Articulated horizontal connector for alu handrail 80*30 mm
Articulated connector for square balusters 16*16

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.

Main characteristics

Characteristic	Value
Material	Anodised aluminium
Use	Variable-angle horizontal connector
Compatible handrail section	80x30mm — Quadrum handrail
Finishes	Gloss black / Gloss stainless steel
Range	Quadrum only — not compatible with Ellipsis
Sold	Individually

Key points

✓ Variable angle — adapts to all angles without complex mitre cutting
✓ Compatible with MC Quadrum 80x30mm — exact dimensions of the range
✓ Consistent finishes — gloss black or gloss stainless steel identical to the Quadrum kit
✓ Sold individually — one connector per change of direction
✓ Exclusive to the Quadrum range — not interchangeable with Ellipsis

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.

Articulated connector for 16x16mm square balusters Quadrum range — variable angle connector between two square balusters. Gloss black or gloss stainless steel finishes. Compatible with WoodUp Quadrum range only. Sold per unit. 5 connectors per angle required (1 per baluster).

Articulated Connector for 16x16mm Square Balusters Quadrum Range – Variable Angle

This articulated connector allows two 16x16mm square balusters from the Quadrum range to be joined at a variable angle, for configurations where the balustrade changes direction. It is used in combination with the articulated horizontal handrail connector 80x30mm Articulated handrail connector MC Quadrum 80x30mm — together, they manage the complete angle of the balustrade across its full height. Each balustrade angle requires 5 baluster connectors (one per horizontal baluster) and 1 handrail connector.

Available in gloss black and gloss stainless steel finishes, this connector maintains the visual consistency of the Quadrum installation. It is exclusively compatible with the 16x16mm square balusters of the Quadrum range — not interchangeable with the Ø16mm round balusters of the Ellipsis range, which require their own articulated connectors Articulated connector for Ø16mm round balusters Ellipsis.

Key points

✓ Variable angle — adapts to all direction changes without complex cutting
✓ 16x16mm Quadrum — exact section of WoodUp square balusters
✓ 5 connectors per angle — one per horizontal baluster of the balustrade
✓ To be combined with Articulated handrail connector MC Quadrum 80x30mm — MC 80x30mm connector to manage the complete angle
✓ Consistent finishes — gloss black or gloss stainless steel identical to the Quadrum kit
✓ Exclusive to the Quadrum range — not compatible with Ellipsis (Ø16mm round balusters)

Installation tips

Order this connector in batches of 5 units per angle. Set the angle of each connector identically before insertion — use a protractor or adjustable square to measure the exact angle of your configuration. Insert the baluster ends into the connectors without tightening, check the alignment of all balusters on both sections of the balustrade, then tighten progressively post by post. Always combine with the handrail connector Articulated handrail connector MC Quadrum 80x30mm for the same angle at the top of the balustrade.

Maintenance and protection

Clean with soapy water. Check the tightening of the articulated mechanism annually — thermal variations outdoors can slightly loosen the angle locking screws. Rinse with fresh water in coastal environments to prevent salt deposits in the mechanism.

Frequently asked questions

Is this connector compatible with the Ø16mm round balusters of the Ellipsis range?

No. This connector is designed for the 16x16mm square balusters of the Quadrum range. The Ø16mm round balusters of the Ellipsis range have a different profile and require specific Ellipsis articulated connectors Articulated connector for Ø16mm round balusters Ellipsis. The two connectors have different internal housings — they are not interchangeable even if the nominal dimensions appear similar.

How many connectors should be ordered for a Quadrum balustrade at a 90° angle?

For a 90° angle: 5 articulated connectors for 16x16mm square balusters Articulated connector for 16x16mm square balusters Quadrum + 1 articulated horizontal handrail connector 80x30mm Articulated handrail connector MC Quadrum 80x30mm. If your balustrade has multiple angles (L-shape, U-shape), multiply these quantities by the number of angles. Order in one go to ensure batch and finish consistency.

Can this articulated connector handle angles less than 90°?

The articulated mechanism covers common balustrade angles (approximately 60° to 120°). For very acute or very obtuse angles outside this range, contact WoodUp before ordering to confirm compatibility. Non-standard angles may require specific adaptation solutions.

Should this connector always be combined with the handrail connector Articulated handrail connector MC Quadrum 80x30mm?

Yes, in all angle situations. A change of direction in the balustrade requires managing the angle on all 5 balusters and on the handrail simultaneously. Ordering only the baluster connectors without the handrail connector makes it impossible to complete the installation correctly. Always order both accessories together for each angle.
