Description

Where would you normally use this stainless steel handrail fitting?
When needing to create a support post from 50mm square stainless tube, this base plate can be glued inside the bottom of the tube (providing it is 1.5mm 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 you would like a Satin finish, try using our non-woven web pad IF118X that will allow you to fairly easily remove the current high polished finish. Alternatively, this product can be paired with a square satin cover plate SSF106-S6 (shown in image 3) to achieve this effect.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Without regular cleaning and maintenance discolouration of the surface of the stainless steel by corrosion (tea staining) can occur.

How to reduce the risk of tea staining

  • Absence of corrosives – especially salt, chlorine, cleaning acids etc.
  • Atmospheric Conditions – lower temperatures and low humidity are better.
  • Surface orientation – Open exposure to rain washing is better
  • Surface Finish – In general a smoother finish is better. where practical mirror polish finish may perform better than a brushed finish.
  • Chemical cleanliness or passivation of the surface improves corrosion resistance
  • Appropriate grade selection for conditions
  • Regular Maintenance to limit the accumulation of corrosives
