Elbow for handrail 42,4, Satin, 90°

The Strofix elbow for handrail 42,4, Satin, 90° is a stainless-steel 90° horizontal fitting for the Ø42.4 mm slot (glass-top) handrail profile. It joins two handrail sections at a fixed right angle in the horizontal plane, for a Ø42.4 × 1.5 mm tube, with a height of h=30 mm. Available in AISI 304 or AISI 316 grade with a satin finish.

A horizontal 90° fitting turns the handrail through a right angle on the flat – where two straight rail runs meet at a corner in plan. Unlike the adjustable flush elbows in the range, this fitting has a fixed 90° geometry with a set 30 mm height, so the rail turns a clean right-angle corner. AISI 304 suits interior and standard exterior installations; AISI 316 contains added molybdenum for higher resistance to chlorides and salt air, making it the choice for coastal and high-humidity environments. It is used with the Ø42.4 mm slot handrail profile in a glass-top handrail system.

Use cases:

• Joining two Ø42.4 mm slot handrail sections at a fixed 90° corner in plan
• Right-angle corner in a glass-top balcony or terrace handrail
• L-shaped handrail runs around a landing or stairwell
• Corner transition between two straight glass-top handrail sections
• Pool and seafront handrail corners (AISI 316 recommended)

FAQ

What angle does this fitting make?

It forms a fixed 90° corner in the horizontal plane; it is not adjustable.

What handrail profile does it fit?

The Ø42.4 mm slot (glass-top) handrail profile, sized for a Ø42.4 × 1.5 mm tube.

What is the difference between the horizontal and vertical 90° fitting?

This horizontal fitting turns the rail 90° on the flat, for corners in plan. The vertical 90° fitting turns the rail through a right angle in elevation, for level changes. Choose the one that matches the direction of the turn.

What is the difference between AISI 304 and AISI 316?

AISI 316 contains added molybdenum for higher resistance to chlorides and salt air. Choose AISI 316 for coastal, pool, and high-humidity installations; AISI 304 is sufficient for interiors and standard outdoor conditions.

What is the height of the fitting?

The fitting has a height of h=30 mm.

About Handrails

A handrail is the graspable top rail of a balustrade system, running along the upper edge of railing posts or the top of a glass panel to provide a secure handhold. The handrail profile sits on handrail supports or is fixed directly to the glass via a channel bar, and fittings at each joint – elbows, end caps and axial connectors – allow the rail to follow corners, stair pitches and direction changes.

Strofix supplies handrails and handrail components in two profile systems: a 40×40 mm flat square profile and a Ø42.4 × 15 mm oval (D-shaped) profile for glass-top mounting, both in AISI 304 stainless steel with a satin finish.

The range includes applied handrail lengths (2500 mm), channel bars in AISI 304 and aluminium for glass-top fixing, clamping rubbers for glass thicknesses from 8 to 21.52 mm, end caps, axial fastenings, handrail fittings, horizontal and vertical 90° fittings, and flush adjustable elbows. The correct components depend on handrail profile, mounting method (post-top or glass-top) and the railing layout.
