Why an end cap mattersAn aluminum channel left open at the ends simply looks unfinished. Worse, that opening is an invitation: dust, lint, sawdust and insects work their way inside and settle right on the
LED strip, dulling the light output and creating shadows you can see through the diffuser. This finishing end cap seals the opening, giving your
aluminum profile a tidy, factory-finished edge while protecting the tape light and any soldered connections near the cut. On custom-length runs — and almost every run is custom — the cut end is where the strip is most vulnerable, so capping it is cheap insurance for the whole installation.
Aluminum constructionThis cap is machined from durable aluminum rather than moulded plastic. That means it resists knocks, doesn't go brittle or yellow, and holds its shape over the years — a real advantage in busy kitchens, retail counters, shops and workshops where cabinet doors, tools and carts find every exposed corner. Because it's the same material family as the extrusion itself, the visual transition between profile and cap reads as one continuous piece rather than an add-on, which is exactly the look designers and cabinetmakers are after on
under-cabinet lighting and open shelving.

Compatibility and pairingEnd caps are profile-specific, so always match the cap to the extrusion you are using. Several profile styles exist in the catalogue and choosing the matching cap is what guarantees a flush, gap-free fit; this unit is made for the
#94 aluminum extrusion. Caps are generally used in pairs — one fully closed at the far end, and one with an opening at the wiring end so the power lead can pass through neatly, keeping the cable concealed and strain-free and avoiding an unsightly exposed connection. Since this cap is sold individually, order the quantity your layout actually needs: two per continuous run, or more when a long installation is broken into several segments around corners and appliance gaps. For other systems, see the
Finishing end cap #11 (no hole), the
Finishing end cap #11 (with hole), and for flexible neon, the
Flex neon endcap 3X6 (with hole) or the
Flex neon endcap side view (without hole).
Installation tip and applicationsDry-fit the cap before mounting the channel. Press it firmly into the extrusion; if you want a permanent hold, add a small dab of adhesive inside the cap rather than on the profile face, so the finish stays clean and the cap can still be removed later for service. Plan the wiring end first — decide which side the driver sits on, run the lead through the opened cap, then close the far end. In the field, that translates into kitchen valances and toe-kicks, bathroom vanity lighting, closet and pantry shelves, stair and hallway cove details, garage and workshop benches, office reception desks, restaurant bars and retail display cases across Canada. No spec sheet is listed for this accessory: the fit is determined by the profile style, so confirm you're ordering the #94 version before you cut your channel.
