18mm Ø 12-18° Angled Tube Insert for Stacking, 1.5-2mm

These 18mm round ribbed tube inserts are designed to push into hollow round tube and have an integral spacer feature, which is designed to keep painted chair legs apart and reduces noise when stacking chairs and furniture.  This particular insert has an angle range of 12-18 degrees and although our tube inserts come with a a choice of angles, it's also worth considering our 'Full Dome' inserts, as the pronounced dome on these, is designed to work with any angle.

If it's more of an angled foot you're after, then we have full domed and angled options or we also have a range of Tiltserts which may work better for you.

The head diameter is designed to sit flush with the outside of the tube whilst the shank has flexible horizontal ribs to suit a multitude of tube walls, in a range of both metric and imperial sizes.  Thanks to the flexible lateral ribs running around the shank of the insert, they're generally suitable for tube wall thickness of between 1.5 to 2mm metric (14-16 gauge imperial), unless otherwise indicated. 

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.

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 other inserts for round tube here 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.
