Lavi Bright Brass Flange Insert 1-1/2" D, 20-541/1H

Lavi Bright Brass Flange Insert For Brass Rail

Lavi bright brass flange insert is a steel flange and insert assembly designed for bar and foot railing projects where a brass rail must be joined to steel pipe. The flange is internally threaded to accept 1/2 inch steel pipe, so the pipe threads directly into the flange for a solid mechanical connection that resists movement in service. That same steel pipe is then inserted into the brass rail, creating a transition from pipe to rail that ties the two materials together in one hidden joint. This configuration lets the installer rely on threaded steel engagement where strength is needed while still presenting a bright brass rail to the user, which is important anywhere appearance and structural performance both matter. The assembly is part of the Lavi Industries bar and foot railing and accessories line, so it aligns with typical bar rail layouts in commercial or residential projects.

Key Flange Insert Details For Bar Rails

• The flange and insert are steel, providing a robust threaded interface that supports the bar rail connection under normal use where the joint must stay tight over time.
• The flange is internally threaded to accept 1/2 inch steel pipe, so standard threaded pipe can be used for the structural member without special machining.
• The 1/2 inch steel pipe is then inserted into the brass rail, which allows the strong steel core to be concealed inside the decorative brass tube for a clean finished look.
• The product is described as a bright brass flange insert, aligning the assembly with bright brass bar rail systems where visual consistency of fittings and rail is important.
• The part is listed under bar and foot railing and accessories, indicating it is intended for railing runs rather than unrelated hardware uses, which helps match it to the correct type of project.

Flange Insert Mounting And Pipe Connection Details

This flange insert uses an internally threaded steel flange to create the primary connection point, so the 1/2 inch steel pipe threads into the flange much like other threaded pipe fittings used on job sites. Once the pipe is engaged in the flange, the installer inserts the free end of the same pipe into the brass rail, which positions the steel inside the brass to act as the internal support for that section of railing. Because the flange and insert are both steel, the threaded area stands up to normal installation torque on the pipe threads, helping the joint remain stable. The bright brass identity of the insert ties it to brass rail systems, so the visible portion of the railing can maintain a consistent brass appearance while relying on the internal steel and flange for alignment.

Using This Flange Insert In Bar Rail Runs

Where This Flange Insert Fits In Railing Layouts

This Lavi bright brass flange insert fits into bar and foot railing layouts where a brass rail needs to connect onto 1/2 inch steel pipe support. The flange is internally threaded for that 1/2 inch steel pipe, so the structural element of the run is handled by the threaded pipe-to-flange interface. After the pipe is secured to the flange, the pipe is inserted into the brass rail, letting the steel core extend inside the rail to carry load along that segment. Because the part is cataloged under bar and foot railing and accessories, its role is specifically aligned with railing assemblies rather than general structural framing, which helps it serve as a targeted connection point within the rail system. The bright brass nature of the insert also ties visually to brass rails typically used at bars, counters, and footrests.

Why The Internally Threaded Steel Design Matters

The internally threaded steel flange allows the 1/2 inch steel pipe to engage via threads instead of relying on friction alone, which matters when the joint must resist rotation or loosening over time. Steel construction for both flange and insert means the threads are cut into a hard material that tolerates typical job-site tightening of pipe, helping maintain alignment of the brass rail that the pipe supports. When the threaded pipe is inserted into the brass rail, the steel core and brass exterior work together: the steel handles structural duty while the brass presents the finished look that users see. Using a part designated as a flange insert for bar and foot railing and accessories gives the installer a purpose-built connector for railing runs that combine brass rails with steel pipe supports in one continuous line.

Common Questions About This Lavi Flange Insert

Selecting This Flange Insert For Brass Rail Work

The Lavi bright brass flange insert 1-1/2 inch D, 20-541/1H, uses an internally threaded steel flange that accepts 1/2 inch steel pipe, then positions that pipe inside a brass rail, giving the railing a steel core with a brass exterior. For bar and foot railing and accessories projects where brass rail must meet steel pipe supports, this dedicated Lavi Industries component keeps the structural pipe engagement and the visible brass rail tied together in one assembly. Use this part when a bar or foot rail layout calls for a threaded steel-to-brass rail connection that stays concealed yet mechanically solid throughout the run.
