Description
A cast steel fleur-de-lys spear railhead, square spigot, 123 x 52mm, to finish the top of railings and gates. A narrow diamond spear with a raised cross, over two low curled petals, a square collar and a 12mm square spigot 12mm long. The price shown is for one railhead, with a minimum order of 10.
Why choose this railhead
Made for 12mm square bar. The square collar and 12mm square spigot line up with the faces of a 12mm square bar for a clean, flush joint.
A spigot that locates it. The 12mm square spigot sets the head on the bar end, so it stands straight while you weld.
Raw steel, ready for your finish. At about 0.12 kg each, it comes as bare steel, so you can weld first, then prime and paint, or galvanise and powder coat the finished panel.
Where it is used
Front garden and boundary railings, side and pedestrian gates, park and churchyard railings, and repairs to existing runs.

Which bar does it suit?
| Upright on your railing | How it fits |
|---|---|
| 12mm square bar | Butt weld the spigot to the bar end, near flush. The best match |
| 16mm square or round bar | Butt weld the spigot centrally and dress the joint |
| 16mm square tube with a 2mm wall | Spigot drops into the 12mm bore, weld round the collar |
How many do you need?
You need one for every bar that rises above the top rail. Divide the run by your bar spacing and round up.
| Run length | 110mm centres | 120mm centres |
|---|---|---|
| 1 metre gate | 10 | 9 |
| 2 metres of railing | 19 | 17 |
| 3 metres of railing | 28 | 25 |
| 5 metres of railing | 46 | 42 |
The head is 52mm across, so check it clears its neighbour at your spacing. On stairs, landings and balconies in homes, the gap between bars must not let a 100mm sphere pass through.

Fitting and care
Cut every bar to the same height, square the ends and grind them flat. Stand each head on its bar, check it is upright from the front and the side, tack it, then weld all round and dress the joint. A string line across the tips keeps the row level.
Degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Hot-dip galvanising before powder coating gives the longest life outdoors.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one?
Yes, one railhead, with a minimum order of 10. For a larger run, call us for a quantity price.
Is it painted?
No. It is raw steel and will rust if left bare outdoors, so prime and paint it, or galvanise it, once it is welded on.
Is it sharp?
The tip is pointed. For schools, play areas and public places, consider a rounded head such as the rounded bud railhead.
Are they all exactly the same?
They are cast from the same pattern, but cast parts vary by a millimetre or two. Set them to a string line when fitting.
