Fabricator: Modern Mirror & Glass, Roseville, MI.
JB Glass Railing is a system of metal railing components for use with 12" or
3
4" tempered glass panels as structural balusters.
similar in appearance to stainless steel with golden highlights Nickel-silver

sheets are available in two widths for use as cladding for shoe mouldings.
Aluminum Shoe Mouldings are designed to support a design load of 300

lbs. applied at any point at the top of a railing up to 42" in height. Proper
mounting of the shoe moulding is crucial to the strength of JB Glass Railing.
Test results are available upon request or from our web site,
www.juliusblum.com. Mechanical properties of glass may be verified with
supplier of glass panels.
Stainless Steel glass rail sections are roll formed, type 302/304 (18-8).
Shoe mouldings are supplied in two configurations and two alloys. Available
for 12 inch and 34 inch tempered glass, the heavier sections, in alloy 6063-T52,
may be anodized and are better suited for bending and facia mounting. The
lighter section is extruded in high strength alloy 6061-T6 to provide required
strength with minimum weight. All three sections can be surface mounted
exposed or with a sheet metal trim or set flush with the floor surface.
Aluminum glass rail sections are extruded from alloy 6063-T52 and, when
properly fabricated, are suitable for anodizing, including most of the hard-coat
anodic processes. Black anodizing may result in inconsistent matches.
Consult your anodizer before specifying.
Acrylic/Wood glass rail sections are produced from oak which has been
impregnated with acrylic plastic according to the Permagrain Radiation
Process. This provides a hard surface and permanent finish which has twice
the resistance to indentation and several times the resistance to abrasion as
the same hardwood finished conventionally. It is laminated from several strips
to obtain greater strength and continuous, uniform lengths.
Resilient setting block supports and cushions the lower edge of the glass while
centering it in the channel of the shoe moulding.
Glass panels are set in the shoe moulding using a filler selected at the
discretion of the architect or fabricator. Do not use epoxy based fillers.
For matching wall-mounted or glass-mounted handrail, use Carlstadt wall
brackets with matching tubing sections or JB Glass Railing sections and
concealed, inserted closure.
Bronze glass rail sections are extruded from alloy C38500,

architectural bronze.
The glass tempering process requires that all fabrication be completed prior to
tempering. Attempts to cut, drill or grind the edges after tempering are likely to
cause breakage.
Nickel-Silver extrusions are of alloy C79800. Nickel-silver is a copper alloy,
All items are carried in stock in substantial quantities for prompt shipment.

GLASS RAILING
MATCHING STOCK PARTS SPEED FABRICATION AND ASSEMBLY
GLASS MOUNTING
Resilient setting blocks support and cushion
glass panels as they are inserted in the shoe.
Setting blocks should be 4 to 6 inches long and
placed at points 14 and 34 of the length of the
panel from each end. Space is allowed for
plumbing and setting of glass choice of filler
material is at the discretion of the
specifier/fabricator. Spacer blocks, 14 inch
thick, should be inserted between adjoining glass
panels to prevent glass to glass contact.
HANDRAIL ASSEMBLY
A vinyl protective insert protects the top edge
of the glass panel and fits closely inside the
handrail molding a windshield sealer type
clear adhesive is recommended. Intermediate
rails may be attached directly to the glass
(holes must be drilled before tempering) using
the Glass Mounted Adapter Kit and Carlstadt
wall brackets. Splice connections for tubular
sections are accomplished with internal
connector sleeves and structural epoxy.
HANDRAIL AND TUBING

JB Glass Railing top mouldings are available
in several shapes and sizes in aluminum,
bronze, nickel-silver, stainless steel and oak
acrylic/wood. Handrails may be wall
mounted using Carlstadt brackets with an
anchor plug or by using available matching
1.900", 212", 3", 312" and 4" tubing. Handrails
may be mounted directly to the glass using
Glass Mounted Handrail Kit with Carlstadt
wall brackets.
CORNER BENDS,
MITER CORNERS, END CAPS
Radius and miter elbows match the contour of
1.900", 2 12", 3", 3 12" and 4" round tubing
shapes. Either style of elbow may be used as
a wall return and are attached to handrail by
use of internal connector sleeves and
structural adhesive. End caps are available for
most sections and also be attached by
structural adhesive.

At your request, we have conducted tests on aluminum shoe

mouldings specified for the JB Glass Railing System. It is our
understanding that this particular railing system uses 1 2 -in.
thick tempered glass as a balustrade to support aluminum,
bronze or stainless steel handrail mouldings. The glass panels
are mounted in the aluminum shoe mouldings, which are the
subject of this testing.

The objective of these tests was to obtain information

concerning the load versus deflection characteristics of two
types of shoe mouldings, mounted in several different ways. In
addition, the tests were to demonstrate that the shoe
mouldings could withstand loadings well in excess of current
Model Code regulations, without failure or significant
deformation. Most Model Code regulations require a uniform
loading of 50 lbs. per lineal foot, and some require a 200-lb.
concentrated load. These loads are not to be applied
concurrently.
In the tests conducted and described in our report designated
WJE No. 820960, dated January 13, 1983, concentrated loads
of 400 lbs. to 800 lbs. were applied at approximately 42 in. from
a referenced floor surface. The test sections were 4-ft. long.
The test results and engineering calculations show that the
strength of the shoe mouldings which were tested would
exceed the above-mentioned Model Code loading criteria by a
factor of four.

GLASS RAILING COMPONENTS

GLASS MOUNTED HANDRAIL
Handrail may be mounted to the face of the tempered glass balustrade using a
combination of the Carlstadt wall brackets and our new glass mounting adapter
kit. The kit contains a disc with a 38" stud weld, a bushing, and two gaskets.
TO ASSEMBLE: Prior to tempering, drill a 58" clear hole in the glass (do not
attempt to drill a hole in tempered glass it will most likely break); insert
the bushing in the hole; insert the stud welded disc with gasket through the
bushing; place the gasket on the other side; thread on bracket and tighten.

