Bend elbow for rod 12mm 70mm, Satin

The Strofix bend elbow for rod 12mm 70mm, Satin is an AISI 304 stainless-steel pre-formed bend for Ø12 mm solid rod, with a 70 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 bend elbow 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. The 70 mm dimension refers to the leg of the bend. It is the lowest-cost of the Ø12 mm rod elbows.

Use cases:

• Carrying a Ø12 mm solid rod through a smooth curved bend
• Rounded corner details in rod infill or crossbar frames
• 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 70 mm refer to?

The 70 mm is the leg dimension of the pre-formed bend.

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

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

How does it differ from the tube elbows?

The tube elbows join hollow railing tube (40 × 40 square, Ø42.4 round). This bend 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.
