Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

This C45 Cap Rail is manufactured from Class 25-30 gray cast iron, a material renowned for its excellent compressive strength, vibration damping properties, and wear resistance. Its composition makes it ideal for creating detailed and durable ornamental components that can withstand environmental exposure once properly finished. The cast iron is readily weldable to steel railings and can be easily prepped for painting, providing a versatile solution for custom fabrication projects. This industrial-grade component ensures longevity and structural integrity for any architectural metalwork.

As a key piece of finishing hardware, the C45 cap rail is used by metal fabricators and contractors to complete ornamental and functional railing systems. It is designed to be placed atop steel fences, gates, stair railings, and balcony guards, offering a comfortable and visually appealing top surface. Its classic profile complements a wide range of architectural styles, making it a preferred choice for commercial, residential, and industrial construction projects throughout the Los Angeles area. It enhances both the safety and the design of the finished structure.

Target Users

This industrial-grade cap rail is primarily used by metal fabricators, welding shops, general contractors, and MRO professionals. It is an essential component for those specializing in architectural metalwork, custom fencing, and gate manufacturing.

Finish Options

Our C45 cast iron cap rail is supplied in a raw, unfinished state, allowing for maximum customization. This surface is ideal for preparation, priming, and painting with industrial coatings such as alkyd or epoxy enamels. A proper finish will ensure excellent corrosion resistance and allow the rail to match any design scheme.

How to Measure

To ensure a proper fit, measure the width of the top bar of your railing or fence panel. The C45 cap rail is specifically designed to fit securely over a 1-½” wide flat bar or square tube, providing a clean, overlapping edge.
