ADA HANDRAILS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Railing Accents

™

1. ADA Handrails can be installed using various design

applications such as those for stairs, ramps, and horizontal

applications. Designs include options for straight and 90°

wall returns, 90° corners, and adjustable angles. Choose

which is best for your needs before installing.

2. The Handrail system top rail

should be 34” (86.4 cm) to 38”

(96.5 cm) above the surface.

However, verifying height

requirements with local building

code ofcials before installing

is important as codes vary in

different areas.

3. Maintain a minimum clearance

of 1-1/2” (3.8 cm) between the

Handrail and any obstructions

above or behind the Handrail.

4. The end loop return at all landings must extend 12" (30.5

cm) past the end of the ramp or stair nose.

5. The slope of the Handrail for the ramp should not exceed 1"

(2.5 cm) rise over a 12” (30.5 cm) run.

ADA HANDRAIL GUIDELINES

6. The maximum recommended span between supports is 6’

(1.83 m) on center. Thus, placement of posts is critical when

installation of railing is being considered.

7. Handrails are designed to t tightly together. It is critical

to line up components in the correct orientation BEFORE

connecting them. If it is necessary to shift or move a

component, you may have to wrap it with a protective

cloth to prevent scratching and use a wide mouth pliers to

realign it.

8. At any straight location where internal connector is used,

it is CRITICAL to locate these as close to a wall mount as

possible.

9. If using metal posts, pre-drill all locations for bracket

attachment. (Always use a drill bit slightly SMALLER in

diameter than the screw being used for attachment.)

10. All elbow components can be cut down to allow for

tighter angles. Cut a maximum of 2" on each side if this is

required.

*Refer to the American Disabilities Act for detailed information

in regards to ADA Handrail requirements.

» WHEN CUTTING METAL, ALWAYS WEAR PROPER SAFETY EYEWEAR (AS WELL AS ANY OTHER
