Some runs don't land on a neat angle. When a rail follows a stair pitch, a curve, or a sloped-to-level transition, a fitting cast to one fixed angle simply won't sit flush. The 822-2 connector solves that with a two-piece pivot joint: set the join angle by hand during installation to match exactly what the run needs, then lock it in place. Each end accepts a 2" OD railing tube with.050" wall thickness. It's finished in polished brass, at home on a warm traditional rail or a brass restoration. Because you dial the angle in on-site, one part covers the odd transitions that would otherwise mean a custom bend — whether you're fitting a single staircase or a longer run. It sits in the Universal Connectors line, so it pairs with matching brass fittings across the same family.
