Galvanised Raked Handrail Standard, Left Hand, 42.4mm Tube, 38 Degree Side Palm

A one piece galvanised left hand raked handrail standard for 42.4mm tube, with two 38 degree sockets at 450mm centres and a bolt-on side palm. The price shown is for one standard.

Why choose this handrail standard

Made for stairs. Two ball sockets are set at 38 degrees, so the rails run at the rake of a stair.

Side fixing. The side palm bolts to the face of a stringer or landing edge, which keeps the walkway clear.

Galvanised. A galvanised finish suits indoor and outdoor stairs.

Where it is used

External stairs, fire escapes, plant access stairs, ramps and steel staircases.

What it is

This is a one piece galvanised handrail standard for stairs and ramps. Two ball sockets are set along the upright at 450mm centres, and each one is drilled at 38 degrees so the rails run at the rake of a stair. The side palm at the base bolts to the side of a stringer, a landing edge or a concrete face.

The left hand and right hand versions are made for opposite sides of a flight, so check which you need before ordering. They are not interchangeable.

Choosing left or right

Stand at the bottom of the flight and look up the stairs. The hand of the standard sets which way the sockets rise when the palm is fixed to the side of the flight. If you are not sure which hand you need, call us with a photo of the stair before you order.

This standard is set at 38 degrees. Measure your stair pitch first, because a standard made for one rake will not suit a noticeably different one.

Fitting tips

The base plate has two 18mm holes at 100mm centres. Check that the structure you are fixing to can take the load, and choose bolts that suit it. Fixings are not included.

Hold each standard plumb, bolt it up, then run the tube through the sockets and lock it with the M8 grub screws. Check the rails are in line along the flight before you tighten everything fully. Treat any cut tube ends with zinc rich paint. This is general guidance, so follow good practice for your own site.

Before you order

No load rating is published for this standard, so have a competent person confirm the design where the rail protects a drop or a public stair. Rails are not included, so order lengths of tube in the matching size.
