ADA Rail System

System Description

The Hollaender^® ADA handrail system is designed to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

• ADA handrail can be purchased as individual fittings and pipe or assembled components.
• Designed to allow for easy site assembly and installation of handrail on both new construction and alterations.
• Handrail bracket (#85) can be rotated to any angle (within the #85A splice) for ramps or stairs. Provides for 1-1/2" clearance between handrail and post or wall.
• The under slung, rounded design creates a continuous gripping surface with no sharp edges.
• System can be supplied mill, anodized or powder coated.
• End Loops, Wall Returns, Flanges, Elbows, Splices and Tangent Bends available.
• Design of ADA handrail combines the clean look of welded rail with all the benefits of a mechanical system. ADA Rail uses 1-1/2" IPS, Schedule 40 aluminum pipe.
• ADA Rail systems can be designed to meet any building code. Please refer to the Technical Section of our Full-Line Catalog, visit www.hollaender.com or call our engineers for additional code-compliance information.
• ADA uses Interna-Rail^® aluminum fittings, which are supplied with an M12-C22-A41 architectural class 1 anodized finish that provides an additional resistance to corrosion and staining. The hardware supplied with the product is stainless steel and anodized aluminum.
• The double tang set screw activated design provides a virtually maintenance free system which is inherently longer lasting than those which utilize adhesives and pop rivets.