ASCAP Building, Nashville, TN

Architect: Bulla Associates
Fabricator: Ameriprise, Nashville, TN
Connectorail is an easy-to-assemble pipe railing system that is
fabricated quickly without welding. Components slip together and are
joined by concealed mechanical fasteners at intersections and by epoxy
structural adhesive at splice joints.
The Connectorail system has been engineered and tested to assure
structural strength and integrity when properly installed. Test results are
available upon request. Connectorail meets established safety standards
when installed in accordance with our data and instructions.
See page 131 for recommended post spacing.
Aluminum Connectorail components are stocked in 114" and 112" pipe
sizes schedules 10 and 40 in alloy 6063 with either clear anodized AAM10-C22-A31 (204R1) or smooth mill finish. Connectorail pipe is
specially extruded to close dimensional tolerances with a clean smooth
surface finish. Aluminum pipe is stocked in mill wrapped, paper interleaved
bundles of approximately 100 pounds. Aluminum pipe is suitable for
anodizing, including most of the hard coat anodic processes. Black anodizing
may result in inconsistent matches. Consult your anodizer before specifying.
Stainless Steel (Type 304) components are furnished with a No. 4 satin
finish in 112" schedule 5 pipe size. The pipe is sleeved for surface
protection. Stainless Connectorail can also be fabricated by welding.
The use of Connectorail stainless steel fittings eliminates notching
and grinding and permits rapid welding with a minimum addition of
weld metal.

Bronze Connectorail is supplied in drawn pipe alloy C23000 (Red

Brass) with a smooth mill finish. Bronze fittings are satin finished 180 grit
and lacquered.
Nickel-Silver Connectorail is available in extruded 1 12 inch
schedule 10 pipe in alloy C79800 with a smooth mill finish. Radius
elbows are supplied similarly. All other components are satin finished
180 grit and lacquered.
Pipe railing fittings for welded assembly are available in cast
aluminum, bronze, iron and malleable iron and formed steel and
stainless steel. Flanges and elbows are available for aluminum,
bronze, nickel-silver and stainless OD tubing.
All items are carried in stock in substantial quantities and are normally
available for immediate shipment.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA):
The Americans with Disabilities Act adopted by Congress in 1992 required
handrails to be 114 inches minimum and 112 inches maximum. However, the
US Architecture and Transportation Barriers Compliance Accessibility
Guidelines July 1998 has now clarified the intent of the dimensional
requirements to be 114 inches minimum to a nominal 2 inch maximum. It is
important to note that Section 4.26.2 Size and Spacing of Grab Bars and
Handrails of the ADAAG Manual states in part, Standard IPS pipe designated
by 114 to 112 inches is acceptable.

PIPE RAILINGS
NON-WELDED CONNECTORAIL SYSTEM AND PIPE RAILING FITTINGS FOR WELDED ASSEMBLY
FULL RANGE OF FITTINGS

A complete selection of fittings is offered for
the Connectorail system. A suitable fitting is
available for practically any stair or ramp railing
condition. Adjustable handrail brackets and
ramp rail tees are recommended for unusual
ramp or stair angles. Pre-anodized aluminum
Connectorail fittings can be fabricated at the
job site, speeding installation.
MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS
Non-welded connections eliminate welding
discoloration and expensive grinding.
Structural adhesive, stainless steel machine
screws with lock washers, and threaded
tubular rivets provide positive connections at
joints. Mechanical connections avoid the
reduced allowable design stress effect of
welding heat on the structural properties of
aluminum handrail pipe.
OPTIONS FOR MOUNTING

Connectorail posts may be embedded in floor
slab with a cover flange, surface mounted with
a heavy-duty floor flange, or side mounted on
facia or stringer by means of a facia flange. A
reinforcing insert is used at the base of the
post for added strength and stiffness. A
socket for removable railings with cover is
also available.
CONTINUOUS POSTS
AND RAILS
Posts and top rails run in continuous lengths,
thus providing a system that is inherently
stronger than one with cast tee and cross
connections. Connectorail has a continuous,
smooth top surface as required by established
safety standards and code requirements. The
structural integrity of the railing depends on the
proper selection of components, location of
posts, and proper assembly and installation.

SEMS Screws: SEMS Screws prevent accidental omission of
lock washers and subsequent loosening of joints. The
combination of 14"20 1" stainless steel RHMS with lock
washers and internally threaded tubular rivet fasteners provide
connections of ample strength to develop the full loading
capacity of Connectorail pipe.
Through Bolts: Where two 90 tees are mounted opposite
each other to form a cross assembly, a stainless steel through
bolt with lock nut may be used.
For 114" pipe, use 14"20 212" RHMS with lock nut.
For 112" pipe, use 14"20 3" RHMS with lock nut.

Connectorail is a pre-engineered pipe railing system with

prefabricated components. It is fabricated with ordinary tools and
without welding. It is designed to meet established safety
standards.
114"
8"
The structural integrity of the railing system depends on proper

selection of components, proper number and location of
supports and correct assembly and installation. The data and
instructions in this catalog make it easy to meet these conditions
(see engineering data on pages 122-131). Most fittings are
dimensioned in whole inches to facilitate layout. Confirm
dimensions prior to cutting and/or assembly.

