90° stainless steel railing base - Stable deck mounting with rectangular base

The 90° stainless steel (AISI 316) railing base with a rectangular shape is the professional solution for attaching railing tubes, handrails, and supports to the deck. Its 90° angle provides optimal stability and it is available for either bolting or welding.

Product features

• Stainless steel 1.4401 (AISI 316) - Highest corrosion resistance
• 90° angle - Right-angle deck mounting
• Rectangular base - Stable mounting surface for secure attachment
• Two pipe sizes - For 22mm and 25mm pipe diameters
• Two mounting options - for screwing or welding.
• Saltwater resistant - Ideal for continuous maritime use

Available versions

Explanation of measurement:
La = Outer length | LL = Perforated strip length | Ba = Outer width | BL = Perforated strip width

Application areas

• railing tubes and handrails
• Stern and bow baskets (pushpit/pulpit)
• Supports for bimini tops and sunshades
• Davits and cranes
• Antenna masts and flagpoles
• All vertical pipe connections on deck

Mounting methods

Screw-on (EK97040, EK97041):

• Easy assembly with screws
• Ideal for GRP decks and wooden decks
• Disassemblable if required
• No welding required
• Perfect for retrofitting

Welding (EK97125):

• Permanent, extremely stable connection
• Ideal for steel decks and aluminium structures
• Maximum load capacity

• No visible screws

Material advantage of stainless steel 1.4401 (AISI 316)

Stainless steel 1.4401 (also known as AISI 316 or V4A) offers optimal properties for maritime use:

• Molybdenum-containing - Highest corrosion resistance
• Saltwater resistant - Suitable for continuous use in aggressive environments
• UV-resistant - No embrittlement from sunlight
• Highly durable - even under heavy mechanical stress
• Maintenance-free - No care or after-treatment required

Advantages of the rectangular base

• Larger contact area - Better load distribution on the deck
• More attachment points - Increased stability through multiple screws
• Twist-proof - Rectangular shape prevents rotation
• Stable - Optimal power transmission under lateral loads

Assembly instructions

For screw mounting:

• Reinforce the deck at the mounting point (e.g. with a plywood sheet under the deck)
• Drill through holes
• Apply sealant to base
• Secure with stainless steel screws and washers
• Secure nuts below deck with locknuts

For welding assembly:

• Clean and degrease the surface
• Position and align the railing foot
• Weld all around (TIG welding recommended)
• Rework and polish the weld seam

Size selection

22mm tube diameter: For lighter constructions, handrails and smaller railing tubes.

25mm tube diameter: Standard for most railing tubes, supports and stable constructions.

Important: Measure the outer diameter of your pipes to choose the correct size.

Ideal for

• Boat builders for new builds and conversions
• Boat owners for retrofitting
• Professional shipyards
• Repair and maintenance of railing systems
• DIY projects on boats
• All applications with 90° deck mounting
