Made from hot-dip galvanized steel, each rail end resists rust and is designed to accommodate the 1-5\/8\" outer-diameter pipe while leaving a small allowance for easier assembly and disassembly. The set includes eight identical end pieces so you can repair multiple posts or keep spares on hand for future maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these rail ends fit a 1-5\/8\" top rail?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rail ends are shaped to accept a pipe with a 1-5\/8\" outer diameter; they don’t bind tightly around the pipe so the rail can be removed if needed. Measure your rail OD before purchase to confirm compatibility. Their design provides a functional, friction-assisted fit rather than a permanent, welded joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits top rails with an outer diameter of 1-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeaves slight clearance for assembly and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo drilling or welding required for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and finish are used, and why does that matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese end caps are manufactured from steel and finished with a hot-dip galvanization process for improved hardness and corrosion resistance.
