Each barrel has its own grub screw. This means a rail can carry on past a post, or two tubes of different sizes can pass each other, with no cut at the crossing. The large barrel is 48.3mm and the small barrel is 42.4mm, measured across the outside of the tube. The fitting is galvanised malleable cast iron. The price shown is for one fitting, with a minimum order of 5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/key-clamp-offset-crossover-reducer-48-3mm-42-4mm-tube-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the offset crossover reducer, with barrels for 48.3mm and 42.4mm tube side by side at 90 degrees\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy an offset crossover works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLess cutting on long rails.\u003c\/strong\u003e A tee or cross means cutting the rail at every post.

It is often used on long horizontal runs, because it saves cutting the rail at every upright. Either barrel can take the post, as long as each tube goes in the barrel that matches its size: the 48.3mm tube always goes in the large barrel and the 42.4mm tube always goes in the small one. The two centre lines are offset, so the tubes run side by side and not in the same plane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne fitting, minimum order 5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLarge barrel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48.3mm tube, 40mm nominal bore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSmall barrel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42.4mm tube, 32mm nominal bore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAngle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 degrees, offset side by side\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMalleable cast iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGalvanised\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFixing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo hex socket grub screws, one per barrel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLarge barrel height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e56mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistance between tube centres\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLarge ring diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e67mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSmall barrel height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e111mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 0.55 kg each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right crossover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure both tubes with a caliper.
