FULL RANGE OF FITTINGS
A complete selection of fittings is offered for the Connectorail ® system. A suitable fitting is available for practically any stair or ramp railing condition. Adjustable handrail brackets and ramp rail tees are recommended for unusual ramp or stair angles. Pre-anodized aluminum Connectorail ® fittings can be fabricated at the job site, speeding installation.

 

MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS
Non-welded connections eliminate welding discoloration and expensive grinding. Structural adhesive, stainless steel machine screws with lock washers, and threaded tubular rivets provide positive connections at joints. Mechanical connections avoid the reduced allowable design stress effect of welding heat on the structural properties of aluminum handrail pipe.




OPTIONS FOR MOUNTING
Connectorail ® posts may be embedded in floor slab with a cover flange, surface mounted with a heavy-duty floor flange, or side mounted on fascia or stringer by means of a fascia flange. A reinforcing insert is used at the base of the post for added strength and stiffness. A socket for removable railings-with cover-is also available.





CONTINUOUS POSTS AND RAILS
Posts and top rails run in continuous lengths, thus providing a system that is inherently stronger than one with cast tee and cross connections. Connectorail ® has a continuous, smooth top surface as required by established safety standards and code requirements. The structural integrity of the railing depends on the proper selection of components, location of posts, and proper assembly and installation.
