Adjustable elbow for rod 12mm, Satin

The Strofix adjustable elbow for rod 12mm, Satin is an AISI 304 stainless-steel adjustable elbow that joins two sections of Ø12 mm solid rod at a variable angle. The adjustable joint lets the angle be set to follow a change of direction, such as a staircase or ramp. Finished in satin.

This adjustable elbow is sized for Ø12 mm solid bar — the crossbar/infill rod used in railing infills and balustrade frames — rather than for hollow tube. It is the larger of the two rod elbows; a matching Ø10 mm rod version is also available. Its adjustable joint allows the connection angle to be set on site, suiting raked runs and direction changes where a fixed elbow would not match the geometry. It joins two rod ends into a continuous line through the elbow.

Use cases:

• Joining two Ø12 mm solid rods at a variable angle
• Angle-adjustable rod joints on staircases and ramps
• Direction changes in rod infill or crossbar frames
• Continuing a Ø12 mm rod line through a set angle
• Stainless-steel adjustable elbow for solid railing rod

FAQ

What does this elbow fit?

Ø12 mm solid rod (bar) — not hollow tube. A Ø10 mm rod version is also available.

What angle range does it cover?

The joint is adjustable, letting the connection angle be set to follow a change of direction such as a staircase or ramp.

How does it differ from the Ø10 mm rod elbow?

Both are adjustable rod elbows. This version fits Ø12 mm rod; the other fits Ø10 mm rod. Choose to match the rod diameter in your railing infill.

How does it differ from the tube elbows?

The tube elbows (40 × 40 square and Ø42.4 round) join hollow railing tube. This elbow is sized for Ø12 mm solid rod used in infills and crossbar frames.

What steel grade and finish are used?

AISI 304 stainless steel with a satin finish.

About Elbows & Connectors

Elbows and connectors are stainless-steel joint fittings that link two sections of handrail or railing tube at a change of direction, creating a continuous, seamless-looking rail line around corners, up staircases and across straight joints. Flush elbows and angles slip over the tube ends and produce a smooth, weld-free joint on the visible surface; welding variants are permanently fused for a rigid connection.

Strofix supplies 15 elbow and connector products for Ø42.4 mm round pipe and 40×40 mm flat square tube, including fixed 90° flush angles, adjustable flush elbows (with one variant covering 0–70°), cross flush angles, tee ("T") connectors, tee corner connectors, inline fittings and welding flush angles — all in AISI 304 stainless steel with a satin finish, with AISI 316 and polished options on selected variants.

The correct fitting depends on tube profile, the angle of the direction change, the number of tube arms meeting at the joint and whether a screwable or welded connection is required.
