The British Rail Class 413 (or 4Cap) units were formed in 1982 by permanently coupling two Class 414 2Hap units together. The cabs in the centre of the unit were decommissioned, thus reducing the weight of the units.

There were two sub-classes of units. The thirteen Class 413/2 unit were converted in 1982 from 'Phase 1' 2Hap units (6001-6042, later reclassified as Class 414/2). Units were marshalled with the driving motor vehicles in the centre.

Eleven Class 413/3 unit were converted in 1982 from 'Phase 2' 2Hap units (6043-6173, later reclassified as Class 414/3). Units were marshalled with the driving motor vehicles in the centre.
