HANDRAILS
If the wall surface is uneven, the brackets can be adjusted against the wall using 10 mm thick adjustment shims. These shims are fitted behind
the brackets.
Where a service duct has been installed, a removable handrail section may be required to provide easier access to the duct.
The distance between the brackets must not exceed 1,200 mm. The handrail must be located in a low-impact area. The strength of the wall fixings
must be suited to the forces exerted.
Service duct kit for ESCORT handrails
For ESCORT handrails, the service duct kit is created in-situ (by cutting the profile to the dimensions of the access cover using 45° mitred cuts).
If the removable ESCORT handrail section is longer than 1,100 mm, a quick-removable bracket will need to be fitted to the access cover. Quick-
removable brackets come with an assembly wedge that can be clamped into the groove in the aluminium rail with a 3 mm Allen key.
