1 handrail connector

5 rail connectors

Anodised aluminium Ellipsis range handrail connector — straight joint between two Ellipsis handrail sections (section 100x30mm). Finishes: gloss black or gloss stainless steel. Compatible with the WoodUp Ellipsis range. Sold individually. For straight in-line joints between modules.

Ellipsis Handrail Connector Aluminium – Straight Junction 100x30mm Section

This connector provides the straight in-line junction between two sections of handrail from the Ellipsis range (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 junction between two modules requires 1 handrail connector and 5 rail connectors Connector Ø16mm Ellipsis rails. For junctions with a change of direction, replace this straight connector with the Ellipsis articulated handrail connector.

Key features

Feature	Value
Material	Anodised aluminium
Compatible handrail section	100x30mm — Ellipsis rounded-profile handrail
Use	Straight junction between two handrail sections
Finishes	Gloss black / Gloss stainless steel
Range	Ellipsis only — not compatible with Quadrum (80x30mm)
Sold	Sold individually
Quantity per junction	1 connector per straight junction between modules

Key points

✓ Straight junction — in-line connection between Ellipsis modules
✓ 100x30mm section — compatible with WoodUp Ellipsis rounded-profile handrail
✓ 1 connector per junction — to be used with 5 rail connectors Connector Ø16mm Ellipsis rails
✓ Consistent finishes — gloss black or gloss stainless steel
✓ Not compatible with Quadrum — the Quadrum handrail is 80x30mm, a different section

Installation advice

Insert the ends of the two handrail sections into the connector and tighten according to the instructions. Order this connector at the same time as your extension kits to avoid any delay — each straight junction between modules requires 1 handrail connector + 5 rail 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 handrail connector MC 80x30mm Articulated handrail connector Quadrum MC 80x30mm.

For an L-shaped balustrade with 2 Ellipsis modules, what accessories should I order?

For an L-shaped balustrade (straight junction between the two modules, then an angle): at the straight junction between modules → 1 handrail connector Ellipsis handrail connector + 5 rail connectors Connector Ø16mm Ellipsis rails. At the angle → 1 articulated handrail connector + 5 articulated rail connectors. Total: 2 distinct types of accessories depending on whether the junction is straight or angled.

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 using a hacksaw. Deburr the edges with a fine file. Both cut faces must be in direct contact inside the connector — any residual gap is usually due to a non-perpendicular cut. The connector is designed for butt insertion without any gap if the cuts are clean.

Does this connector withstand the stresses of an outdoor handrail?

Yes. Anodised aluminium resists corrosion, UV and thermal variations. Outdoors, check the tightness annually — repeated thermal expansion may slightly loosen the assembly screws over time.

Usage: Interior and Exterior

Connector for Ø16mm aluminium rails Ellipsis range — joins two Ø16mm round rails end to end or on a post in a straight line. Finishes: gloss black or gloss stainless steel. Compatible with WoodUp Ellipsis range. Sold per unit. Not compatible with Quadrum range.

Connector for Ø16mm Aluminium Rails – Straight Junction Ellipsis Range

This connector for Ø16mm round rails ensures 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 installation.

Sold individually, 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.

Main features

Characteristic	Value
Material	Anodised aluminium
Compatible rail diameter	Ø16mm — Ellipsis range
Use	Straight junction between two rails end to end
Finishes	Gloss black / Gloss stainless steel
Range	Ellipsis only — not compatible with Quadrum
Sold	Sold individually
Quantity per junction	5 connectors per junction (1 per rail)

Key points

✓ Straight junction — for in-line 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 angles: use Articulated connector for Ø16mm rails Ellipsis — articulated connector instead of this straight connector

Installation tips

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 horizontal alignment along the entire length, then tighten progressively from post to post.

Frequently asked questions

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

3 modules (1 starter kit + 2 extension kits) include 2 junctions — you therefore need 10 rail connectors (5 per junction) and 2 handrail connectors Ellipsis MC connector. 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 bending of the rail.

What is the difference between the straight connector Ø16mm Ellipsis rail connector and the articulated connector?

The Ø16mm Ellipsis rail connector ensures a straight-line junction (180° angle). The articulated connector allows a variable angle for changes of direction. For a straight-line installation, use the Ø16mm Ellipsis rail connector. 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 blends naturally into the line of the rails. To minimise visibility, position the junction at a post rather than mid-span — the support naturally frames the assembly.

Does this straight connector fit a rail at an angle?

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