The 25mm Stainless Steel Centre Brackets serve as critical mid-span supports for 25mm round tubes, solving the common problem of sagging in long installations (1.2m+). Crafted from 304 stainless steel with reinforced double welds at stress points, these brackets meet ASTM A815 Class WP-WX standards and deliver a 77 lbs (35 kg) load capacity—enough to support heavy winter coats, kitchen pots, or industrial tools.

Unlike flimsy plastic brackets that bend under weight, the 2mm-thick steel gauge maintains structural integrity for 15+ years. The low-profile design (22mm height) ensures they complement rather than disrupt installations, making them ideal for visible spaces like open closets or retail racks. They include M8 stainless steel bolts and lock washers, preventing loosening from vibration (e.g., garage door movement, foot traffic).
• Material: 304 stainless steel (18% chromium, 8% nickel; welded construction with double welds)
• Tube Compatibility: Exclusively for 25mm outer-diameter round tubes (tolerance: ±0.1mm)
• Load Capacity: Up to 77 lbs (35 kg) per bracket (wood/steel studs); 55 lbs (25 kg) (drywall)
• Dimensions: (L) 235mm × (H) 30mm × (Thickness) 2mm (low-profile to avoid visual obstruction)
• Mounting Type: Dual-hole design (M8 × 30mm stainless steel bolts, 30mm center-to-center spacing)
• Finish: Brushed stainless steel (mill scale removed; Ra 1.6μm)
• Testing: Passes 200-hour salt spray testing (ISO 9227); suitable for covered outdoor use
• Installation Requirement: Space brackets every 1m (3.3ft) for 25mm tubes to prevent sagging
• Reinforced Double Welds: Stress points (tube cradle + mounting tab) are double-welded and inspected for continuity, eliminating weak spots that cause failure in budget brackets. Each weld meets ASTM A815 Class WP-WX standards.
• Anti-Sag Tube Cradle: The curved cradle (radius: 12.5mm) matches the 25mm tube diameter, distributing weight evenly. Testing shows a 2m 25mm aluminum tube with one center bracket sags only 1.5mm under 77 lbs—well below the 5mm industry sag limit.
• Weather Resistance: 304 stainless steel resists rust in covered outdoor environments (e.g., patio railings, screened porches). Avoid direct rain exposure for long-term durability.
• Adjustable Slotted Holes: The 5mm × 8mm slotted mounting holes allow ±3mm alignment, correcting minor measurement errors or uneven walls. No need to re-drill if brackets are slightly off-center.
• Vibration-Resistant Hardware: Included lock washers prevent bolts from loosening due to vibration (e.g., garage tools, washing machines), ensuring long-term stability.
• Cost-Effective Support: Eliminates the need for thicker, more expensive tubes by adding mid-span support. Using these brackets can reduce tube thickness requirements by 20%, lowering project costs.
Indispensable for long-span installations:
• Residential Closets: Mid-span support for 25mm hanging rails (spans 1.2m+; heavy winter coats, fur items) and curtain rails for large windows/sliding doors.
• Kitchens: Centre brackets for 25mm pot racks (cast-iron cookware) and utensil hanging rails (near stovetops).
• Garages/Workshops: Tool racks for heavy equipment (drills, hammers) and ladder storage rails.
• Commercial Spaces: Retail garment racks (department stores, spans 2m+), warehouse inventory shelves (small parts), and exhibit display rails (trade shows).
Q: How many brackets do I need for a 3m long 25mm tube?
A: For a 3m 25mm tube, we recommend 2 center brackets (spaced 1m apart) plus end supports. This maintains the 77 lbs load capacity and keeps sagging under 2mm. Spacing brackets further (1.5m) reduces load capacity to 55 lbs.
Q: Can I use these outdoors on an uncovered patio?
A: No—304 stainless steel will develop minor rust spots after 6-12 months of direct rain exposure. For uncovered outdoor use, upgrade to 316L Stainless Steel Centre Brackets (sold separately), which offer 4× better corrosion resistance.
Q: Are the bolts long enough for 2x6 wood studs?
A: The included M8 × 30mm bolts work for 2x4 studs (38mm thick) or 2x6 studs (50mm thick) with 12mm drywall. For thicker studs (e.g., 2x8), use M8 × 40mm stainless steel bolts (available at hardware stores) to ensure secure mounting.
