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?

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.
