Stair barriers technical information

Stair Clamp Installation

1) If possible it is preferable to install the barrier system at ground level. If this is not an available option then PPE should be utilised in accordance with W.A.H. requlations.

2) The appropriate component should be identified according to the application involved (see component range below).

3) The clamps for the stair flights are handed left (E-01625) or right (E-01650) as looking up the flight.

4) The clamp should be adjusted in/out to suit the throat thickness of the P.C. stair unit and applied from the side onto the appropriate step and moved hard in against the side of the casting and tight up to the riser.

5) The clamp should now be tightened - it will self adjust to the incline of the underside of the casting and pull in against the riser of the step - tighten until solid (do not over tighten as damage to the casting may occur).

6) Stair post (E-00450) can now be inserted into the unit and locked into place with the pin provided to give the height required.

7) The sash clamps for the landings (E-02600 OR E02650) should be applied as described above at appropriate positions and used with standard (E-00400) posts.

8) Stair Wings (E-02000) should be attached to the top and bottom panels of each flight.

Surface Mounted Stair Socket (Cast-In Fixing) Installation

1) If possible it is preferable to install the barrier system at ground level. If this is not an available option then PPE should be utilised in accordance with W.A.H. requlations.

2) The cast-in fixings (M16x100) will have been installed at appropriate positions around in the castings.

3) Surface Mounted Stair Sockets (E-03450) should be applied to the cast-in fixings and M16x45 setscrews and washers inserted and hand tightened.

4) Posts should now be inserted into the sockets and indexing pins inserted to set the height required. Stair Posts (E-00450) should be used on the stair flights and Standard Posts (E-00400) used on landings.

5) Holes in the baseplates of the units are slotted allowing final positioning adjustments to be made (temporary application of barriers may help positioning). The screws should now be fully tightened.

6) Barriers can now be installed and tie-wraps applied to secure to posts.

7) Stair Wings (E-02000) should be attached to the top and bottom panels of each flight.
