You have metal chair legs that scratch your floor, exposed screw threads that snag on clothes, or open tube ends that collect dust. Instead of tape or makeshift solutions, slide on these silicone rubber end caps. They fit diameters from as small as 3mm up to 80mm – so they work for tiny electronics feet, furniture legs, and industrial pipes. Made from flexible, heat‑resistant silicone, they grip firmly without slipping. Choose black or white. Whether you're protecting a delicate instrument, capping a bolt, or adding non‑slip feet to a walking aid, these caps handle the job. They resist wear, aging, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to 250°C). Just measure your object’s outer diameter, pick the closest cap size, and push it on.

1. How do I choose the right cap size for my chair leg or screw?
Measure the outer diameter of the object you want to cover. For round legs or tubes, use a caliper or ruler. Choose a cap with an inner diameter that is slightly smaller (0.5–1mm) than your measurement – silicone stretches for a snug fit. For example, a 19mm leg works well with an 18mm or 19mm cap. If you’re between sizes, size down for a tighter grip.
2. Will these caps stay on chair legs when moving furniture across the floor?
Yes – the silicone rubber has a high friction coefficient. Once pushed on, they won’t slide off during normal use. For heavy use (e.g., office chairs with rolling casters), we recommend checking occasionally, but most customers find they stay put for years. You can also add a drop of adhesive for permanent installation.
3. Can I use these caps on hot surfaces, like a BBQ grill leg?
Absolutely – silicone rubber is rated up to 250°C (482°F). That’s safe for barbecue legs, wood stove feet, or engine bay components. Just avoid direct contact with open flames. They also handle freezing temperatures down to -40°C, so outdoor furniture in winter is fine.
4. Are these caps food‑grade or safe for kitchen use?
These are industrial‑grade silicone rubber, not certified food‑grade. For kitchen use on furniture (e.g., table legs), they are fine – they won’t leach chemicals at room temperature. But we do not recommend using them as bottle stoppers or in direct contact with food. For food applications, look for FDA‑rated silicone products.
5. Do these caps provide electrical insulation?
Silicone rubber is an electrical insulator. These caps can safely cover low‑voltage wire ends or terminal screws (e.g., on speakers, automotive electronics). For high voltage (mains 110V+), we recommend certified insulating caps. For general DIY low‑voltage projects, they work well.
6. What’s the difference between black and white silicone? Is one stronger?
No difference in physical properties – both have the same temperature range, elasticity, and durability. Black may be slightly more UV‑resistant for outdoor use; white shows dirt less on light‑colored furniture. Choose based on aesthetic preference.
