Purpose of Elbows and Connectors
Elbows and connectors allow stainless steel railing components to be joined quickly and accurately without complex fabrication or welding. They provide secure connections, structural stability and a clean, professional appearance. Choosing the correct fittings ensures a consistent railing design throughout the entire project.
What Types of Elbows and Connectors Are Available?
To make product selection easier, the range is divided into four main categories:
- Round Tube Elbows and Connectors – designed for Ø33.7 mm, Ø42.4 mm and Ø50.8 mm round tubes.
- Square Tube Elbows and Connectors – for square tube railing systems.
- Wooden Handrail Elbows and Connectors – for joining and changing the direction of wooden handrails.
- Infill Tube Connectors – designed for stainless steel infill tube systems.
Each subcategory helps you quickly find the right fittings for your specific railing system.
AISI 304 or AISI 316?
Most elbows and connectors are manufactured from either AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel. AISI 304 is the preferred choice for indoor applications, while AISI 316 offers superior corrosion resistance and is recommended for outdoor and coastal environments.

Installation
Most elbows and connectors are installed using adhesive, screws or other mechanical fastening methods, depending on the product design. Properly selected fittings ensure a secure, durable and professional railing installation.
For a complete railing system, we recommend combining these fittings with matching tubes, handrails, railing posts, handrail brackets, end caps and other compatible railing components.
