If you’ve ever bought caps for table or chair legs in Pakistan, you already know the problem:
✔ Sizes are never consistent
✔ Imported furniture uses millimeters
✔ Local pipes can be slightly bigger or smaller
✔ Wrong sizes either fall off or crack quickly
And when these caps fail, it leads to scratched floors, rusted pipes, and dangerous sharp edges — especially around children.
MetalX vinyl / rubber caps are manufactured for exact fit, not stretching or improvising. That’s why accurate measurement is the difference between frustration and a perfect long-term solution.
This guide explains how to measure correctly at home and in industrial settings so you always choose the right size.

Why Accurate Sizing Matters in Pakistan
Furniture brands in Pakistan use different pipe standards:
✔ Local chairs may use 0.75" or 19mm
✔ Premium imported tables may use 25mm or 28mm
✔ Tender-based furniture varies with supplier
✔ Steel pipes have manufacturing tolerances
Example: A “1 inch” pipe can measure 24.5mm to 26.5mm externally.
That’s why guessing leads to loose caps.
Always measure — never assume.

Section 1 — Home Users: The Simple Measuring Method
You only need one tool:
✔ A measuring tape
Steps:
1️⃣ Place the tape across the outer edge of the pipe
2️⃣ Read the diameter in millimeters or inches
3️⃣ Match your measurement with the sizing charts below
Tip: If your size falls between two options, choose the slightly smaller one for a tight grip.
If you’re not sure, just send us a photo with the measurement. We help customers choose daily.

FAQs (Accurate, Practical, Detailed)
✔ Are these caps stretchable?
They grip, but they are not soft stretchable plastic. Exact sizing is needed. This ensures they do not loosen over time.
✔ How tight should the cap be?
It should require a firm push — not hammering. Too loose = falls off. Too tight = risk of tearing during installation.
✔ Can I use soap or oil for installation?
A drop of water works best. Oil reduces long-term grip.
✔ Do you make custom sizes?
Yes — bulk orders only. Factories and workshops can contact us.
✔ What if my pipe is slightly oval?
We may recommend the size below and a quick heat-fit test.
✔ Will these caps protect from rust?
Yes. They fully seal the pipe end from moisture and dust.
✔ Can these be used outdoors?
Yes — they are tested for rain, sunlight, and heat exposure.
✔ Do you ship to all cities in Pakistan?
Yes — Karachi to Gilgit. Delivery is always free.
✔ What if the size doesn’t fit?
We accept exchanges within 7 days as per our refund policy.
✔ Do they reduce noise?
Yes — especially helpful on tiled floors or marble.
✔ Are discounts available on bulk?
Yes — contact us for factory or tender pricing.
