Bend elbow for rod 12mm 102mm, Satin

The Strofix bend elbow for rod 12mm 102mm, Satin is an AISI 304 stainless-steel pre-formed bend for Ø12 mm solid rod, with a 102 mm leg. It carries the rod through a smooth curved bend rather than a sharp mitred corner, giving a softer change of direction. Finished in satin.

This is the longer-leg version of the Ø12 mm rod bend — 102 mm versus the 70 mm version — giving a longer straight tail off the curve where more reach is needed before or after the bend. It is sized for Ø12 mm solid bar, the crossbar/infill rod used in railing infills and balustrade frames. Its pre-formed curve takes the rod around a gentle radius, suited to a rounded corner detail or a smooth transition where a hard angle is not wanted.

Use cases:

• Carrying a Ø12 mm solid rod through a smooth curved bend with a longer 102 mm leg
• Rounded corner details needing additional reach off the curve
• Soft direction changes where a sharp mitred corner is not wanted
• Continuing a Ø12 mm rod line around a gentle radius
• Stainless-steel pre-formed bend for solid railing rod

FAQ

What does this bend fit?

Ø12 mm solid rod (bar) — not hollow tube.

What does the 102 mm refer to?

The 102 mm is the leg dimension of the pre-formed bend — longer than the 70 mm version, giving more reach off the curve.

How does it differ from the 70 mm bend?

Both are pre-formed Ø12 mm rod bends. This version has a longer 102 mm leg; the other has a 70 mm leg. Choose by the reach needed off the curve.

How does it differ from the fixed 90° and adjustable rod elbows?

The fixed 90° elbow makes a sharp right angle and the adjustable elbow sets a variable angle; this bend carries the rod through a smooth curve for a rounded transition.

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.
