About key clamp handrails

A key clamp handrail is built from galvanised steel tube and malleable iron fittings, locked together with grub screws tightened by an Allen key. No welding, threading or drilling is needed.

Choosing a tube size

  • 42.4mm (C42): the usual choice for stair, ramp and walkway handrails.
  • 48.3mm (D48): heavier duty safety barriers, guardrails and edge protection.
  • 33.7mm (B34) and 26.9mm (A27): lighter rails, infill and frames.
