Cross connector for pipe 42,4 x 2mm, Satin

The Strofix cross connector for pipe 42,4 × 2mm, Satin is an AISI 304 stainless-steel cross flush angle that joins four sections of Ø42.4 × 2 mm round railing tube at a perpendicular cross junction. Two tubes cross at 90°, with all four arms meeting flush at the centre. The fitting is 92 mm high, finished in satin, and is adhesive-fixed — no welding required.

This cross flush angle creates a four-way junction where two runs of round tube intersect at right angles — for example, where an intermediate horizontal rail crosses a vertical post, or where two rails meet and continue in a grid or infill pattern. The flush profile produces a smooth, weld-free joint on the visible surface, with the tubes appearing to pass cleanly through the junction. The fitting slips over the tube ends and is secured with adhesive, giving a rigid cross connection without site welding.

Use cases:

• Joining four Ø42.4 mm round tube arms at a perpendicular cross junction
• Intermediate horizontal rail crossing a vertical post or rail
• Grid or infill patterns in round-tube balustrades
• Weld-free flush cross joint on the visible rail surface
• Stainless-steel cross flush angle for round railing tube

FAQ

What does a cross connector do?

It joins four arms of round tube at a perpendicular cross junction — two tubes crossing at 90°, meeting flush at the centre.

What tube does it fit?

Ø42.4 × 2 mm round railing tube.

What is the fitting height?

92 mm.

How is it fixed?

It is a flush fitting that slips over the tube ends and is secured with adhesive — no welding is required.

How does it differ from a tee connector?

A tee (T) joins three arms; this cross joins four arms at a perpendicular intersection.

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.
