A split tube for use in a fluid friction assembly, such as a clutch or brake, includes a tube body with end caps disposed at each end. The end caps seal the ends of the tube, and further provide a device to connect the two end caps. This arrangement allows the tube to be placed about the shaft of a friction assembly, and then formed into a continuous ring. The ends of the tube are connected, and will not be flung radially outwardly at high rotational speeds.
