4.4. ASSEMBLE STANDARD PLATFORM HANDRAILS
4.4.1. Two-Line and Single-Line handrails are provided in pairs when ordered with the
PATHWAY 3G platform. Vertical Pickets & Horizontal Pickets are provided for a single side
to allow maximum flexibility in handrail options. When Vertical Pickets or Horizontal
Pickets are ordered, you will receive a platform with Two-Line handrails and the picket
option(s) ordered. Two-Line handrails can also be converted to other styles in the field,
see Section 4.6. Regardless of style, it is strongly recommended the bolts be assembled
loosely and not fully tightened until all have been installed and the handrail has been
installed in the platform.
4.4.2. For Two-Line platform handrails, pre-assemble the handrails by inserting a 5/16”-18 x 1”
long hex bolts through a 5/16” flat washer, the angle post, and into a 5/16”-18 round
threaded insert in the handrails or curb. Use the holes shown in FIG. 4.5.
