CLOSURE HANDRAILS
Closure handrails are installed in the same manner for the two-line rail and the picketed guard
closure. The images in this section show the installation using a two-line rail closure.
5.5.1.
Insert a 2-15/16” ring joiner in the ramp handrail and install a 1-1/2” diameter tube
bend (“tube bend”) onto the other end of the joiner. Orient the joiner set screw
toward the underside of the handrail (FIG. 5.17).
The tube bends are specific to the length of the platform side but may still need to
be field-trimmed. If trimming, use a metal file to remove all sharp edges.
5.5.2.
Level the tube bend with respect to the platform deck, and then tighten the joiner set
screw to hold the tube bend in place (FIG. 5.17).
