Description
A 304 stainless weldable 90 degree elbow for 42.4 x 2.0mm tube: a plain swept bend with square ends, made to be butt welded between two lengths of tube. It is the same 42.4mm outside and 2.0mm wall as the tube, so once welded and dressed the corner reads as one continuous satin rail with no sleeve or collar. Use it to turn a handrail, guard rail or frame through a right angle with a smooth sweep instead of a mitred joint. Satin 304 is the economical choice for indoor and sheltered work; for outdoor, coastal or pool-side rails choose the 316 version. The price shown is for one elbow, minimum order 5.
What you get
| Sold as | One elbow, minimum order 5 |
|---|---|
| Elbow | Swept 90 degree bend with plain square ends, 304 stainless, satin |
| Not included | The tube and weld filler |
Why choose this elbow
Seamless once welded. With no spigot or sleeve, the bend matches the tube exactly, so a welded and polished corner looks like the tube was bent on site.
A proper sweep, not a mitre. The smooth 90 degree bend is kinder to the hand on a handrail than a cut-and-welded mitre, and it is quicker to fit.
304 for indoors. 304 stainless is the standard grade for indoor handrails, office mezzanines, shop fit-outs and sheltered entrances, at a lower price than 316. Outdoors, near the sea or around pools, use the 316 elbow, which resists salt and chlorine much better.

Fitting
Cut the tube ends square and deburr them. Line the elbow up with each tube, tack it in place and check the angle, then TIG weld round each joint with 308L filler. Dress the welds back along the grain and pickle or passivate them so the joints keep the same corrosion resistance as the rest of the rail. Where the rail is part of guarding, it must be designed and fixed to suit the loads required.
Care
Wipe along the grain with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, then dry. Avoid chlorine bleach, wire wool and scouring pads, which can mark the satin finish and leave the steel open to staining.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one elbow?
Yes, one elbow. The minimum order is 5.
Does it push into the tube?
No. It has plain ends and is butt welded to the tube. For a push-in fit, use an elbow with spigots.
Can I use it outside?
For sheltered spots it is fine. By the sea, around pools or on exposed rails, choose the 316 weldable elbow linked above.
