4.4.3.

For the “second” handrail in a turn configuration, only assemble one angle post as described

above, paying attention to how it will connect to the “first” handrail so the angle post will be

oriented correctly.

4.4.4.

For straight platform configurations and the “first” handrail on a turn platform, drop

platform handrails into the corner pockets (FIG. 4.8). The curb should rest on top of the

corner pocket when installing the Two-Line handrails. For the Vertical Picket handrails, align

the bottom of the post with the bottom of the platform corner pockets.

4.4.5.

For the “second” handrail on a turn platform, insert the angle post into a corner pocket at 90

degrees from the “first” handrail, then install 5/16”-18 x 1” long hex bolt through a 5/16” flat

washer, the angle post in the “first” handrail, and into a 5/16”-18 threaded inserts in the

“second” handrail, curb, or picket (FIG. 4.8). Tighten all fasteners securely.

4.4.6.

Tighten two set screws on the inside of each platform corner pocket. One setscrew is located

above the platform deck and the other is underneath (FIG. 4.7).

4.4.7.

Install an angle cap on top of each handrail post. Use construction adhesive to bond the cap

in place (FIGs. 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6).

4.4.8.

Ensure all fasteners are tightened securely.
