Pressed Steel Chain Link Loop Caps, Galvanized - Multiple Sizes

Product Description

Pressed Steel Chain Link Loop Cap for Top Rail — Galvanized, Multiple Sizes

• Heavy-Duty Line-Post Cap — Guides top rail or tension wire straight across line posts
• Galvanized Protection — Zinc-coated pressed steel stands up to weather and jobsite abuse
• Secure, Low-Profile Fit — Tension-set over the post; keeps rail aligned at a uniform height
• Sized for Common Framework — Options for 1-5/8″, 1-7/8″, 2-3/8″, and 2-7/8″ posts with 1-3/8″ or 1-5/8″ rail
• Commercial-Ready — Heavier-gauge steel is a favorite for high-traffic or long runs
• Barbed Wire Note — Use a line post barb arm with integrated loop wherever barbed wire is installed

Pressed-steel loop caps (eye-tops) sit on your line posts and carry the top rail or tension wire in one continuous run to the nearest terminal. The galvanized steel body resists corrosion and impacts, delivering a tight, professional fit without extra fasteners—ideal for commercial and heavy-duty residential chain link systems.

Why Choose This

• Rugged construction — Pressed steel handles bumps and high-use environments
• Reliable alignment — Keeps the rail straight and at consistent elevation
• Simple install — Press/tension fit over the post; no screws or bands required
• Flexible sizing — Matches standard post and rail diameters used on chain link

Specifications

Installation

Seat a loop cap on each line post with the loop perpendicular to the fence line. Press down until fully seated (a snug fit is normal). Feed the top rail or tension wire through the loop and continue to the terminal post for attachment with a rail end and brace band. Where barbed wire is used, replace the loop cap with a line post barb arm that includes an integrated loop.

Buying Guide

• Pick by post and rail: Match the actual post O.D. and the top rail O.D. (1-3/8″ or 1-5/8″) to the size options above.
• Pressed steel vs. aluminum: Pressed steel is tougher for high-traffic and long runs; aluminum won’t rust and is popular for residential/coastal.
• Where they go: Use loop caps on line posts; terminate rails at ends/corners with rail ends + brace bands.
• Barbed wire lines: Use line post barb arms with loops anywhere barbed wire is installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. They’re tension-set over the post—no additional hardware is required.

Which size should I choose?

Match the actual post O.D. and the top rail O.D. you’re running (see the Spec table for pairings).

Are pressed-steel caps better for commercial jobs?

They’re preferred for durability and impact resistance; aluminum caps are lighter and rust-proof for residential.

Can I use these on a fence with barbed wire?

Use a line post barb arm with an integrated loop wherever barbed wire is installed.
