How does it work?

Post Type
3. Customise Your
Rails + Tube Size
4. Pair With Base Posts and/or Accessories
Tubeclamp offers a wide range of convenient and versatile Railing Kits that provide an unmatched solution for constructing strong and scalable hand railings, barriers, or guardrails. These modular kits eliminate the need for specialized tools or complex welding. The fittings easily slide onto the tube and are securely fastened using the provided setscrews, which can be tightened with either an Allen Key or Hexbit Drillbit.
To get started with your railing project, begin by selecting the gradient/slope option that best suits your specific site requirements. Then, personalize your kit by choosing the desired Tube Size, the type of post you need (Intermediate, End, Corner, or T Junction), and the number of rails you'll require. Please note that not all options are available for every combination of types and fittings.
Once you have made these selections, complement your kit by choosing from our range of optional extras. These include Vertical Stanchion Posts with customizable Base Fittings (screws included), Fittings for installing Kickplates, Tubebends like J Bends, and options for horizontal Tube to connect your posts.
All our Fittings and Tubes are crafted from galvanized steel, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity. If desired, we also offer powder coating options upon request.
Please keep in mind that our Railing Kits include steel Tube Fittings and Setscrews only. Tube for stanchions and horizontal posts are sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tubeclamp Structural Fittings have been designed and tested to comply with the requirements of Australian Standards AS 1657:2018 for handrails. Our products are suitable for use in temporary and/or permanent structures.
For more information please refer to the Tubeclamp product guidelines found here.
No, due to the complexity of Bases and fixing requirements our Handrail Fitting Kits do not include Bases or Vertical Posts.
However we do offer Base Post Kits to complement your Handrailing Kits which contain your choice of Base as well as Vertical Tube Posts and Masonry Screws for fixing.
Our Handrail Fittings and Tube are made from Hot Dipped Galvanised Steel making them strong and long lasting in most environments. Our products are weather resistant and can be used outdoors for years without issue.
It is important to understand that all steel products will eventually corrode when exposed to outdoor conditions, particularly in regions with high moisture or persistant contact with salt water.
The distinction between the two tube sizes is primarily determined by the intended application and the environment in which the handrail is being constructed.
C42 is suitable for the majority of residential or indoor commercial purposes. Its smaller size makes it lighter (ideal for wall mounting) and easier to grip for smaller hands. However, this size may bend more when installed with wider spaced posts. Disability handrails are typically constructed using C42 sized Fittings and Tube.
D48 Fittings and Tube are sturdier and more rigid, allowing support posts to be positioned further apart. They are generally more resistant to external forces and wear. This handrail size is commonly utilized in car parks, commercial areas, or industrial settings.
The maximum spacing for handrails is up to 2 meters, and 1.5m for stairs (up 6 steps apart). However we recommend reducing the distance between posts to increase the regidity and strength of your handrail.
The maximum distance between vertical posts for Disability handrailings should be no large than 1.5m.
The strength of a handrail typically increases with the number of horizontal rails it has, but the number of rails needed can vary depending on the specific use.
Single-rail handrails are commonly used in residential properties to provide adequate support for walking on ramps and stairs.
In residential, commercial, and industrial settings, two-rail handrails are the most popular choice due to their balance of strength and cost effectiveness. They are also ideal for ensuring accessibility for children and individuals in wheelchairs.
Triple-rail handrails are typically found in pedestrian walkways or roadside barriers in high traffic areas, providing additional protection and safety measures.
Typically we recommend a handrail has a height between 900mm and 1100mm, ideally this height should be consistant across the entire handrail.
Disability handrails should be no shorter than 865mm, nor taller than 1000mm.
If mid-rails are installed then the inside distance between the top-rail and mid-rail should be no more than 450mm apart. The distance between the mid-rail and the ground should also be no more than 560mm apart.
Handrails for stairs are the same height as regular handrails relative to the step height rather than to the ground.
Industrial handrails are designed to provide maximum strength and do not require a smooth top-rail. This type of handrail is best suited to low foot traffic industrial areas such as factories.
Disability handrails are required by Australia standards to contain a smooth top-rail (with no produding elements are holes where little fingers may get caught) with extensions of more than 300mm on both ends.
Industrial handrails do not require toe-boards while Disability railings do (when a wall is not present).
Disability handrails must be between 865mm to 1000mm tall.
