Rod railing system for a flat surface, End Left - 42.4

The Strofix rod railing system for a flat surface, End Left - 42.4 is a complete end (terminal) railing post supplied with 4 crossbar holders for the horizontal rod (bar) infill. It has a 40 × 40 × 2 mm post standing H=1060 mm on a 108 × 108 mm base, with its top configured for a round Ø42.4 mm tube handrail, and is made for flat-surface (level) mounting. Available in AISI 304 or AISI 316 grade with a satin finish.

This is the end configuration: the post sits at the left-hand end of a straight railing run, carrying 4 crossbar holders to secure the horizontal rods where the rod (bar) balustrade terminates. The "End Left" designation places the post at the left end of the run; a matching "End Right" version is available for the opposite end. The "42.4" designation is the version for the round Ø42.4 mm tube handrail; a "Flat" version for the flat 40 × 40 handrail is also available. 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 a finished post system from the Strofix For Rod railing range, for level surfaces rather than stairs.

Use cases:

• End post for a rod (bar) infill railing on a flat surface
• Left-hand termination of horizontal rod railings topped with a round Ø42.4 handrail

• Residential and commercial rod balustrades

About Rod Railing Posts

A rod railing post is a stainless-steel vertical upright designed to carry horizontal rod crossbars between posts, forming a balustrade with an open, linear infill. The rods pass through pre-drilled holes or fittings in the post, and a handrail sits on top, creating a lightweight barrier that maintains visibility while providing fall protection on balconies, terraces, mezzanines and staircases.

Strofix supplies rod railing post systems in four configurations — flat surface with flat (40×40 mm) post, flat surface with round (Ø42.4 mm) post, stairs with flat post, and stairs with round post — all in AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel with a satin finish.

A standard fitting accessory for the rod-to-post connection is also available separately. The correct system depends on installation surface (flat or stairs), post profile (flat or round) and the required steel grade.
