3.0 DESCRIPTION

3.1 Railing Systems:

3.1.1 Aluminum Railing Systems:

The Aluminum Railing System Series V800, C800, M600,

I800, A800, O800, and L800 are guards consisting of

extruded aluminum posts and post sleeves, sub-rail panel

with top and bottom channel rails and balusters, bottom-

rail support leg, and top and bottom rail covers. The

Aluminum Railing System components are produced from

6063-T5 aluminum alloy, the posts are produced from

6005A-T5 aluminum alloy, the post caps are produced

from A380 aluminum alloy, and the post base plates are

produced from A369 aluminum alloy. The Aluminum

Railing System is available in seven different series:

V800, C800, M600, I800, A800, O800, and L800; where

each top rail is described by a designated series: Victorian

(V), Colonial (C), Mission (M), Impressions (I), Aria (A),

Optima (O) and Alta/Modern (L).

The minimum yield and tensile strengths, minimum

thickness of the railing components, and manufacturing

extrusion process are specified in the approved quality

control documentation. The railing components are

available in a white, black, bronze, or custom powder

coated finish.

3.1.2: Aluminum Railing System with MP400 Mesh

Panels:

The MP400 mesh panels are sub-rail panels for the

Aluminum Railing System and consist of extruded

prefabricated aluminum mesh panels factory tack welded

to top and bottom channel rails. The sub-rail panels can

be installed with the Aluminum Railing System consisting

of extruded aluminum posts and top and bottom rail

covers.

Each MP400 mesh panel is a prefabricated aluminum

mesh produced from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy.

The minimum yield and tensile strengths, minimum

thickness of the railing components, and manufacturing

extrusion process are specified in the approved quality

control documentation. The railing components are

available in a white, black or bronze powder coated finish.

3.1.3: ADA Handrails:

ADA Handrails consist of extruded aluminum round

hollow pipe with cast-in-place aluminum wall returns and

mid supports.

The ADA handrails consists of extruded 6063-T5

aluminum alloy and the 90

wall returns and mid supports

are produced from A369 aluminum alloy.

The minimum yield and tensile strengths, minimum

thickness of the railing components, and manufacturing