High strength posts and the use of reinforcing inserts are

recommended to permit longer spans and to comply with the
most stringent loading requirements. Facia Flanges and HeavyDuty Floor Flanges include reinforcing inserts. Refer to page 131
for post spacing tables.
SPLICE JOINTS
Splice joints are secured by internal connector sleeves with the
use of epoxy adhesive. Connector sleeves must be ordered
separately unless a sleeve is already welded into the fitting, as it
is in tees, wall returns and miter elbows. Sleeves are made for a
tight press fit and must be compressed with pliers or "C" clamps
to permit them to slip into the pipe. Care must be taken to keep
the sleeves round. Pipe ends must be cut square and to accurate
length to assure smooth, tight joints.
The areas to be joined should be cleaned thoroughly. The
adhesive is mixed according to manufacturers directions. Do not
mix more than you can use within 12 hour. Apply adhesive to
inside of pipe. Fit components together and wipe off excess
adhesive. Leave undisturbed for eight hours longer in cold
weather.
All splices should be made as near as possible to a post, in no
event more than 12" from the nearest post.
BRONZE CONNECTORAIL
About one half of the 5"-long sleeve

should be inside each of the pipe ends.
Apply adhesive to inside of pipe.
EXPANSION JOINTS
Expansion joints should be provided for continuous runs in
excess of 40 feet or at places where building structure provides
expansion joints. If a joint is provided every 20 feet, the width of
the gap should allow 18" expansion for each 40F of expected
temperature rise. To make an expansion joint, the internal
connector sleeve is left unattached at one end so that it is free to
move in and out of the pipe.

Job #127-5069
Tee fittings are secured to the post or rail by means of an

internally threaded tubular rivet inserted into the wall of the pipe
and a stainless steel machine screw and lock washer. When two
90 tees are mounted directly opposite each other to form a
cross, a stainless steel through bolt and lock nut may be used.

CONNECTORAIL SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Drill pipe with drill size Q or 1132" hole. Screw a rivet sleeve-side
first onto the mandrel of the tool. Hold the tool in one hand. Using
the tool, insert the rivet into the hole until the tool comes to rest
against the parent material. Upset rivet by pressing handles
together.
Set tubular rivet in hole, using

setting tool. Upset rivet by
pressing handles together.
MOUNTING POSTS
Embedding in concrete: Posts embedded in concrete should
be set to a depth of 5" below the surface of floor or tread. Allow
for a 1" grout pad beneath post. Provide a hole 212" to 3" in
diameter to leave room for grouting cement and to allow for
adjustment to field variations. A quick setting grout is
recommended for setting posts. For outdoor installation, weep
holes should be drilled in the posts just above the ground. The
reinforcing insert will prevent water from collecting below ground
level. Where aluminum surfaces are embedded in concrete that
contains corrosive components, a coat of zinc chromate primer
or equivalent must be applied.
Use reinforcing bar and cover
flange.

;;;
;;;
;;;

;;;
Surface Mounting: Sleeve anchor bolt 38" 3" is recommended for use with heavy-duty floor flange. Drill 38" hole in
concrete or masonry to 3" depth. Drill holes which conform to
ANSI standard carbide bit dimension (.390" to .398"). Clean out
dust in hole after drilling. Insert sleeve bolt in hole, hand tighten,
then tighten with wrench to a maximum torque of 30 ft. lbs. Use
heavy-duty floor flange as a template for locating holes. Minimum
distance from centerline of hole to edge of concrete is 2".
Draw the fitting up tight with a stainless steel screw and lock washer.
Draw the fittings up tightly from

both sides, using a stainless
steel lock nut.
The use of a lock washer or lock nut is essential because the

assembly must remain tight once it is completed. There is no way
to re-tighten an assembled railing. Stainless steel screws are
required because they provide maximum strength. The 1"-long
screws are supplied with the lock washer already in place.
To locate holes to be drilled for angle tees and crosses, request
our drilling template or make your own template as follows: Draw
a rectangle of a width equal to the circumference of the pipe
(5.21" for 114" pipe, 5.97" for 112" pipe), about 3" to 4" high. Draw
the horizontal and vertical center lines. Draw two more vertical
lines at one half the distance between center line and edges of
the rectangle. On the new lines, mark 1" above and below the
horizontal center line. Wrap the template around the post so that
its horizontal center line is on a level with the intersection of
center lines of the post and the rail. The marks on the template
will indicate the location of holes.
Holes for angle tees, except 4 ramp tee, are

located 1" above and below intersection of
center lines of pipe, regardless of stair angle.
19
1"
Facia Mounting: Disassemble the facia flange, which includes

a reinforcing bar, by removing two screws from the back of the
plate. Drill two 716" holes in the post, one hole 114" from the lower
end, the second one 4" on center from the first, so that they align
with holes in the reinforcing insert. The reinforcing insert is slipped
inside the post and the unit is reassembled and mounted, using
3
8" bolts. While the unit is disassembled, the plate of the facia
flange may be used as a template to locate the holes for
mounting the flange.
For outdoor installation of aluminum, the metal must be kept from
direct contact with concrete or dissimilar metal by application of
bituminous paint or methacrylate lacquer.
ANODIZED FINISHES
When clear anodized components are supplied, no further
finishing is necessary. Any other specified finishes are the
fabricators responsibility and components will be supplied with
mill finish only. If an anodic coating other than our stock
clear finish is to be applied, any stainless steel
fasteners must be removed before anodizing.
INSTALLATION OF PICKET OR PANEL RAILS
Most current safety codes require reduced openings in railings
where they might present a hazard to small children. Pipe railings,
including the Connectorail System, are easily adapted to
comply with this requirement, where it applies, by adding
balusters or panels. Request typical details ether by phone or fax,
or download the details from our web site or CD-ROM.

WALL RETURNS
ARC-FIT PIPE NOTCHER FOR 90 TEE JOINTS

The Arc-Fit notches one side of the pipe end to match the
contour of a pipe of the same size. The pipe is then rotated 180
and the operation repeated on the opposite side. The resulting
notch forms a tee joint without burr or deformation, ready for
welding.

ARC-FIT PIPE NOTCHER FOR ANGLE JOINTS

Notching pipe for angle joints requires two die assemblies for
each size mounted in a #75AB Arc-Fit Double Housing and
operated by a power press 30 ton capacity; 6" shut height;
1" stroke. Since 35 is considered an average for railing work,
die assemblies are stocked for that angle in 114" and 112" standard
pipe sizes. Joint angle can be varied by a few degrees in
assembly.

