Continuous Vinyl Handrail Page 7 1 1 2 OD Aluminum reinforced vinyl is ADA compliant. Simple to install on site. Adjustable internal joiner eliminates fittings and accommodates any angle (patent pending). Create continuous code compliant handrail on any stair or ramp. Surface damage, scratches and graffiti can be sanded out and polished to restore the rail to like new condition.
Continuous Vinyl Handrail 1 1 2 OD vinyl meets all Americans with Disabilities Act graspability requirements. Unique adjustable internal joiner accommodates any transition, stair, or ramp angle. Easily assembles on site with no pre-formed fittings. Heavy wall vinyl exterior over engineered aluminum interior provides maintenance free strength and durability. Can be installed in any stair or ramp configuration continuously and uninterrupted. Mounts to wood, vinyl, or metal railing systems to provide code compliant graspability. Installs like wood no special tools required. Eliminates ugly pre-bent fittings. With Stairs & Ramps It s All About Angles... Page 8 Adjustable internal joiner is infinitely adjustable to fit any stair, ramp, or transition angle. Endurance has a 12 year history as the nation s innovator in code compliant vinyl railing systems. This experience brings another industry first with our adjustable internal joiner (patent pending). Simply cut the rail to the desired angle using a mitre saw, adjust the joiner to the proper angle, then glue in place. Accommodates angles from 0 90º. Pre-bent fittings with other systems just don t work. No two stairs or ramps are alike, fittings preformed to a few selected angles make it impossible to accommodate every situation. With the Endurance continuous vinyl handrail system, code compliance is simple! Adjustable Internal Joiner ADA compliant ramp rail is simple with Endurance. End loops, rail extensions, returns, and transitions are all easily installed on site with no special tools. Endurance continuous vinyl handrail can be mounted to any railing material, vinyl, wood, or steel. Wall mounted handrail can be fabricated on site using a mitre saw and our adjustable joiner to create any continuous configuration. Here a 90º wall return (EHRC15) is joined to two rail sections. Two internal joiners allow the rail to follow the wall and ramp configuration.
