Abstract

The invention provides a molded tube with a sealed end. When the tube body is placed front of a press mold, an end of the tube body is heated while being rotated until the ends is moldable. Thereafter, the end portion of the tube is shaped in a manner that an inner wall of the end portion of the tube body tapes outwardly, so that a wall thickness of the tube body is smaller than that of the end portion. A plurality of threads or a groove is further formed on an external surface of the end portion of the tube to further fastening an additional element.
