Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this elbow work with wooden handrails?
No, this fitting is designed exclusively for 40mm metal poles from the Handrails Direct range.
Can I use this for outdoor handrails?
The product is intended for indoor modular systems. Please check the product specifications for specific weather-resistance ratings if planning outdoor use.
Do I need special tools to install this?
No tools are required for the push-fit mechanism, though a hacksaw and file are recommended for sizing your poles correctly.
Is the grey finish powder-coated?
The Luddington Adjustable Elbow features a durable, consistent grey finish designed to match the professional standard of the Handrails Direct line.
How do I ensure the angle is locked in place?
The elbow is designed as a friction-based fitting; once positioned correctly, the internal tension keeps it secure for standard handrail use.
Troubleshooting
The fitting feels loose inside the pole
Ensure the fitting is fully inserted and check that the 40mm pole is free of internal debris that might prevent a flush connection.
Difficult to adjust the angle
Loosen the tension slightly by slightly pulling the components apart, adjust to the desired angle, then re-engage the friction fit.
Visible gap between the elbow and pole
Check that the pole end is cut perfectly square and remove any jagged edges from the cut using a metal file.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Luddington Adjustable Elbow, ensure both ends of your 40mm Handrails Direct poles are cut clean and free of burrs. Insert the elbow fittings into the hollow ends of the poles, ensuring the push-fit mechanism is fully engaged for a secure hold. To maintain the finish, wipe the fitting periodically with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the grey finish and expose the underlying material to potential corrosion. Always verify that the elbow is locked at the correct angle before finalizing the installation of your wall brackets.
