Description
The corner piece for a stainless post-and-rail balustrade. This support plugs into the top of a 48.3mm corner post and carries a 48.3mm handrail round a 90° corner on its bent saddle. It is satin 316 marine-grade stainless steel, so it matches the posts and rail and suits outdoor and coastal sites. The price shown is for one support.
Why use a tube to tube support
A floating handrail. The slim 14mm stem lifts the rail 80.5mm above the post, so the handrail reads as one clean line round the corner.
No welding. The plug pushes into the post and the rail screws to the saddle, so a stainless balustrade can be built on site without hot work.
Marine-grade steel. 316 stainless suits outdoor terraces, balconies and coastal sites.
Where it is used
Corners of glass and post-and-rail balustrades on terraces, balconies, mezzanines, atriums and landings; seafront and riverside walkways; corners of ramp handrails at public buildings.

Check your post wall thickness
The plug is sized for a 48.3 x 2.6mm post. Measure the inside of your post: 43.1mm means this one fits. For 48.3 x 2.0mm posts, which are 44.3mm inside, use the 90° support for 48.3 x 2.0mm posts. The 316 tube we sell is 2.0mm wall.
How many do you need?
One for each 90° corner post. Straight run posts take a straight tube to tube support.
Matching parts
- Straight runs, 2.6mm wall posts: straight support
- 2.0mm wall posts: 90° support and straight support
- Handrail and posts: 316 stainless tube 48.3 x 2.0mm, 3m
- Fixing the plug: high strength adhesive for stainless fittings
- Indoors on a budget: 304 90° support
Fitting
Cut the corner post square and deburr the inside. Push the plug fully into the post so the collar sits on the post top, bonding it with stainless fitting adhesive if you want it permanent. Set the saddle so its two arms follow the two rail runs, lay the handrail mitred or bent round the corner, then screw up through the saddle holes into the rail.
Care
Clean the stainless after installation and wash it down regularly, more often near the coast. Remove any brown tea staining with a mild acid cleaner such as white vinegar, or a stainless steel cleaner, on a microfibre cloth.
