Articulated Handrail Connector for the Ellipsis Range – Variable Angle Aluminium Junction

This articulated connector joins two sections of Ellipsis handrail at a variable angle, for configurations where the balustrade changes direction — landing angle, mezzanine return, L-shaped staircase. It is designed specifically for the rounded-profile handrail of the WoodUp Ellipsis range (Ø50mm section) and is not compatible with the Quadrum range. Available in gloss black and gloss stainless steel finishes, it ensures visual continuity throughout the installation.

Sold individually, it is used at every change of direction of the handrail. For right angles (90°) or non-standard variable angles, this articulated connector is the simplest solution — it avoids having to mitre-cut the ends and weld or glue the joints.

Key points

✓ Variable angle — adapts to all direction changes without mitre cutting
✓ Compatible with Ellipsis Ø50mm handrail — clips on without modification

✓ Sold individually — order as many as direction changes required
✓ Exclusive to the Ellipsis range — not interchangeable with the Quadrum range

Installation advice

Position the articulated connector at the desired angle between the two handrail sections. Adjust the angle before tightening the locking mechanism — once tightened, the connector holds the angle permanently. Then insert the ends of the handrail sections into the connector's sockets and fix according to the manufacturer's instructions. This connector works in tandem with the round rail articulated connectors Articulated connector for Ø16mm Ellipsis rails to ensure a consistent angle across the full height of the balustrade.

Maintenance and protection

Clean with soapy water. Check the tightness of the locking mechanism annually — a poorly tightened articulated connector can create play in the handrail under load. For outdoor use, rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt (seaside, de-icing) to prevent mineral deposits on the articulation mechanism.

Frequently asked questions

Is this articulated connector compatible with the WoodUp Quadrum range?

No. This connector is designed for the Ellipsis handrail with a rounded Ø50mm profile. The Quadrum range uses an 80x30mm section handrail — the connectors are different. For the Quadrum range, order the articulated horizontal handrail connector for 80x30mm handrails: Articulated MC Quadrum 80x30mm connector.

How many articulated connectors should I order for a U-shaped balustrade?

A U-shaped balustrade (three sides) requires 2 articulated handrail connectors (one for each 90° angle) and 2 sets of articulated rail connectors Articulated connector for Ø16mm Ellipsis rails — a set of 5 connectors per angle, totalling 10 rail connectors. Fixings are included with these accessories.

Can the articulated connector handle angles under 90° (raking stair balustrade)?

This connector is designed for horizontal direction changes on landings and mezzanines. For a raking stair balustrade, the incline of the balustrade requires different specific accessories. Consult WoodUp before ordering to confirm compatibility with your staircase configuration.

Should the articulated handrail connector be ordered at the same time as the rail connectors?

Yes, always. A direction change on an Ellipsis balustrade means managing the angle on all 5 rails AND on the handrail simultaneously. Always order both accessories together for each angle in your configuration.
