Description
A ready-made galvanised bend for 42.4mm tube handrails and guard rails. This one-piece bend closes the open end of a level two-rail guard rail, joining the top rail to the middle rail in one smooth U so there is no open tube end to catch clothing. It is bent from the same galvanised tube as the rail, so the run looks continuous, with no bulky fittings and nothing to snag. Join it to straight tube with an internal splice lock, or weld it in and treat the weld with zinc-rich paint. The price shown is for one bend.
Why use a pre-made bend
Smooth and continuous. A bent tube looks cleaner than a clamped joint and leaves no edges for hands or clothing to catch on.
No tube bender needed. The bend is made for you, so site work is just cutting straight tube and joining.
Galvanised for outdoors. Hot-dip galvanised steel stands up to rain and frost with no painting.
Matches standard tube. 42.4mm outside diameter (32NB, 1 1/4 inch), the same as standard galvanised handrail and scaffold tube.
Where it is used
Ends of guard rails on mezzanine platforms, loading bays, roof plant areas, walkways and access gaps; any two-rail barrier with the rails at 550mm centres.

Fitting
Set out the run, then cut the straight tube to length so each joint falls where you want it. Push an internal splice lock for 42.4mm tube into the bend leg and the straight tube and tighten the grub screws, or weld the joint and dress it with zinc-rich paint. Legs can be cut shorter to suit, but keep enough straight tube each side of the bend for a joiner. Close any open tube ends with a domed end cap.

Care
