6.2 PREPARING STARLINE HANDRAILS
Refer to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 on how to calculate the cutting lengths for the profiles.
Once the profiles have been cut to length:
• Slide the brackets into the groove of the aluminium profile.
• Position the end brackets at no more than 50 mm from the end of the profile.
• Set the brackets at maximum intervals of 1,200 mm.
• For short handrail lengths, use at least two brackets at even intervals.
• Fix the brackets to the aluminium profile using a 2.5 mm Allen key.
• Then insert the accessories (endcaps, wall returns, jointing pieces, etc.) into the profile
and secure with the pre-fitted screws until they are flush and hold the accessory in place.
• Assemble the profile and accessories using a self-tapping screw or 3 mm diameter rivet.
Position the screw or rivet 10 mm from the end.

HANDRAILS
• For anodised and PVC sheathed STARLINE handrails, fix the flexible adhesived PVC band along the whole length of the profile and accessories.
A band grip piece must be used to secure the band at the end of the accessory.
• Press down hard (with a roller) all along the length.
