Where would you normally use this stainless steel handrail fitting?
As part of a stainless steel balustrade. The joiner will allow you to join 2 lengths of tube together.
What is it made out of?
316 grade Stainless Steel in a Mirror finish.
Can it be used for exterior application?
As it is 316 grade Stainless Steel, it is more than suitable for use outside.
How do you fix it to the stainless steel tube?
For the DIY market you can use a suitable glue (found on our online shop). For the professional fabricator, you can weld and polish to create a seamless finish.
How should you finish it?
If you are happy with a Mirror finish, then the product does not need to be touched up in any way.
If though you would like a Satin finish, try using our non-woven web pad that will allow you to fairly easily remove the current high polished finish that it has.
Without regular cleaning and maintenance discolouration of the surface of the stainless steel by corrosion (tea staining) can occur.
