Fit confirmation is important: Ø38.1mm and Ø50.8mm identify the matching handrail tube outside diameter. Because the elbow inserts into the tube, please also provide the tube wall thickness or actual inside diameter before ordering.
Compact 90° Corner
The short body is practical for tight staircase and railing corners where a long-radius bend is unsuitable.
Clean Tube Transition
Insert-style ends help align the adjoining round tubes and keep the visible connection compact.
Architectural Surface
Mirror or satin polishing can be selected to coordinate with the finish of the handrail tube.
How to Select the Correct Elbow
A correct tube-to-elbow match reduces installation problems and helps the finished handrail maintain a consistent appearance. Confirm the following information before Winsco prepares a quotation or sample.
01
Confirm Tube OD
Select Ø38.1mm (1.5 inch) or Ø50.8mm (2 inch) according to the outside diameter of your round handrail tube.
02
Confirm Wall Thickness
Provide the tube wall thickness or measured inside diameter so the insert end can be matched correctly.
03
Select Grade & Finish
Choose SS201, SS304 or SS316 according to the installation environment and specify a mirror-polished or satin/brushed surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 38.1mm or 50.8mm size refer to the elbow insert?
No. These sizes normally refer to the outside diameter of the matching round handrail tube. The connecting end is reduced to fit inside the tube, so its final dimension must match the tube inside diameter.
What information is required for an accurate quotation?
Please provide the matching tube OD, tube wall thickness or inside diameter, stainless steel grade, surface finish, quantity and destination port. A tube sample or detailed drawing is helpful when the fit is critical.
How should I choose between SS201, SS304 and SS316?
SS201 is a cost-effective option for dry indoor decorative applications. SS304 is commonly selected for general architectural handrails, while SS316 provides better corrosion resistance for coastal, humid or more demanding environments. Final material selection should follow the project specification and local service conditions.
Can the surface match my stainless steel handrail tube?
Yes. Mirror-polished and satin/brushed finishes are available. Please state the required finish standard or send a reference sample so appearance can be confirmed before mass production.
How is this 90° elbow installed?
The reduced ends insert into compatible round tubes. The final fixing method, such as structural adhesive or welding, should follow the railing-system design and applicable local building requirements.
Can Winsco provide a sample before a bulk order?
Yes. Sample availability, fit requirements, cost and lead time can be confirmed after the complete tube specification is received.
