Description
An internal expanding joint that connects two lengths of 48.3mm tube end to end. Each half slides inside a tube, and tightening the set screw expands it to grip. The collar sits flush with the tube, so the rail stays smooth. The price shown is for one joint, with a minimum order of 5.
Important: this joint must not be used as a load bearing joint. Support the tube on both sides of the join.

Why choose this joint
Flush finish. The 48mm collar lines up with the tube, so a joined rail runs smooth under the hand.
No welding. Cut the tube, push the joint in and tighten the set screw.
Extends a run. Join two lengths of the same tube where one length will not reach.
Where it is used
Tube handrails, guard rails and tube frames, where the tube is supported on both sides of the join.
