Description
Where would you normally use this stainless steel handrail fitting?
When needing to create a support post from 38.1 round stainless tube, this base plate can be glued inside the bottom of the tube (providing it is 1.6mm wall thickness).
What is it made out of?
316 grade Stainless Steel in a Mirror finish.
Can it be used for exterior applications?
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?
A suitable glue will do (found on our online shop). Welding is not necessary.
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.
