Description
A 304 stainless base plate bracket that a 42.4 x 2.0mm post is glued onto, with no welding. The 100mm round plate screws flat to the floor or wall through three countersunk holes, and the hollow 38.2mm spigot goes up inside the post, which is bonded on with retaining adhesive and sits down on the plate. It gives a neat, low base to a handrail or balustrade post and is quick to fit on site without hot works. Satin 304 is the economical choice for indoor and sheltered rails; for outdoor, coastal or pool-side work choose 316. The price shown is for one bracket, minimum order 5.
What you get
| Sold as | One bracket, minimum order 5 |
|---|---|
| Plate | Round 304 stainless plate, 100mm across, 5mm thick, satin |
| Spigot | Hollow, 38.2mm across, 55mm overall from the back of the plate |
| Holes | Three 6.5mm holes, countersunk to 12mm, on a 70mm circle |
| Not included | The post, adhesive and screws |
Why choose this bracket
No welding on site. The post is bonded over the spigot, so there is no hot works permit, no welding kit and no grinding back of the satin finish.
Close fit on standard tube. The 38.2mm spigot fits the 38.4mm bore of 42.4 x 2.0mm tube closely, which is what a retaining adhesive needs to make a strong joint.
Flush, tidy fixings. Three countersunk holes let the screw heads sit flush with the plate, so the base looks clean and nothing catches.
304 grade for indoors. 304 stainless keeps its satin finish for years in offices, shops, schools and hotels at a lower cost than 316. Outdoors, by the sea or near pools, choose a 316 bracket instead.

Fitting
Cut the post square and take the burr off inside the end. Set out and fix the bracket with three stainless countersunk screws and plugs or anchors to suit the floor or wall. Make sure the spigot and the inside of the post are clean and dry, apply a thin film of retaining adhesive round the spigot, then push the post fully down onto the plate, turning it slightly to spread the adhesive, and set it plumb. Wipe off any squeeze-out and leave the joint to cure fully before the rail takes any load; cure is slower in cold weather. Follow your designer for post spacing and fixings where the rail guards a drop.
Care
Indoors, wipe the posts and plates along the grain with a damp cloth when you clean. Use warm soapy water; avoid chlorine bleach, wire wool and scouring pads.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one bracket?
Yes, one bracket. The minimum order is 5, one for each post on a typical run.
Does the post go inside or over the spigot?
Over it. The 38.2mm spigot goes up inside the 42.4mm post and the post sits down on the plate.
Do I need to weld it?
No. It is made to be bonded with a retaining adhesive, which is sold separately.
Will it suit thicker-wall tube?
It is sized for 42.4 x 2.0mm tube with a 38.4mm bore. Thicker-wall tube has a smaller bore and will not go over the spigot.
Will it fit a 48.3mm post?
No. The spigot is 38.2mm and is sized for the bore of 42.4 x 2.0mm tube. Use the 48.3mm bracket.
Are screws included?
No. Use three stainless countersunk screws to suit the floor or wall; the holes are 6.5mm.
