Patent attributes
An open ended cap for a pipe is provided comprising a flexible tubular body wherein one end has a downwardly-extending radial rim. The tubular body includes a finger grip member recessed from the end of the cap and extending inwardly from an inner periphery of the rim and connected to a tear strip extending across the rim and downwardly along at least a portion of the tubular body. The tubular body optionally has an interior wall surface having multiple compressible longitudinal fit beads which are configured to provide contact with the external surface of a pipe upon being inserted into the end cap. The open ended cap may be used in conjunction with a closed end cap fit within the bore of the pipe to maximize protection of both the exterior and interior of the pipe.
