Bend – Adjustable Bend Vertical – Slotted Rectangular – 50 x 25mm

The 50 x 25mm Rectangular Slotted Adjustable Bend Vertical is the staircase transition fitting for rectangular slotted top rail systems. Its vertical hinge adjusts up and down on an upright plane to match the exact pitch of any staircase, allowing the bold, flat-top rectangular rail to follow the rake cleanly from landing to staircase — or staircase to landing — without any site cutting or welding.

The wide profile of the rectangular fitting makes the transition point visually prominent, which works in its favour: a well-executed transition with this fitting creates a confident, architectural detail that signals quality and attention to finish. It is particularly effective on feature staircases in open-plan homes where the balustrade is a prominent design element and the transition between horizontal and raking runs is clearly visible from the living area.

The glass slot terminates at the fitting on both sides of the transition.

Which Grade Should I Choose?

Grade 304 is strong and reliable, suited to internal applications and external use in non-coastal, non-corrosive environments — ideal for inland areas such as Johannesburg, Pretoria, and most non-coastal suburbs.

Grade 316 (Marine Grade) offers superior corrosion resistance and is the essential choice for coastal properties, poolside installations, and any environment exposed to salt air, moisture, or chemicals. If you are in Cape Town, the Winelands, Durban, or any coastal area, Grade 316 is strongly recommended.

Installation Note

Always match your fitting grade and finish to your slotted tubing for a consistent, professional result. When fitting against glass panels, use neutral-cure silicone or clear rubber gaskets — avoid acetoxy (acid-cure) silicone as it can stain stainless steel.
