Front handle for 12mm, 42.4, Satin

The Strofix front handle for 12mm, 42.4, Satin is an AISI 304 stainless-steel crossbar holder that carries a horizontal Ø12 mm crossbar (infill rod) on the front face of a round Ø42.4 mm post tube. Its base is shaped to seat against the round post, and it holds the rod at the front of the fitting. Satin finish.

This is the tube-mount version of the front-handle crossbar holder, shaped to fit the Ø42.4 mm round railing post – where the flat front handle seats against a flat post face, this one has a saddle profile matching the curve of the round tube. It presents the crossbar on the front face of the holder rather than passing the rod through the body, suiting positions where the rod is carried on the face of a round post. An adjustable front-handle version is also available for runs where the crossbar angle needs to be set.

About Crossbar Holders

A crossbar holder is a stainless-steel fitting that secures a horizontal rod or bar to a railing post, glass panel or flat surface, forming the connection between the infill rod and the structure it passes through. At intermediate posts the rod runs through the holder; at end posts it terminates in a blind hole (left or right hand); and on glass panels a dedicated glass-mount holder clamps the rod to the panel face.

Strofix supplies 12 crossbar holder products in several configurations: through-hole holders for Ø42.4 mm round pipe and flat-sided posts, left and right blind-hole bar holders for Ø42.4 mm and flat posts, connecting holders for intermediate positions, a vertical holder, and a glass-mount holder – in AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel with satin or polished finishes, with holder heights of 20, 22 and 23 mm for Ø10 and Ø12 mm rod diameters.

The correct holder depends on post profile, rod diameter, position in the railing run and whether the rod terminates or passes through.
