5.8.19.
Assemble three 1-1/2” diameter 90° elbows using 2-15/16” ring joiners. Remove
the elbows from the ramp handrail if needed but be sure to keep track of the cut
ends so they can be reinstalled in the same orientation with respect to the
handrails and each other. Orient all joiner set screws toward the underside and
tighten all joiner set screws securely (FIG. 5.43).
5.8.20.
Adjust the handrail standoff to contact the underside of the middle elbow, and
then use the holes in the standoff as a template to drill 5/16” or 11/32” holes
through the platform angle posts (FIG. 5.43).
5.8.21.
Attach handrail standoff to platform angle posts using 5/16”-18 x 1” button head
socket cap screws, 5/16”-18 nylon insert locknuts, and 5/16” flat washers
oriented as shown (FIG. 5.43).
5.8.22.
Drive a 1/4”-14 x 3” self-drilling, self-tapping hex washer head screw up through
the underside of the handrail standoff into the middle 1-1/2” diameter 90°
elbow. Put pressure on the elbow until the threads engage and pull the
components together (FIG. 5.43).
5.8.23.
Tighten all fasteners securely including all ring joiner set screws and elbow
assembly screws if not completed previously.
