Built to finish the profile, not just cover itAn aluminum extrusion left open shows the diffuser edge, the tape light and sometimes the wiring — all the things you spent hours hiding. This finishing end cap is moulded to match a specific channel profile, the #86, so it seats flush against the extrusion walls and the lens instead of floating on top of them. The result is a continuous line from one end of the run to the other, the kind of detail a client notices without being able to say why. Sold as one unit, it lets you order the exact quantity a job needs rather than a fixed kit.
No hole versus with hole: choose the right endThis version is the solid,
no-hole end cap, designed for the closed end of a run where nothing passes through. Most installations use one solid cap on the dead end and one capwith an opening on the feed side, where the low-voltage lead exits toward the driver. Planning both ends before you cut the channel saves a trip back to the bench: decide where your power enters, cut the extrusion square, then finish each side accordingly. A clean, square cut is what makes the cap seat evenly — a file or a quick pass with a deburring tool on the cut edge is always worth the thirty seconds.

Installation and handlingThe sequence that works best: mount or dry-place the extrusion, install the
LED tape light, slide the
diffuser lens fully into its grooves, then press the end cap on until it seats evenly all the way around. Dry-fit first so you can confirm the alignment before anything is permanent. For long runs, cabinets that get opened and closed all day, toe-kicks that meet a vacuum head, or display fixtures handled by staff, add a small bead of clear silicone on the inside face of the cap — it holds firmly and stays invisible from the outside. In a white environment, the white finish disappears into the trim; in a darker cabinet, it reads as a deliberate accent line.
Where it earns its keep and what else to look atKitchen under-cabinet strips, cove lighting in a living room or hotel corridor, stair nosings, pantry and closet shelving, bar fronts, restaurant banquettes, reception desks, retail display cases and backlit signage — anywhere a profile is cut, this cap finishes it. Several profile styles and matching accessories exist across the channel range, so it is worth checking that your cap number matches your extrusion before ordering. If your project also uses a different profile, the
finishing end cap #11 (no hole) and the
finishing end cap #11 (with hole) cover that profile, while flexible neon runs are finished with the
flex neon end cap 3x6 (without hole) or the
flex neon end cap 6x6 (without hole). No documentation file is listed for this accessory; the product photos show the profile shape, and matching it to your extrusion is the surest way to order right the first time.
