Product Specifications
Product Description
The Weldable Elbow – Self Colour is a 90-degree fitting designed for use with BS1387 handrail tubing, allowing for a clean, welded directional change in fabricated steel systems. Manufactured with precision and left in a raw, uncoated state, this elbow is ideal for welding and post-treatment finishes such as galvanising or painting.
This specific weldable elbow features a 165.1mm outer diameter and a 150mm nominal bore, offering a solid match for heavy-duty steel tubing in railings, barriers, and general structural applications. All elbows are tested to EN ISO 1461 standards, ensuring quality and consistency across all sizes.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor fabrication projects, these weldable elbows are a reliable choice where strength, weldability, and design flexibility are needed.

FAQ
What does 'self colour' mean on this Weldable Elbow?
Self colour means the elbow is supplied in untreated, raw steel. This allows for clean welding with no coating interference and is ideal if the entire structure will be galvanised or painted after fabrication.
Can I weld this elbow to galvanised tubing?
Yes. While the elbow itself is not galvanised, it is fully compatible with BS1387 galvanised tube. Welding is typically followed by finishing the whole assembly with paint or hot-dip galvanising for consistent corrosion protection.
Is this Weldable Elbow suitable for pressure systems?
These elbows are primarily intended for use in structural or handrail applications. For pressurised systems, we recommend fittings rated and certified specifically for pressure containment.
Do you supply other sizes of Weldable Elbows?
Yes. We stock a full range of weldable elbows in various nominal bores and diameters. Contact us or browse the full range to find the size you need.
Is this elbow certified or tested?
Yes, it is tested to EN ISO 1461 standards, ensuring a consistent level of quality suitable for general structural use.
