Product Information
Full details
The Loxley Adjustable Elbow by Handrails Direct is an essential component for DIYers and contractors looking to create seamless, continuous handrail runs around corners or along staircases. Designed specifically for the 40mm Loxley modular system, this bronze-finished connector allows for precise angle adjustments, ensuring your handrail setup fits complex spatial layouts perfectly. While it offers a clean, professional aesthetic and simple installation, it is important to note that this component is strictly for connecting railing sections and cannot be used as a structural anchor point for wall mounting.

FAQs
Can this elbow support weight if mounted to the wall?
No, this fitting is not designed to be wall-mounted. It is intended only to join two pieces of handrail together.
Is this compatible with wooden handrails?
No, this fitting is specifically engineered for 40mm metal tubing within the Loxley system.
Does it come with mounting screws?
The Loxley Adjustable Elbow uses a push-fit design, so no screws are required for the connection between the elbow and the pipes.
How do I determine if my angle is compatible?
The elbow is designed for standard corner and stair transitions; if your angle is extreme, test the fitment of the elbow before finalizing your railing cuts.
Can I use this outdoors?
While the finish is durable, it is best to check the specific weather-resistance ratings for the Loxley bronze range before exterior installation.
Troubleshooting
Elbow feels loose after installation
Ensure the railing poles are cut perfectly square and fully inserted into the elbow joint; check that no debris is inside the tubing.
Fitting will not slide into the pipe
Check the pipe end for burrs or deformations caused by cutting; use a file to smooth the inner edge of the railing tube.
Finish looks dull or dusty
Wipe with a clean microfiber cloth; avoid acidic cleaners that can tarnish the bronze aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is achieved by sliding the elbow ends into your 40mm Handrails Direct metal tubing. Because the system relies on a push-fit mechanism, ensure that the cut ends of your railing are deburred and clean before insertion to prevent scratching the interior or preventing a flush fit. To maintain the bronze finish, clean periodically with a soft, damp cloth and avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical solvents, which may strip the protective coating. Always verify that the elbow is fully seated into the poles to ensure the stability of the entire railing run. Remember, use dedicated wall brackets for any points where the railing needs to be secured to a wall structure.
