Steel Stair Instructions
Thank you for purchasing the Lapeyre stair. With
proper installation, your Lapeyre stair will give you
many years of maintenance-free service.
Attaching Handrail
1)
Remove the Lapeyre stair from the shipping
container and lay on a solid, flat surface.
2)
MAKE SURE THE HANDRAILS NARROW TOWARD
THE CENTER OF THE STAIR. Or, in the case of
straight rails
, insure the welds connecting the
balusters to the handrails face inward. Using the
supplied 1/2”-13 x 1-1/2” bolts, lock washers and
rectangular flat washers, attach handrails to the stair.
Place carpenter square on the landing, and against
the straight, vertical section of handrail. Slide first
baluster up or down in the slot until vertical section is
90° to the landing. Tighten the baluster bolt to hold
in place, then tighten all handrail bolts to 35 ft-lbs.
Handrail Clearance
When placing the stair, a minimum of 6” should be
provided between the handrails and any other object
(a minimum of 12” between handrails on two adjacent
stairs).
Installation
1)
Install the stair with the top tread at the same
elevation as the upper finished floor or roof surface.
2)
Prepare the mounting holes for the stair, using the
bolt pattern shown, at right, as a guide.
3)
Put in position and securely bolt both the landing
(top) and footing (bottom) of the stair. Insure foot
mounting bolts are parallel to the landing mounting
surface to avoid
twisting the stair.
Bolts are not
provided. Use
bolts or studs
(minimum 1/2”
diameter).
4)
If the stair is 15’
or taller, you
should install
bracing to prevent
vibration.
Landing
Grey prime only - rubber bumper applied on-site
to central stringer. Just peel and press.
