CONNECTING HANDRAILS WITH ADJUSTABLE ELBOWS

The adjustable elbow is used to connect two 1-1/2″ diameter round tubes and is most commonly used to

connect two ramp handrails when the ramps change direction with a platform in-between.

5.1.

CONNECTING TWO 1-1/2″ DIAMETER ROUND TUBES (RAMP HANDRAILS):

Because each

installation is unique, the round tubes used to connect two adjustable elbows must be cut to fit at

the job site.

5.1.1.

Slide an adjustable elbow into each 1-1/2″ diameter round tube (FIG. 4.1).

5.1.2.

Position both until they are aligned (do not tighten), and measure the distance between

the two larger round faces (FIG. 4.2).

NOTE:

When connecting ramp handrails, the

gap in the upper and lower handrail tube will be different. Be sure to measure both

before cutting the round tube.
