Description
This bracket stands out because it’s purpose-designed for everyday safety needs. Made from hot-dip galvanised iron to BS EN ISO 1461 standards, it shrugs off rust whether used indoors or out. The stainless steel grub screw securely fastens the 48.3mm tube, resisting vibration and tampering in busy environments. Installation is simple: position the bracket, mark the holes, drill 5mm x 160mm holes in masonry, insert M6 Thunderbolt anchors (not included), tighten the bolts, slide in your tube, and secure with the grub screw. It’s lightweight, affordable, and ideal for non-structural handrail or light support applications—saving you time and hassle compared to welding or custom fabrication.

Safety and compliance
Safety comes first with the 143-4. The hot-dip galvanising meets BS EN ISO 1461, offering proven protection against rust in damp or outdoor conditions. The stainless grub screw ensures a reliable hold that won’t loosen over time. Always space brackets 1.2–1.5m apart for standard handrails (closer in busy or high-traffic spots), and use appropriate masonry anchors into solid surfaces. This fitting is strictly for handrail and non-structural use—never as a load-bearing base or structural anchor. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified engineer or installer to ensure your setup meets local building regulations and safety standards. Done right, it delivers peace of mind for years.
