Description
A 316 stainless bracket that side-fixes a 48.3mm balustrade or handrail post to a vertical face. The 300mm plate bolts flat to the side of a slab edge, stair flight, wall or steel beam, and two clamp rings hold the post 70mm out from that face, so the post rises clear of the floor without being fixed into it. That keeps the walking surface and its waterproofing intact and gives the full width of a stair or balcony. Satin 316 suits outdoor, coastal and pool-side work. The price shown is for one bracket; you need one per post.
What you get
| Sold as | One bracket, for one post |
|---|---|
| Plate | 300 x 69 x 10mm, 316 stainless, satin, rounded ends |
| Clamp rings | Two, fixed to the plate, each closed with a hex socket screw |
| Not included | The post, and the anchors or bolts that fix the plate to the structure |
Why choose this bracket
Keeps the floor clear. Fixing posts to the side of a balcony slab, landing or stair means no holes through the walking surface, no breaks in a membrane, and no base plates to trip on or narrow a stair. It is the usual way to fit a balustrade where the deck is tiled, waterproofed or too thin to take floor bolts.
Gripped at two points. The rings sit 42mm in from each end of the plate, about 200mm apart between centres, so the post is held at two points well apart. That resists the post rocking far better than a single collar.
316 for outdoors. 316 stainless contains molybdenum, which gives it much better resistance to salt and chlorine than 304. For indoor or sheltered work the 304 bracket for 48.3mm posts costs less.

Fitting
Set out the posts along the edge and hold each bracket plumb against the face, positioned so the anchors go into sound material well clear of the edge. Mark through the fixing hole, drill and fix with stainless anchors or through-bolts suited to the structure, such as resin anchors in concrete. Stand the post in both rings at the right height, check it is plumb, and tighten both ring screws. Cut and cap the post bottom neatly below the plate.
Safety. A side-fixed balustrade puts high loads into the fixings and the edge of the slab. The fixing type, embedment, post spacing and edge distance for a guarding balustrade must be designed and signed off by whoever is responsible for the job, to BS 6180 where it applies.
Care
Outdoors, rinse the brackets and posts with fresh water and wipe along the grain every few weeks, more often near the sea or a pool, so salt and chlorine do not leave brown tea staining. Use warm soapy water; avoid chlorine bleach, wire wool and scouring pads, and use stainless fixings so they do not rust stain the plate.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one bracket?
Yes, one bracket with its two clamp rings. You need one bracket for each post.
Are the wall fixings included?
No. Fixings depend on what you are fixing into, so choose stainless anchors or bolts to suit, or call us for advice.
How far does the post stand off the wall?
The post centre is 70mm from the face of the wall, so a 48.3mm post has a gap of about 46mm between the wall and the back of the post.
Will it fit a 42.4mm post?
No, the rings are made for 48.3mm. Use the 316 side-fixing bracket for 42.4mm posts.
Can I use it by the sea or round a pool?
Yes, that is what 316 is for. Use stainless fixings and rinse it with fresh water now and then.