This section illustrates the numerous handrail mouldings, fittings and
ornamental railing components carried in stock in aluminum, bronze, nickelsilver, steel and stainless steel. Most can be used with the various railing
systems described elsewhere in this catalog.
Aluminum extrusions are of alloy 6063 which is preferred for its bright color,
corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication. It is suitable for anodizing,
including most of the hard coat color finishes.
Bronze extrusions are of alloy C38500, architectural bronze, preferred for its
rich gold color and workability.
aware that due to the difference in tolerances between extruded handrail

and cast fittings, butt joints usually require special attention to assure
proper match.
available for immediate shipment. Materials are produced and handled
with great care. Items are thoroughly protected for shipment by wrapping
and/or crating so as to assure a product well-suited for architectural
finishing. For structural engineering data, see page 122 to 129. For
handrail brackets, see pages 87 to 93.
Nickel-Silver extrusions are of alloy C79800. Sometimes referred to as white

bronze, nickel-silver is a copper/nickel alloy. It is similar in color to stainless
steel, with golden highlights.
Steel handrails are hot-rolled carbon steel, C1010.

Handrails of the ADAAG Manual states in part, Standard IPS pipe
designated by 114 to 112 inches is acceptable.
Cast aluminum fittings are produced from Almag 35, suitable for clear
anodizing. Bronze castings are of alloy C86500 for a good color match with
extruded bronze. Nickel-silver fittings are cast to match extrusions. All nonferrous fittings are satin finished; bronze and nickel-silver fittings are
protected with a clear lacquer. Fittings for use with steel handrail are cast
from malleable iron which is weldable and bendable. It is important to be
ADAAG also allows handrails which provide an equivalent gripping

surface. ANSI117.1-98 defines this alternative: equivalent gripping
surfaces are permitted provided they have a perimeter dimension of 4
inches (100 mm) minimum and 614 inches (160 mm) maximum and
provided their largest cross-section dimension is 214 inches (57 mm)
maximum.
Stainless steel components are of type 304, 18-8, chrome nickel alloy
which has high resistance to corrosion.

Approximate color and grain configurations:
ACRYLIC/WOOD
16' lengths
Acrylic/Wood rail is a prefinished composite material
which retains all the beauty of natural hardwood oak,
walnut and ash but is provided with a hard, lustrous
acrylic surface. This is achieved by impregnating the
wood with acrylic plastic and hardening it by irradiation.
The composite has twice the resistance to indentation
and several times the resistance to abrasion as the
same hardwood finished conventionally.
WALNUT
ASH
Acrylic/Wood is laminated from strips so as to obtain

greater strength and continuous, uniform lengths.

Forged steel spindles with bronze centers are forged in two halves with one end
turned down to 12" diameter solid rod. This rod is force-fit into a recess drilled in the
other half of the spindle, forming a permanent assembly with a full 12" of solid steel at
the center, thereby overcoming the weakness of an assembly using a threaded stud.

ORNAMENTAL
BALUSTER BARS,
MALLEABLE IRON
Ornamental Baluster Bars of

malleable iron are cast in one
solid piece. They may be
welded, drilled and tapped or
hammer forged. The baluster
bars may even be twisted.
Many code authorities require
reduced openings in railings
where they might present a
hazard to small children. The
use of the 528/158, 534/153
and the 529/159 combinations
allow for close spacing of the
ornamental baluster bars to
meet these codes.

Bronze and nickel-silver posts are machined from solid

architectural bronze bar. 134 and 234 have a cast bronze
center ornament of matching color and are polished to a satin
finish. 131, 235 and 239 are unpolished but have a smooth
finish which is easily polished by buffing.
Steel posts 332 and 343 are hammer forged. 340 (bronze
center) and 341 (nickel-silver center) are machined with a
surface suitable for painting. Each has a cast center which is
polished to a satin finish.
Aluminum post 740 is machined from solid 6063 aluminum

rod and has a surface suitable for painting and anodizing.
Ornamental posts of malleable iron are cast in one solid
piece. They may be welded, drilled and tapped, and hammer
forged.
Because the load bearing ability of a railing is a factor of the
spacing and type of post, it is incumbent upon the designer
to determine whether the post selected will meet structural
requirements. Section data for bar stock matching the
minimum dimension of the desired post may be used with the
appropriate formulas on pages 122129 (e.g., if post 331 is
specified, use section data for a 1" solid round bar).

Forged steel spindles with decorative centers are

forged in two halves with one end turned down to
1
2" diameter solid rod. This rod is force-fit into a
recess drilled in the other half of the spindle forming a permanent assembly with a full 12" of solid
steel at the center thereby overcoming the weakness of an assembly using a threaded stud.

ORNAMENTAL
RAILING PANELS
Julius Blum & Co., Inc.s malleable iron
railing panels are also used to provide
architectural details on both stairs and
straight runs. Some of the panels have
been slightly redesigned to meet current
code requirements.
TREILLAGE
All Julius Blum & Co., Inc. treillage panels
are double faced and superbly detailed.
Because they are malleable iron, they may
be welded and bent cold and will not break
or shatter in the course of normal handling.
ORNAMENTAL COLLARS
Designed to fit over 12" or 58" square bars,
ornamental collars are a cost effective way
of providing details to a stair, fence or gate.
A wide variety of design options are
possible using a combination of ornamental
collars.
Private Residence
Design: Mark Christy Associates
Fabricator: Groll Ornamental Iron, Pittsburgh, PA
Many of the Julius Blum Treillage patterns are available in both
Aluminum and Malleable Iron. Aluminum castings are recommended
where it is important to keep weight at a minimum, as in gates or removable
screens. Otherwise, malleable iron castings are preferred for their strength
and resistance to breakage. All castings are double faced and cleanly
finished.
Aluminum items are cast from Almag 35. Anodizing of aluminum panels is
not recommended as the material will not anodize consistently and does not
match the color of anodized extruded aluminum.
Malleable Iron is similar in weight, feel and appearance to gray iron
commonly known as cast iron. Gray iron is suitable for small, simple pieces
such as post caps, or heavy, solid pieces such as manhole covers. It is not
suitable for delicate ornamental cast patterns such as scrolls and flowers.
Gray iron is brittle and shatters easily when dropped or hit and it
is subject to cracking when exposed to uneven heat during welding.
Malleable Iron will not break or shatter in the course of ordinary handling or
shipping and withstands considerable abuse. To some degree,

