Our 19mm Tube End Brackets—crafted from zinc-plated steel (stronger than mild steel alternatives)—are engineered to deliver reliable, stable tube support for everyday use.Designed to secure tube ends to walls, ceilings, or cabinets, they effectively prevent lateral movement and ensure structural stability for your setup. Unlike generic end brackets that fit multiple tube sizes (and sacrifice a tight fit), these brackets are precision-made exclusively for 19mm tubes—eliminating wobble entirely and optimizing load distribution for safer, more durable support.

Made from zinc-plated steel (stronger than mild steel alternatives), these brackets are designed to secure the ends of tubes to walls, ceilings, or cabinets, preventing lateral movement and ensuring structural stability. Unlike generic end brackets that fit multiple tube sizes (and compromise on fit), these are precision-engineered for 19mm tubes, eliminating wobble and improving load distribution. Their compact design (22mm × 20mm × 20mm) makes them ideal for visible installations where bulky hardware would disrupt aesthetics, such as bedroom closets or kitchen towel racks. Whether used alone (for short spans) or with centre brackets (for longer runs), these end brackets meet EN 10219 standards and provide a cost-effective solution for everyday tube support needs.
• Material: Zinc-plated steel (0.25-0.35% carbon content for added strength; 10μm zinc coating)
• Tube Compatibility: Exclusively for 19mm outer-diameter round tubes (tolerance: ±0.1mm for snug fit)
• Load Capacity: Up to 55 lbs (25 kg) per bracket when mounted to wood studs; 33 lbs (15 kg) for drywall (with anchors)
• Dimensions: (L) 22mm × (W) 20mm × (H) 20mm (compact to avoid visual bulk)
• Mounting Type: Single-hole design (M6 bolt, 20mm length included; compatible with wood or drywall anchors)
• Finish: Zinc-plated (yellow passivation for enhanced rust resistance; meets ASTM B633 standard)
• Installation Requirement: Minimum tube insertion depth of 30mm (1.2") to ensure full load capacity
• Testing: Passes 72-hour salt spray testing (ISO 9227) for indoor use; limited resistance to humidity
• Snug Fit for Stability: Precision-engineered for 19mm tubes, the closed-end cradle eliminates wobble—unlike adjustable brackets that fit multiple sizes. The ±0.1mm tolerance ensures the tube stays in place even with frequent use.
• Enhanced Strength: Zinc-plated steel offers 30% more tensile strength than mild steel, making it suitable for heavier items like cast-iron cookware (when used as a pot rack bracket) or winter coats.
• Easy Alignment: The single-hole mounting design simplifies installation—mark the wall, drill a 3mm pilot hole, and secure with the included M6 bolt. A built-in level line (etched on the bracket) helps ensure straight placement.
• Humidity Resistance: Yellow passivation treatment adds a layer of protection against minor moisture (e.g., bathroom steam), making it suitable for well-ventilated bathrooms or kitchens.
• Cost-Effective: Priced 20% lower than stainless steel alternatives, while still outlasting plastic brackets by 8+ years.
• Versatile Mounting: Can be mounted horizontally (for closet rods) or vertically (for towel racks), adapting to different project needs.
Ideal for end-support needs across residential and light commercial spaces:
• Residential Bathrooms: End supports for 19mm towel racks (holds 2-3 large towels without wobble) or shower curtain rods (in well-ventilated enclosures).
• Bedroom Closets: Secures the ends of 19mm closet rods, working with centre brackets for spans over 1.2m (e.g., in kids’ bedrooms with toy storage or adult closets with heavy clothing).
• Kitchen Use: End brackets for 19mm pot racks (supports lightweight cookware) or utensil hanging rails (near stovetops for easy access).
• Retail Displays: End supports for 19mm clothing racks in small boutiques or accessory displays (e.g., scarf racks in department stores).
Q: What’s the minimum tube insertion depth, and why does it matter?
A: The tube must insert at least 30mm (1.2") into the bracket to ensure full 55lb load capacity. Shallow insertion (less than 20mm) reduces load capacity to 22lbs, increasing the risk of the tube slipping out.
Q: Can these be used with aluminum tubes, and will galvanic corrosion occur?
A: Yes, they work with 19mm aluminum tubes. Galvanic corrosion is minimal in dry indoor environments, but for humid areas (e.g., bathrooms), apply a thin layer of anti-oxidation paste (available separately) at the joint to prevent metal-to-metal reaction.
Q: Do these brackets come with drywall anchors, or do I need to buy them separately?
A: Drywall anchors are not included (to let you choose the right type for your wall thickness). We recommend #6 plastic drywall anchors (rated for 33lbs) for standard 12mm drywall—available at Home Depot, Lowe’s, or local hardware stores.
Q: How do I remove the bracket if I need to reposition it?
A: Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the M6 bolt. If the bolt is stuck (due to minor rust), apply a small amount of penetrating oil (e.g., WD-40) and let it sit for 5 minutes before unscrewing. Avoid prying the bracket, as this may damage the wall.
