Abstract
An easy to install one-piece end cap is provided to protect the cut end of insulation over a preinsulated tubing. The end cap has a tubular body which is dimensioned to receive the uncompressed cut end of the insulation in a first passageway portion and, in a second passageway portion to provide a snug fit. A third passageway portion is dimensioned to slide over the exposed end of the tubing so that it may exit the end cap to permit connection. A tube end capped with the end cap is also provided, as is a method of end capping a preinsulated tube.