malleable iron castings can be bent cold and they are easily welded. The
special properties of malleable iron are produced by heat treating specially
alloyed castings in large furnaces under precisely controlled temperature
conditions for 8 to 10 days.
Malleable Iron Castings are not priced to compete with gray iron castings.
Despite the unsuitability of gray iron for intricate ornamental castings, many
ornamental patterns are offered in this cheaper material. Since the manufacture
of gray iron castings requires fewer operations than heat-treated malleable iron,
and since they are not finished with the care of Julius Blum ornamental
castings, they can be sold for less. However, breakage during shipping,
fabrication, installation and everyday use often eradicates savings due to the
initial lower cost. In the long run, its permanence and the quality of the final
product make malleable iron more desirable. When panels are assembled into
screens spanning more than three panels width or height, it is important to
provide adequate intermediate supports.

The Fannin Library at Phoenix College, Phoenix, AZ

Architect: Durrant Architects
Fabricator: Bernies Brass. Inc., Phoenix, AZ
The Carlstadt railing system features a full range of components in
aluminum, bronze, nickel-silver, stainless steel and Acrylic/Wood to meet
virtually any installation requirement. Posts and handrails may be combined
with a variety of post, wall and facia brackets to achieve a wide range of design
alternatives while meeting code and other regulatory requirements.
The Carlstadt system uses self-aligning Carlstadt handrail brackets.
Aluminum railing components are made of alloy 6063, except for cast
flanges, corner bends and floor flanges, which are cast from Almag 35.
Aluminum extrusions are produced and handled with great care for use in
architectural applications and are suitable for most of the hard coat anodic
processes. Black anodizing may result in inconstant matches. Consult your
anodizer before specifying.
Bronze components are made of extruded architectural bronze alloy C38500,
except for cast cover flanges, corner bends and terminals, which are cast from
alloy C86500.

Nickel-Silver components are extruded of alloy C79800. Nickel-silver is a

copper alloy which has the color of stainless steel with golden highlights.
Stainless Steel components are made of type 302/304 (18-8) stainless
steel. Acrylic/Wood rail is a prefinished composite material which retains all
the beauty of natural hardwood oak, walnut and ash and provides it with
a hard, lustrous acrylic surface. This is achieved through the Permagrain
Radiation Process which impregnates the wood with acrylic plastic and
hardens it by irradiation. The resulting composite has twice the resistance to
indentation and several times the resistance to abrasion as the same
hardwood finished conventionally.
Acrylic/Wood handrails are laminated from several strips so as to obtain
greater strength and continuous uniform lengths. Posts have an aluminum
spine for strength and ease of assembly. Exposed aluminum surfaces of the
post and aluminum-spined handrail have a clear anodized finish (AA-M10C22-A31). Facia mounting brackets provide concealed post fastening.

CARLSTADT RAILING AND COLORAIL SYSTEM

THE MOST VERSATILE SYSTEM FOR RAILINGS
IN ALUMINUM, BRONZE, NICKEL-SILVER, STAINLESS STEEL & ACRYLIC/WOOD
CARLSTADT RAILING
The Carlstadt railing system provides a flexible range of railing
and post components in aluminum, bronze, nickel-silver, stainless
steel and Acrylic/Wood to meet almost any installation or
code requirement. The Carlstadt railing system uses Carlstadt
self-aligning handrail brackets.
COLORAIL
Colorail plastic handrail is made of extruded polyvinyl chloride
available in 13 stock colors and 10 shapes. It is warm and pleasant
to the touch and offers economy through its ease of installation and
moderate material cost. The Colorail systemincluding aluminum
support bars, wall post brackets and framing members may be
easily integrated with other Julius Blum & Co., Inc. railing systems.
CARLSTADT ACRYLIC/WOOD
Carlstadt Acrylic/Wood posts and handrails are manufactured
from a pre-finished composite material which retains the beauty of
wood and provides a durable and lustrous acrylic surface. This
material resists fading, may be used indoors or out, and may be
easily refinished by sanding and buffing.
Acrylic/Wood contains a flame retardant to produce self-extinguishing

characteristics as per ASTM-E84. The material resists fading due to sunlight
exposure. Cut ends or surfaces damaged by dents or scratches are easily
refinished by sanding and buffing. No liquid finish is needed except on
outdoor installations.
Acrylic/Wood handrails are covered by U.S. patents.
Colorail handrail is made of extruded polyvinyl chloride which is nonflammable and highly resistant to wear, weathering and corrosion. The color
is integral with the plastic. Consult Julius Blum & Co., Inc. regarding direct
sunlight exposure.
Colorail plastic handrail is used conveniently in all types of railing systems.
It may be wall mounted, post mounted (using posts chosen from the
Carlstadt and Connectorail systems) or vertically mounted as a bumper
guard or elevator cab rail. Colorail provides an economical and practical
design solution. It is easy to install and maintain.
The Colorail system is covered by US patents.

ADAAG also allows handrails which provide an equivalent gripping surface.
ANSI117.1-98 defines this alternative: equivalent gripping surfaces are
permitted provided they have a perimeter dimension of 4 inches (100 mm)
minimum and 614 inches (160 mm) maximum and provided their largest
cross-section dimension is 214 inches (57 mm) maximum.

