Handrail & Brackets
â–ª Measure the desired height of handrail, measure down 110mm to line up the bottom of the brackets. Mark the wall or use a laser level. Locate the brackets at a maximum of 900mm spacing.
â–ª The brackets must be securely fixed to the wall. Fixings should be selected so the installed handrail can resist at least a 60kg load. Preferably fix into a timber wall frame, directly into brickwork or onto a separate rail securely fixed to the wall. Use a Pan Head12g x 50mm screw to fix through 10mm plasterboard and into a timber frame. If fixing directly into the wall lining, ensure fixing plugs are appropriate for the application and securely fixed.
â–ª Rest the handrail onto the brackets and mark the desired length. Cut the handrail to length (protect the cut line with masking tape and cut using an 80-100 tooth saw). Sand the cut edge forming a slight bevel with fine sandpaper (220 grit).
Connecting Fittings
Refer to the diagram below:
â–ª Locate the Alignment Jig onto the end of handrail, position the Connector inside the Jig and drill a 3.0mm diameter pilot hole. Use a 10 gauge x 50mm Countersunk screw to fix the Connector to the handrail.
▪ Use a high strength slow cure retained compound adhesive (Loctite® 680TM or equivalent high strength retaining compound) to adhere the components to the connectors (adhesive not provided). Make final alignment adjustments and allow to cure.
