Rod railing system for stairs, End Left - 42.4

The Strofix rod railing system for stairs, End Left - 42.4 is a complete end (terminal) railing post for stairs, supplied with 4 crossbar holders for the horizontal rod (bar) infill. It has a 40 × 40 × 2 mm post standing H=960 mm on a 108 × 108 mm base, with its top configured for a round Ø42.4 mm tube handrail, and is made for stair (inclined) installation. Available in AISI 304 or AISI 316 grade with a satin finish.

This is the end configuration for a staircase: the post sits at the left-hand end of a stair railing run, carrying 4 crossbar holders to secure the horizontal rods where the rod (bar) balustrade terminates, so the railing follows the pitch of the stairs. 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, made for stairs rather than flat surfaces.

Use cases:

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.