A clearance of 11/2" between handrail and top of post is recommended. Use bracket of sufficient length.
Surface-mounted posts should be set into floor 4 to 6 inches and grouted. A cover flange conceals the
floor embedment.
Post spacing is a function of post height, load

requirements, section modulus for post chosen, and
the posts allowable stress for design. Refer to our
engineering data on pages 122 to 131 to determine a
posts maximum allowable span.

Colorail handrail is made of extruded polyvinyl chloride plastic,

which is highly resistant to wear, weathering and corrosion. The
color is integral with the plastic and most colors are equally
durable indoors and out. Consult Julius Blum & Co. regarding
direct sunlight exposure. Colorail is readily worked with simple
tools and lends itself to a variety of installations.

Colorail has become one of the basic means of obtaining lively

color accents. Economy, durability and ease of maintenance are
among its important advantages. The vivid hues are strongly
resistant to darkening or fading and require only periodic cleaning
with a mild detergent.

Acrylic/Wood rail is a prefinished composite
material which retains all the beauty of natural
hardwood oak, walnut and ash but is
provided with a hard, lustrous acrylic surface.
This is achieved by impregnating the wood
with acrylic plastic and hardening it by
irradiation. The composite has twice the
resistance to indentation and several times the
resistance to abrasion as the same hardwood
finished conventionally.

COVER FLANGE INSTALLATION DETAILS

Post is set in metal sleeve in concrete
and grouted. Embed post to a depth
of 4" to 6" in slab. Allow for a 1" grout
pad beneath post. Sleeve should
provide ample clearance around post
for grouting cement and to allow for
adjustment to field variations. For
outdoor installations, weep holes
should be drilled in the posts to
prevent water from collecting below
ground level. A cover flange conceals
the floor opening.

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
Colorail is a thermoplastic which can be easily worked when it

is heated. Its installation is simple, requiring no special training or
tools other than a heating unit and welding iron. However, a few
points must be emphasized. The property which makes
Colorail so easy to install its plastic memory, or tendency to
return to its original shape after it cools requires special
attention during installation. The following precautions are
especially important.
over the top bar of the railing. Cut handrail long enough so
that it does not have to be stretched to fit, otherwise
Colorail may subsequently pull away from the ends.
NOTE: A great deal of time and effort may be saved by preheating the handrail. This
can be done by submerging it in hot water or by keeping it in a hot-air chamber of
sheet metal with an opening for the Colorail heating unit to heat the air inside. In
cold weather, if there is no facility for preheating, it will be helpful to keep Colorail
in a heated room before taking it to the job.
3. BENDS AND TURNS:
1. PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LENGTH: Do not cut the material

too short and then try to stretch it to fit. In such cases it will
eventually pull away from the ends of the railing leaving an
unsightly gap.
2. DO NOT BEND TOO SHARPLY: Bends and curves can be
made without difficulty but, to counteract Colorail's
tendency to return to its former shape after cooling, turning
radii should be kept as large as possible. When sharp turns
are unavoidable especially when they occur near the end of
a railing the moulding must be anchored securely to its
support. This can be done by welding a strap of the plastic
material across the underside of the rail. At rail ends a welded
cap is usually sufficient. Under no circumstances should
Colorail be bent laterally to a centerline radius of less than
three times its width, since this will cause it to buckle or lift off
its support. Possible problems in forming small radius lateral
bends can be avoided by using mitered corners.
3. PROVIDE SUFFICIENT SUPPORT: Because Colorail is
somewhat flexible even at room temperatures, it must be
given adequate support. When a handrail is supported only at
intervals, as in wall rails or parallel bar railings, the supporting
bar must be rigid enough to prevent Colorail from sagging.
An aluminum flat bar is not sufficient unless it is reinforced on
the underside. T-shaped Colorail support sections are
recommended for installations with widely spaced supports.
4. IN ESTIMATING COSTS: Allow sufficient additional time for
joints, miters and end caps.
INSTALLATION
1. CUTTING: Material can be cut with a hand saw when cold
or with a sharp knife when hot.
2. MOUNTING: When heated, the handrail becomes as soft
and pliable as rubber. Handrail is heated to not over 165F
by means of a hot-air blower. It can then be fitted easily

A. Where a bend extends to the very end of the rail as in

a wall return the following is recommended: After
bending the support bar or channel, leave 4" to 6"
beyond the length to which it will ultimately be cut. Mount
Colorail on bent piece. Reheat it to relieve stress and
permit to set for one day. Then cut off excess length,
attach cap or anchoring strap (see above) and attach to
wall brackets. The use of a suitable commercial adhesive
can sometimes eliminate the need for an end cap or an
anchor strap.
B. At stair landings, if the turn is combined with a drop, it is
advisable to accomplish the turn through twisting rather
than lateral bending. This method exerts a minimum
strain on the Colorail material and makes a smaller
radius possible.

5. CLEANING WELDS: Welding flash can easily be removed

with a knife while the material is still warm. Outside surface
should then be smoothed with a file or sandpaper.
C. At sharp turns, a strap of Colorail material should be

welded across the underside to prevent the handrail
from lifting off its support. If the bend is at the end of the
handrail, a welded end cap may be sufficient.
6. END CAPS: Cut Colorail to extend 38" to 12" beyond the
end of the support bar. Cut end cap to approximate size of
handrail section and weld to end of handrail. During welding,
hold the cap in place with a block of wood. After welding, trim
the end cap to the proper shape with a knife, then clean the
weld in the manner described above.
4. WELDING: Splices, miters and end caps can easily be

