Description
A 1060mm length of galvanised steel tube, 42.4mm outside diameter with a 3.2mm wall, for key clamp handrails, barriers and frames. This is the tube size for 42.4mm key clamp fittings, galvanised for outdoor use and supplied with square cut ends. At 1060mm it makes a ready-made upright for handrails and barriers, with no cutting. Each length weighs about 3.1 kg.

Why choose this tube
Made for key clamp fittings. 42.4mm is the outside diameter that 42.4mm key clamp tees, elbows, flanges and crosses are made to fit, so the fittings grub-screw straight on.
The standard handrail size. 42.4mm with a 3.2mm wall is the most popular size for handrails on steps and ramps, rigid and comfortable to grip.
Galvanised for outdoors. The zinc finish protects the tube on ramps, steps, barriers and frames out in the weather.
A ready-made post length. At 1060mm it is the right height for a handrail or barrier upright set in a base flange, so there is nothing to cut.
Where it is used
Handrails on steps and ramps, guard rails and edge protection, barriers and pedestrian guards, frames for staging, shelving, benches and greenhouses, gate frames, and general fabrication and repairs.

Cutting and fitting
Measure the run and cut the tube square with a pipe cutter, cold saw or hacksaw, then deburr the end and treat the bare steel with zinc-rich paint. Slide the key clamp fittings on, set the rails level and the uprights plumb, and tighten the grub screws with an Allen key.
