The 2 Hole Round Base is a stainless steel handrail post base fitting featuring a flat, square-profile plate with a large central circular aperture and two fixing holes positioned symmetrically on opposite sides of the central bore. As clearly shown in the image, the fitting presents a distinctly square flat plate, not circular, as the name might suggest, with the large round central aperture dominating the face of the plate, and two countersunk or clearance fixing holes visible at the top and bottom of the plate, one on each side of the central bore along the vertical axis. The plate face is smooth and flat with a consistent satin finish across its entire surface, and the edges of the central aperture are cleanly machined to accept the tube post outside diameter.
Supplied in Satin Finish and currently available in 50.8mm tube outside diameter, the 2-hole round base is designed to suit the 50.8mm round handrail tube, one of the most widely specified tube diameters in commercial and architectural handrail and balustrade systems. The large central aperture accepts the tube post, which passes through or seats into the base plate for welding or mechanical fixing before installation on the floor or mounting surface.
The two fixing holes positioned symmetrically on opposite sides of the central bore create a balanced, twin-bolt fixing pattern that provides effective resistance to the overturning bending moment generated when the handrail post is subject to lateral loading. The two anchor points spaced apart across the plate on opposite sides of the post centreline develop a moment couple that resists post rotation and tipping under applied handrail loads, providing greater structural stability than a single central fixing while maintaining a compact, minimal-profile base footprint. The square plate profile combined with the large round central aperture creates a distinctive, contemporary appearance at the post base that suits modern architectural handrail and balustrade installations. The satin finish is easy to clean and maintain throughout the service life of the installation.
