Summary: The Solid Brass Cap Rail Extrusion is a brass cap rail extrusion from Lavi Industries that forms the top handrail of a picket or baluster railing. Part number 00-H1600 is solid, hand-polished brass, not plated, with a profile 2 inches wide by 1-5/16 inches tall. It is sold in 16-foot and 20-foot lengths in polished brass only and ships from US inventory. The fabricator welds the extrusion to the pickets and welds on the matching ends and turns. Those are the H1600SE Scroll End, H1600S Lateral Scroll, H1600E Square End, and H1600CB Corner Bend. Uncoated solid brass develops a natural patina and polishes back to its original shine. It is used on period staircases, balconies, and porches, and the larger H1800 profile is listed in the catalog.
Key specs: Materials=Solid Polished Brass (NOT plated; heritage-grade authentic material); SKU=00-H1600/16 + 00-H1600/20 (uses Lavi standard slash-separator convention; matches Flush Fittings PF SKU pattern)
Solid Brass Cap Rail Extrusion
This cap-rail extrusion is hand-polished solid brass — not plated — the flat profile from which a period rail is built. It is available in 16-foot (00-H1600/16) and 20-foot (00-H1600/20) lengths, cut to fit a stair, a balcony, or a porch, and develops its finish over time the way only solid brass does.