produced by welding. Square or mitered ends are pressed
simultaneously against the blade of the Colorail electric
welding iron. When the material begins to melt, the blade is
slipped out and the ends of the Colorail are pressed
together. A firm bond will result upon cooling. After each
use the welding iron must be cleaned with the wire brush
provided for this purpose. In place of the welding iron, a
wide-bladed knife heated nearly red hot may be used.
NOTE: The cross-section of gold Colorail does not match the color of the surface.
For this reason gold Colorail is often capped with a contrasting color. With any
Colorail color, a contrasting end cap will eliminate the problem of a visible weld
line.
7. FINISHING: When installation has been completed, the

handrail should be cleaned with a PVC cleaner applied with
a lint-free cloth. To obtain a permanent high-luster finish,
wipe handrail lightly with tetrahydrofuron after cleaning. It
will also remove minor scratches and abrasive marks.
NOTE: Melting during the welding process will shorten the handrail by 3 16" to 1 4",
for which allowance must be made when cutting to length. Before welding, insert a
short piece of the proper size bar near the ends of the Colorail sections which are
to be joined. This will help the plastic retain its proper shape.
After welding any Colorail other than black, a dark line may
appear at the joint. If this is objectionable, the following procedure
is recommended:
A. To insure perfect fit, carefully cut the ends to be joined,
then dress with a file so they show only a hairline when
butted together.
B. Mount handrail on supporting bar in the usual manner.
Butt the miter or splice, but weld only the prongs on the
underside of the railing.
C. Polish the top surface with tetrahydrofuron until the joint
becomes almost invisible.

CARLSTADT ACRYLIC/WOOD INSTALLATION

FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

A. CUTTING:
Because of the hardness and density of the Acrylic/Wood material
and the aluminum spine of the 8570 series moulding, metalworking equipment is best suited to cut Carlstadt Acrylic/Wood
handrail mouldings.
clean before adhesive is applied. Carefully remove all excess

adhesive immediately. Structural adhesives can be applied both
in the shop and in the field.
For accurate mating of butting pieces, holes for dowels should be
located and drilled with the aid of a doweling jig.
The mouldings can be cut on a saw using a standard metal

cutting band saw blade (10 teeth to the inch, raker set) or a high
speed cut-off saw with an alloy steel or carbide tipped blade.
To avoid chipping, apply masking tape or fiberglass reinforced,
pressure sensitive tape to the section to be cut and use a slow
to moderate feed. After cutting, use naphtha to remove
petroleum based lubricants or metal oxides from the handrail
moulding material.
D. ATTACHMENT TO SUPPORTING STRUCTURES:
Carlstadt Acrylic/Wood handrail mouldings have exceptional
screw holding power. Where fasteners smaller than 14" are
required, use Type AB sheet metal screws. Drill pilot holes the
same size as required for aluminum. For larger fasteners (14" and
up), the handrails can be drilled and tapped for machine screws.
Under no circumstances must screws be inserted without prior
drilling they will split the material.
Carlstadt Acrylic/Wood handrail mouldings can be post or wall
mounted using Carlstadt System posts and brackets, or the
mouldings can be adapted to custom designed supporting
structures.
B. SHAPING ENDS AND CORNERS:
It is easy to remove sharpness from mitered corners and shape
railing ends to form attractive, smoothly contoured terminals. For
initial rough removal of material, use a wood rasp or a belt sander
with #60 grit paper. A stationary or portable belt sander-grinder
or similar equipment works best.
Carlstadt Acrylic/Wood 8570 series mouldings must be

attached by tapping into the aluminum spine. Attachment to the
Acrylic/Wood alone could cause the facing to pull away from the
spine. Direct attachment to the metal spine insures a high
strength structural connection.
To smooth the work to a polished finish, use sanding belts with

successively finer grits in the following sequence: #100, #120,
#150, #280. With some experience, it is possible to use #120
and #280 grit sanding belts only. Following final sanding with the
#280 grit belt, buff the moulding with a clean Iambs wool pad
using an oil base lubricant such as Liquid Gold.
E. PROTECTION AND FINISHING:

Mouldings are shipped individually wrapped in a paper or plastic
sleeve, which should be left in place as long as possible for
protection.
C. FORMING MITERS AND SPLICES:

Miter joints can be used to make vertical and horizontal direction
changes. More often, independent handrails are used on each
flight without connections for changes in direction. If the
mouldings are mounted securely on a metal subrail and joints are
accurately cut, no doweled connections between adjacent
moulding sections are required.
If a metal subrail is not used, or if heavy traffic is anticipated, miter
joints and splices must be doweled and glued. The doweling and
gluing technique forms strong joints that reveal only a
circumferential hairline. Epoxy structural adhesive is available
from Julius Blum & Co., Inc. For maximum joint strength, apply
epoxy adhesive liberally to all mating surfaces and press the
handrail moulding sections firmly together. Surfaces must be

F. MAINTENANCE:
Normal maintenance requires only periodic cleaning with an oilbase furniture polish. Luster can be maintained by using light
hand buffing with a soft cloth or by mechanical buffing with a
lambs wool pad.
Nicks, scratches or burn marks can be removed by sanding
(finishing with #280 grit) and the finish restored to the original
luster by buffing.
SLEEVE ANCHOR BOLT:
The sleeve anchor bolt is an all-steel rust-proofed multi-purpose
anchor bolt intended for use in a wide range of masonry
materials. The 38" bolt is recommended for use with heavy-duty
floor flange 876. To install, drill a 38" hole in concrete or masonry
to 3" depth. Drill holes which conform to ANSI standard carbide
bit dimension (.390" to .398"). Clean out dust in hole after drilling.
Insert sleeve bolt in hole, hand tighten, then tighten with wrench
to a maximum torque of 30 ft. lbs.

