Full Description

The CoR Protector 4 End Cap is the flexible PVC cap for the top and bottom of the CoR Protector 4, in the CoRound Corner Protector line. Each corner guard takes two of them, so the caps close both ends. The cap measures 2.3 in per side, and it comes in Pure White 9010, Sand White 9002 and Gray 7040.

What does the CoR Protector 4 End Cap do? Each CoR Protector 4 End Cap closes one end of the CoR Protector 4 corner guard: one goes at the top, one at the bottom. It is flexible PVC. First, installers screw the CoR Protector 4 Base to the corner and snap the guard onto it. Then they finish the corner guard with the two end caps.

What Is the CoR Protector 4 End Cap?

It is a flexible PVC cap, 2.3 in per side, for the top and bottom of the CoR Protector 4. Each corner guard therefore takes two of them: one at the top and one at the bottom.

The guard is PVC, while the CoR Protector 4 Base under it is rigid PVC. The wider CoR Protector 8 also has its own cap: the CoR Protector 8 End Cap, 4.7 in per side.

Why Finish a Corner Guard With End Caps?

Without caps, the guard stays open at the top and at the bottom. The end caps cover them, so both ends of the guard are closed. Rounded shape, with a smooth, non-porous surface that is easy to clean.

The color runs through the PVC: a hit or a scratch shows the same color, and there is no paint or coating to chip. The corner guard comes in Pure White 9010, Sand White 9002 and Gray 7040. Also in Safety Yellow 1018, for visibility. The end caps, however, come in Pure White 9010, Sand White 9002 and Gray 7040 only.

Where Do the End Caps Go?

They go at the top and at the bottom of each CoR Protector 4, on 90° outside corners and columns. Designed for walk-in coolers, food plants and commercial kitchens. Typical rooms include:

  • Commercial kitchens
  • Processing and packing rooms in food plants
  • Walk-in coolers built with insulated panels

In each case, the guard protects wall corners against everyday bumps from carts and mop buckets, while the two caps finish its ends.

How Do You Install the CoR Protector 4 End Cap?

First, installers fasten the CoR Protector 4 Base to vertical wall corners with appropriate screws. Then they snap the CoR Protector 4 profile onto the base and finish with CoR Protector 4 End Caps.

If a corner piece or end cap leaves a gap, it is not fully seated: tap it into place with a rubber mallet. Store the profiles out of direct sunlight and heat before installation. PVC left in the sun can soften and lose its shape. These instructions are general installation advice: the installer chooses the method that suits the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly are sanitary PVC profiles?

Sanitary PVC profiles, also called sanitary cove base, round off the corner where two surfaces meet: floor and wall, wall and wall, or wall and ceiling. The rounded profile removes the square corner where dirt builds up, and the smooth, non-porous surface is easy to clean. CoRound profiles are precision-extruded from rigid PVC, with flexible co-extruded lips on the cove base and the sanitary base.

Why not just use traditional silicone sealant for corner junctions?

Exposed sealant can need cleaning and, over time, redoing: each time that means a service call, material and labor. With CoRound, no sealant line is required along the wall. The system has pre-formed corners, no silicone-filled field cuts. Silicone is optional: not required for installation.

Where are CoRound profiles used?

Applications include walk-in coolers and freezers, food plants, commercial kitchens, cleanrooms and pharmaceutical facilities. Installs on insulated panels, FRP-covered walls, tile, masonry and drywall. PVC is a thermal-break material: it conducts far less heat than metal.

Can CoRound profiles be used in walk-in coolers and freezers?

Walk-in coolers and freezers are among the applications of CoRound profiles. Operating temperature: −4 °F to +140 °F. For colder applications, contact us.

How do sanitary PVC profiles compare with tile or metal bases?

A tile cove base has grout lines, and grout can hold dirt and moisture. CoRound profiles have a smooth PVC surface with no grout lines. Metal bases and channels can rust where water sits. PVC does not rust. CoRound costs less than stainless steel.

What’s the difference between a standard baseboard and a sanitary profile like CoR Skirt?

The CoR Skirt is a rigid PVC sanitary base with a rounded profile and flexible co-extruded lips. Unlike a rubber base, it can be screwed or riveted to the wall, so it doesn’t have to depend on adhesive. When the CoR Skirt is screwed or riveted, the fasteners sit behind a snap-on cover strip: no exposed screw heads to collect dirt.

How do the flexible lips work?
  • CoR Skirt sanitary base: Flexible co-extruded lips press against the wall and the floor and follow small surface irregularities, closing the juncture. In wet areas, installers can add a thin bead of neutral silicone to help keep water from getting behind the profile.
  • CoR 4 cove base: Flexible co-extruded lips press against both walls, or the wall and the ceiling, and follow small surface irregularities, closing the junction.

On standard cold storage panels with mesa or wide-rib profiles, the flexible lip follows the ribs. Silicone is optional: not required for installation.

Is installation complicated? Do I need a specialized technician?

The panel crew can install the profiles: no separate flooring or welding crew to schedule.

The CoR Skirt is screwed or riveted to the wall, or bonded with adhesive: installer’s choice. The CoR 4 snaps onto the CoR 4 Base, which is pre-drilled and fastened with screws or rivets. Corners, joints and end caps press or snap into place.

Do I need to purchase special accessory pieces for corners and junctions?

Yes, and that’s one of the strengths of a complete system like CoRound. One system for the whole room: base track, sanitary base or heavy-duty curb, cove base for wall and ceiling junctions, pre-formed corners, end caps and corner guards, all made to fit together. CoRound Basic for cost-sensitive projects; CoRound Seal adds corner pieces and end caps with flexible lips.

What maintenance do CoRound profiles need?

Resistant to common cleaning chemicals; can be washed with water up to +140 °F. PVC does not rust. The first CoRound installations date back to 2010.
