Ellipsis Aluminium Handrail Connector – Straight Joint Section 100x30mm
This connector provides a straight-line joint between two sections of the Ellipsis range handrail (100x30mm rounded profile). It is used at each connection between modules — between a starter kit and an extension kit, or between two extension kits — to ensure continuity of the handrail without visual interruption. Available in gloss black and gloss stainless steel finishes, it maintains the consistency of the installation.
Sold individually, this connector should be ordered at the same time as the extension kits — each straight joint between two modules requires 1 handrail connector and 5 baluster connectors Baluster connectors Ø16mm Ellipsis. For joints with a change of direction, replace this straight connector with the articulated handrail connector for Ellipsis.

Installation tips
Insert the ends of the two handrail sections into the connector and tighten as indicated. Order this connector at the same time as your extension kits to avoid any delay — each straight joint between modules requires 1 handrail connector + 5 baluster connectors. For best results, cut the handrail ends perpendicularly before inserting them into the connector.
Frequently asked questions
Is this connector compatible with the Quadrum 80x30mm handrail?
No. This connector is designed for the Ellipsis handrail with a 100x30mm rounded profile. The Quadrum handrail is 80x30mm with a square profile — the two connectors are different and not interchangeable. For the Quadrum range, order the articulated horizontal MC connector 80x30mm Articulated MC Quadrum connector 80x30mm.
For an L-shaped balustrade with 2 Ellipsis modules, which accessories should I order?
For an L-shaped balustrade (straight joint between the two modules, then an angle): at the straight joint between modules → 1 handrail connector Ellipsis handrail connector + 5 baluster connectors Baluster connectors Ø16mm Ellipsis. At the angle → 1 articulated handrail connector + 5 articulated baluster connectors. Total: 2 distinct types of accessories depending on whether the joint is straight or angular.
How can I avoid a visible gap between the two handrail sections at the connector?
Cut the ends of the handrail sections perpendicularly and cleanly with a hacksaw. Deburr the edges with a fine file. The two cut faces must be in direct contact inside the connector — any residual gap is often due to a non-perpendicular cut. The connector is designed for a butt insertion with no gap if the cuts are clean.
Does this connector withstand the demands of an outdoor handrail?
Yes. Anodised aluminium resists corrosion, UV rays, and thermal variations. Outdoors, check tightness annually — repeated thermal expansion may slightly loosen the assembly screws over time.
