5.2.
TWO-LINE RAIL BARRIER AND MID RAIL
5.2.1.
The 1.5” x 2” barrier will come in the length required for the platform side and should
not need to be trimmed.
5.2.2.
Insert 1-1/2” square threaded inserts into both ends of the barrier (FIG. 5.2). Use a
rubber mallet or similar tool to fully seat as needed.
5.2.3.
Attach the lower 1.5” x 2” barrier in the lowermost hole in the platform angle post
using a 5/16”-18 x 1” long hex bolt (do not use a flat washer at this location). The 1.5”
x 2” barrier is commonly installed with the larger cavity (into which the 1-1/2” square
threaded insert is installed) on top and the smaller cavity on the bottom (FIG. 5.2).
5.2.4.
Locate the appropriate barrier attachment plate (FIG 5.3). If the upper end of the
ramp or ramp run terminates at a platform, use the “up sloping” version of the
plate. If the lower end of a ramp or ramp run starts at a platform use the “down
sloping” version. Note the orientation of the larger 3/8” diameter hole with
respect to the 1-1/2” x 2” section of the plate as shown (FIG. 5.3) to identify the
barrier attachment plate needed.
