Description
The rail-to-post joint for ramps and stairs at any slope, ready drilled. This three-part moulded yellow GRP fitting joins a 50mm GRP rail to a post at whatever angle the ramp or stair needs, where a 90 degree tee will not do. A sleeve connector fits over the post, and a matching pair of universal connectors forms a pivot that carries the rail. It also sets the angle of the top rail and knee rail where they end at a post. It comes pre-drilled with its stainless M6 bolts and rivet nuts. The price shown is for one.
Why choose it
Any slope. Set the angle on site to suit shallow ramps or steep stairs.
Ready to fit. Holes drilled, bolts and rivet nuts included.
No rust, no hot work. Moulded GRP, fixed cold with stainless fixings.
High visibility. Safety yellow all the way through, so scratches do not show grey.
Where it is used
Ramp and stair handrails, knee rails and rail ends in yellow GRP handrail at water and wastewater treatment works, chemical plants, rail depots, food factories and electrical sites.

Load tested system
The 50mm GRP tube handrail system these parts belong to has been load tested by an independent UK laboratory as a straight two-rail balustrade, 1100mm high with a mid rail at 550mm and posts at 1000mm centres. It carried 0.4 kN/m, above the 0.36 kN/m general duty load for industrial handrails in BS 4592-0.
Pre-drilled, bolts included
This is the drilled version: the fixing holes are already made and it comes with the stainless M6 fixings it needs, so it goes straight onto the tube. Use the drilled holes once the slope is set.

Fitting
Fit the sleeve connector over the post at the rail height. Fit the universal connector over the end of the rail and join it to the sleeve through the pivot. Set the rail to the slope of the ramp or stair, then fit the rivet nuts and M6 bolts and tighten with a hex key.
Care
Wash down with water and mild detergent. Check the bolts once a year and after any impact. GRP needs no painting.
