Unlike generic round sockets, the contoured oval interior (matching 15×30mm dimensions) locks the tube in place, preventing hangers from spinning—a key benefit for organized closet storage. With a 30 lbs (13.6 kg) load capacity, it supports everyday clothing (shirts, dresses, casual coats) while maintaining a compact profile (12mm thickness) to save closet space. The silver finish (Pantone 14-4102 TPX) complements both modern and traditional furniture, making it a versatile choice for DIY closet upgrades or rental property renovations.

• Installation Type: Wall-mounted (pre-drilled 5mm holes; screws not included for custom length selection)
• Edge Treatment: Smooth rounded edges (1mm radius) to prevent fabric snags
• Oval-Specific Contour: The interior shape matches 15×30mm oval tubes, eliminating rotation and hanger shifting. Unlike round sockets, it provides 360° stability for organized closet storage.
• Space-Saving Slim Profile: At 12mm thick, it protrudes 30% less than standard round sockets, maximizing usable space in small closets, RVs, or dorm rooms.
• Tarnish-Resistant Silver Finish: The electroplated coating resists tarnishing in dry environments (bedrooms, hall closets) for 5+ years. It complements wooden or laminate closet interiors.
• Easy DIY Installation: Pre-drilled 5mm holes align with standard wall studs. Use #6 × 1" wood screws (for studs) or #6 × 1.25" drywall anchors (for hollow walls)—available at hardware stores.

• Light Commercial: Boutique B&B guest room closets, small hotel wardrobes, and retail fitting room racks (organizes display clothing).
• DIY Projects: Custom closet systems (e.g., IKEA PAX hacks) with 15×30mm oval tubes, garage storage racks for seasonal items, and laundry room drying rails.
Q: Will this socket fit a 16×32mm oval tube?
A: No—it’s precision-engineered for 15×30mm oval tubes. A 16×32mm tube will not fit, and forcing it may crack the socket. For 16×32mm tubes, use our 16×32mm Oval Wardrobe Tube End Socket (sold separately).
Q: What screws should I buy for installation?
A: For wood studs: #6 × 1" wood screws (Home Depot/Lowe’s). For drywall: #6 × 1.25" plastic anchors with screws (rated for 22 lbs). For plaster walls: #6 × 1.5" metal anchors to prevent cracking.
Q: How do I prevent the oval tube from slipping out of the socket?
A: Apply a small drop of E6000 rubber adhesive to the tube end before insertion—this creates a secure bond without damaging the socket or tube. For temporary setups, wrap a thin rubber band around the tube end to increase friction.
Q: Can I use this in a bathroom closet with steam exposure?
A: The electroplated finish resists mild humidity but not direct steam. For bathroom closets, upgrade to 304 Stainless Steel Oval End Sockets (sold separately) to avoid rust. If using this model, wipe it dry weekly and apply clear lacquer yearly.
