Connector Y for profile 40x40x2mm, Satin

The Strofix connector Y for profile 40×40×2mm, Satin is an AISI 304 stainless-steel three-arm fitting that joins three sections of 40 × 40 mm square railing tube in a Y configuration. The three arms meet at angles forming a "Y", creating a branched junction in the rail line. Finished in satin.

This Y connector is used where a rail branches into two directions, or where three rail arms meet at a shared junction at angles other than a square tee. It creates a clean, flush three-way junction in the 40 × 40 mm square tube system. It is the most substantial of the square-tube connectors, reflecting the more complex three-arm geometry — which is also why it carries a higher price than the straight, tee, or 90° fittings. Choose the Y connector for branched or angled three-arm junctions; tee, cross, straight and elbow fittings cover the other junction types.

Use cases:

• Joining three 40 × 40 mm square tube sections in a Y (branched) junction
• Branching a rail line into two directions
• Three-arm angled junction in a square-tube railing frame
• Decorative or structural branch point in a square-tube balustrade
• Stainless-steel Y connector for square railing tube

FAQ

What does a Y connector do?

It joins three sections of square tube at angles forming a "Y" — a branched junction, as distinct from a square tee (T) where one arm meets a straight run at 90°.

What tube does it fit?

40 × 40 mm square tube.

How does it differ from the tee (T) connector?

A tee joins two straight arms plus a third at 90°. A Y joins three arms at angles forming a "Y" branch. Choose the fitting for the geometry of the junction.

Why is it more expensive than the other connectors?

The three-arm Y geometry is more complex to manufacture than the straight, tee, or elbow fittings, which is reflected in the price.

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.
