Vertical elbow for handrail 42,4, Satin, 90°

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

A vertical 90° fitting turns the handrail through a right angle in elevation – where the rail changes level rather than direction on the flat. Unlike the adjustable flush elbows in the range, this fitting has a fixed 90° geometry with a set 30 mm height, so the two rail sections meet at a clean right angle. It is used with the Ø42.4 mm slot handrail profile in a glass-top handrail system, alongside the range's end caps, axial fastenings, and adjustable elbows.

Use cases:

• Joining two Ø42.4 mm slot handrail sections at a fixed 90° in the vertical plane
• Right-angle level change in a glass-top handrail run
• Handrail return where the rail turns 90° up or down
• Stair-to-landing handrail transition requiring a fixed right angle
• Stainless-steel vertical 90° fitting for slot handrail

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.
