Welding cross connector for pipe 42,4 x 2mm, Satin

The Strofix welding cross connector for pipe 42,4 × 2mm, Satin is an AISI 304 stainless-steel welding 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 fixed by welding for a permanent, rigid connection.

This is the welding version of the cross flush angle. Where the adhesive cross is bonded in place, this fitting is welded to the tubes, giving a permanently fused, rigid four-way junction suited to structural intersections or fabricated steel assemblies. Two runs of round tube intersect at right angles — for example, where an intermediate horizontal rail crosses a vertical post, or in a grid or infill pattern. The flush profile produces a smooth joint on the visible surface, with the tubes appearing to pass cleanly through the junction.

Use cases:

• Welded four-way junction of Ø42.4 mm round tubes at a perpendicular cross
• Structural tube intersections requiring a rigid, fused joint
• Intermediate horizontal rail crossing a vertical post or rail
• Grid or infill patterns in fabricated round-tube balustrades
• Stainless-steel welding cross flush angle for round railing tube

FAQ

How does this differ from the adhesive cross connector?

Both create a flush four-way cross junction for Ø42.4 mm tube. This version is welded to the tubes for a permanent, rigid connection; the adhesive cross is bonded in place without welding. The welded version is lower in price.

What tube does it fit?

Ø42.4 × 2 mm round railing tube.

What is the fitting height?

92 mm.

How is it fixed?

By welding — the fitting is welded to the tubes for a permanent, rigid junction.

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.
