Colour	Black

The REC 16 black end caps from Ses-Sterling are specifically designed for use in electrical and IT installations. They serve as end sealing components for protective conduits and cable glands, sealing the ends of the conduits and protecting them against contamination, moisture, or mechanical stress. The caps are black, matching visually with many standard installation components. The product designation REC 16 refers to the compatible conduit size, with the caps designed for conduits having an inner diameter of 16 mm. The packaging contains 10 pieces, sufficient for small to medium installation tasks.

End caps are an important component in cable protection system installations, as they maintain the integrity of the conduit connection. They prevent dust, moisture, or small particles from entering the conduit, which is particularly important in industrial or outdoor environments. The caps are simply inserted over the open end of the conduit, and their shape ensures a secure fit. The color black is standard for installations in technical facilities and buildings, as it blends well visually into the environment and also provides high visibility during maintenance work.

Functions and equipment in detail
The REC 16 end caps are made from a flexible, elastic material that can be easily slipped over the conduit end, ensuring a tight seal. The shape is cylindrical with a slightly conical transition to allow secure seating on the conduit. The caps are not intended for repeated use but are designed for single-use end sealing applications. The packaging unit contains 10 pieces, sufficient for most installation scenarios. The weight specification of 3.8 g per piece is technically relevant, as it affects handling and the overall weight of the packaging.

Technology explained simply
The caps utilize the elasticity of the material to adapt to the conduit end and ensure a tight seal. The material is designed to resist rapid wear and remain stable even with slight mechanical contact. The protective function lies in preventing ingress of foreign objects, moisture, or dust, thereby extending the service life of the conduit connection. The caps are not self-cutting or equipped with additional screwing elements; they are purely passive to install.

Compatibility and accessories
The REC 16 end caps are specifically designed for protective conduits with an inner diameter of 16 mm. They are compatible with the corresponding conduit systems in the Reinforced Conduits product group from Ses-Sterling. The caps are not suitable for other diameters or other manufacturers, as the fit is precisely tailored to 16 mm. There are no specific accessories that must be combined with the caps—they are intended as individual components for direct use.

Installation and mounting
Mounting is done by simply sliding the cap onto the open end of the conduit. No tools are required, as the elastic shape of the cap is sufficient to ensure a secure fit. The caps are suitable for use in indoor and outdoor environments, provided there are no extreme conditions such as high temperatures or aggressive chemicals. Installation is performed at the end of the conduit routing, after cables or wires have been placed inside the conduit.

Operational advantages
Using the REC 16 black end caps increases the reliability of cable protection systems by protecting the ends of conduits from contamination and moisture. This reduces the risk of short circuits or mechanical damage. The caps are easy to handle and require no additional tools, shortening installation time. The black color ensures a uniform visual appearance in technical installations and is also highly visible during inspections.
