• Suggested internal fit: 11x11mm to 13x13mm approx. (different factors affect this, including coatings, weld lines and tolerance)
• Material: Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
• Fitting type: Push-fit ribbed insert

Suitable for:

• End Stops for Office and Workshop furniture
• Foot Bungs for Chairs and Tables
• Plastic Stoppers for square hollow tubes and box section
• Feet for Display Systems
• Post Caps for Gates and Railings
• Tube End Caps for Light Fabrication projects
• Protective Tube Ends for Finishing
• Ribbed Knock In Inserts for 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, 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 pyramid head inserts.  We've also got All-Metal Inserts and Square Threaded Inserts for Feet & Castors 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.

I am very happy with your service, but the reason for only three stars for value for money, is that I needed 16 pieces but have to buy 100, although you had the inserts already in stock. Therefore you didn't need to send special order to factory.

Response from BPF Websales
Thankyou for your comments but provided it's a stock item you're ordering then we allow customers to order just the amount of parts they need. It's true that on our product pages, we do have a price matrix table with suggested pack option but these are just pre-packed options we already have on the shelf and are discounted for customers who take these because it obviously speeds up the whole process for everyone and improves our efficiency.

However, if it was a stock item then you could have ignored these pre-packed options and just simply typed however many you needed into the 'Add to Cart' box and it should have allowed you to place your order.

I will highlight your comments to our web designers though, because we want to make sure that a customer can order however many parts they need, from the outset - and more importantly, make sure this is clearly evident and not confusing.
