Connector for Ø16mm Aluminium Rails – Straight Junction Ellipsis Range

This connector for Ø16mm round rails provides a straight-line junction between two rail sections in an Ellipsis range balustrade. It is used at each junction between modules (between a starter kit and an extension kit, or between two extension kits) to assemble the 5 horizontal rails in continuity. Available in gloss black and gloss stainless steel finishes, it maintains the visual consistency of the whole assembly.

Sold per unit, it should be ordered in batches of 5 per junction — one connector per rail. For junctions with a change of direction, use the articulated rail connector instead of this straight connector.

Key points

✓ Straight junction — for inline connections between Ellipsis modules
✓ Ø16mm compatible with Ellipsis — exact dimensions of WoodUp round rails
✓ 5 connectors per junction — one per horizontal rail
✓ Consistent finishes — gloss black or gloss stainless steel
✓ For corners: use Articulated connector for Ø16mm rails Ellipsis — articulated connector instead of this straight connector

Installation advice

Order 5 connectors per straight junction between modules. Insert each rail end into the connector and tighten according to the manufacturer's instructions. For a perfectly aligned junction, start by inserting all rails into their connectors without tightening, check the horizontal alignment along the entire length, then tighten progressively from post to post.

Frequently asked questions

How many rail connectors are needed to connect 3 Ellipsis modules?

3 modules (1 starter kit + 2 extension kits) include 2 junctions — therefore 10 rail connectors (5 per junction) and 2 handrail connectors Ellipsis handrail connector are required. Remember to order all these accessories at the same time as the kits to avoid construction delays.

Can this connector be used mid-length on a rail to extend it?

Yes, technically. If a rail is too short to reach the next post, a connector can join two sections side by side. However, this is not the standard configuration — ensure the connector is properly positioned on a support or post to avoid mid-span deflection of the rail.

What is the difference between the straight connector Connector for Ø16mm rails Ellipsis and the articulated connector?

The Connector for Ø16mm rails Ellipsis provides a straight-line junction (180° angle). The articulated connector allows a variable angle for changes of direction. For a straight-line installation, use the Connector for Ø16mm rails Ellipsis. For any angle other than 180°, use the Articulated connector for Ø16mm rails Ellipsis.

Is this connector visible once the rails are in place?

The connector is visible between the two rail sections. In gloss black or gloss stainless steel, it integrates naturally into the rail line. To minimise visibility, position the junction at a post rather than mid-span — the support naturally frames the assembly.

Is this straight connector suitable for a rail in a corner?

No. For a corner (change of direction), use the articulated rail connector. This connector is exclusively designed for straight-line junctions (180° angle). A straight connector used on a corner would cause the rails to bend and damage the post supports.
