Hold a handrail at a close standoff with the short-projection stem in Lavi's 300 series modular bracket system. It fits between the mount base, which fastens to the wall, and the saddle, which cradles the rail, setting a tight distance between wall and handrail. A close projection suits a stairway or corridor where the rail should sit near the wall. The stem is OD-agnostic, working across 1.5", 1.67", and 2" builds through the matching saddle, and is made from 316-grade satin stainless steel, marine-capable for damp and coastal settings, so you can build a bracket to an exact standoff. Part number 49-300STM.
