Articulated horizontal connector for alu handrail 80*30 mm
Articulated horizontal connector for 80x30mm aluminium handrail — variable-angle junction between Quadrum range handrail sections. Finishes: gloss black or gloss stainless steel. Compatible with WoodUp Quadrum 80x30mm handrail. Sold individually. Not compatible with the Ellipsis range.
Articulated Horizontal Connector for 80x30mm Aluminium Handrail – Quadrum Range
This articulated horizontal connector joins two sections of 80x30mm aluminium handrail from the Quadrum range at a variable angle. It is used at each horizontal change of direction in the balustrade — landing angle, angle return, L-shaped or U-shaped configuration. Compatible exclusively with the Quadrum handrail of section 80x30mm, it is available in gloss black and gloss stainless steel finishes to integrate seamlessly with the existing installation.
Sold individually, this connector is fitted without welding or complex cutting. It eliminates the need to cut handrail ends at a precise mitre for each angle — the articulated mechanism absorbs angular tolerances and ensures a clean finish even on non-standard angles.

Installation tips
Adjust the angle of the connector before inserting it onto the handrail ends. Measure your configuration's angle precisely using a protractor or adjustable square. Tighten the articulation mechanism once the angle is confirmed — the connector then holds the angle rigidly. This connector is used in combination with the square baluster articulated connectors Articulated connector for 16x16mm square balusters Quadrum to manage the full angle across the entire height of the balustrade.
Maintenance and protection
Clean with soapy water. Check tightening annually. Rinse with fresh water in marine environments or where de-icing salt is used, to prevent mineral deposits in the articulation mechanism.
Frequently asked questions
Is this connector compatible with the Ellipsis Ø50mm handrail?
No. This connector is designed for the Quadrum handrail with an 80x30mm section. The Ellipsis section (round profile Ø50mm) is different — the two connectors are not interchangeable. For the Ellipsis range, order the Ellipsis handrail articulated connector.
How many handrail connectors are needed for an L-shaped balustrade?
An L-shaped balustrade (two sides with a 90° angle) requires 1 articulated horizontal handrail connector Articulated connector MC Quadrum 80x30mm and 5 articulated square baluster connectors Articulated connector for 16x16mm square balusters Quadrum to cover the 5 balusters at the angle. Order both accessories at the same time to ensure finish consistency.
Does this connector handle both interior and exterior angles?
Yes. The articulated mechanism accommodates both re-entrant angles (interior, < 180°) and salient angles (exterior,> 180°) within the limits of the joint's mechanical range of motion. Check your exact angle before ordering if your configuration is atypical (very acute or very obtuse angles).
Can this connector be used for a 180° angle return (straight junction)?
No. For a straight junction between two sections of Quadrum handrail in line, use a straight connector designed for that purpose — not this articulated connector designed for angles. Always check whether your junction is straight or angled before ordering the correct accessory.