Glass Mounted Handrail Adapter Kit with bronze Carlstadt bracket
For convenience and ease of reference, all of the handrail brackets which
appear in various sections of our catalog are brought together in this
section. Included are brackets for wall, post, center rail and vertical
mounting; for use with moulding or flat bars; for pipe railings; and for
specific applications such as Colorail support bars and Carlsrail and

Extruded and machined brackets are of alloy C79800. All, except as noted,
are satin finished and lacquered.
Aluminum: Cast brackets are made of high-strength alloy Almag 35

suitable for clear anodizing. Extruded and machined brackets are of alloy
6063 suitable for anodizing, including most of the hard coat anodic
processes (black anodizing may result in consistent matches; consult your
anodizer before specifying). All, except as noted, are satin finished. Pipe rail
brackets are stocked with a clear anodized finish AA-M32-C22-A31
(204R1) as well as plain. Aluminum brackets cover a wide range of
applications, including wall and post mounted brackets, brackets for
center rails and brackets for vertical mounting of rails or panels.
Bronze: Cast brackets are made of alloy C86500 for close color match
with extruded architectural bronze C38500 and red brass C23000.

HANDRAIL BRACKETS
WALL, BUSHING AND POST BRACKETS
CARLSTADT SELF-ALIGNING WALL BRACKETS

These wall brackets, available in aluminum,
bronze, nickel-silver and stainless steel, are selfaligning. Once the concealed wall attachment is
made, the bracket yoke which attaches to
the handrail rotates freely until the chosen

handrail is properly aligned. Various styles are
available to coordinate with different handrail
styles and with pipe.
CAST, STAMPED AND EXTRUDED WALL BRACKETS

These wall brackets are more traditional in style
and may be used in a multitude of applications.
The various styles allow for concealed fastening or
by attachment with a single 38" mounting bolt

through the wall flange center.
CARLSTADT SELF-ALIGNING POST BRACKETS

Post brackets, available in aluminum, bronze,
nickel-silver and stainless steel, are postmounted variations of the Carlstadt wall
brackets. A solid post is prepared by drilling
and tapping to provide a match to the 12"
stainless stud included as part of the
bracket. The stainless stud may be replaced

with a post bracket hanger bolt for attachment to
a wood post. Hollow posts require a clear hole to
be drilled with a tapped post cap or anchor plug
inserted to accept the stud.
VERTICAL MOUNTING BRACKETS

The mounting brackets are useful for mounting
handrails vertically as in an elevator cab or hospital
corridor. These brackets are often used with
wood handrails, vertically mounted. They are

GLASS MOUNTING AND VERTICAL BRACKETS

VERTICAL MOUNTING BRACKET Satin Finish
Handrail may be mounted to the face of tempered glass balustrades using a

combination of the Carlstadt wall brackets and our new glass mounting adapter
kit. The kit contains a disc with a 38" stud weld, a bushing and two gaskets.
TO ASSEMBLE: Prior to tempering, drill a 58" clear hole in the glass (do not
attempt to drill a hole in tempered glass it will most likely break);
insert the bushing in the hole; insert the stud welded disc with gasket through
the bushing; place the gasket on the other side; thread on bracket and tighten.

ELEVATOR CAB COMPONENTS
HANDRAIL MOULDINGS AND MOUNTING BRACKETS
HANDRAILS AND BRACKETS
Julius Blum & Co., Inc. stocks a large variety of handrail mouldings
and brackets for horizontal and vertical mounting in elevator cabs.
Matching elbows and end caps are available for most sections.
Handrail sections are supplied with a smooth mill finish suitable for
architectural finishes.
SADDLES
Elevator and Door Saddles are available in aluminum, bronze,
nickel-silver and steel. Flat fluted sections may be combined with
single or double speed saddles to extend width. Saddle alloy
matches handrail alloy.
MOULDINGS
A variety of other architectural mouldings are available. These
mouldings provide for alternative methods of glass framing or door
edging. Stair nosings in bronze and aluminum are also available
from stock. Several styles are frequently used in restoration work.
TUBING, BARS AND SHAPES

A wide selection of tubing, bars, and shapes in aluminum, bronze,
steel, nickel-silver and stainless steel are available from stock.
Shapes are extruded to high tolerances and have the sharp corners
required for architectural work. Angles and tees are used frequently
in dropped ceilings and other parts of elevator cabs.
This section contains details on the Julius Blum & Co. components which are
of particular use in the assembly of elevator cabs. Included are Elevator
Door Saddles and Flat Fluted Sections in aluminum, bronze and nickelsilver, and handrail mouldings and brackets which are suitable for vertical
mounting.
Aluminum components are of alloy 6063 extrusions are T52 temper while
machined brackets are T6 temper. When properly fabricated, they are
suitable for anodizing, including most of the hard coat anodic processes.
Black anodizing may result in inconsistent matches consult your anodizer
before specifying.
Bronze components are of extruded architectural bronze alloy, C38500.
Nickel-Silver saddles, fluted sections and handrail are extruded from
copper-nickel-zinc alloy, C79800.
Stainless Steel components are made of Type 302/304 (18-8)
stainless steel.
All brackets are satin finished.

Acrylic/Wood handrail mouldings in oak, walnut and ash are

impregnated with acrylic plastic according to the Permagrain Radiation
Process. This provides a hard surface and permanent finish which has twice
the resistance to indentation and several times the resistance to abrasion as
the same hardwood finished conventionally. It is laminated from several strips
so as to obtain greater strength and continuous uniform lengths. For more
information, see page 54.
Colorail handrail is made of extruded polyvinyl chloride non-flammable
and highly resistant to wear, weathering and corrosion. It is available in thirteen
stock colors Black Satin, Black Glossy, White, Dove Gray, Dark Gray, Gold,
Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Beige, Brown and Mauve and ten shapes (refer to
pages 58 and 59 for shapes and approximate color samples).
Refer to pages 102 to 121 for our full range of tubing, bars and shapes in
aluminum, bronze, nickel-silver, steel and stainless steel.

TUBING, BARS AND SHAPES
STOCK SIZES AND ELEMENTS OF SECTIONS
Our extensive stock of tubing, bars and shapes in aluminum, bronze, nickel-silver,
steel and stainless steel has been selected especially to meet the requirements of
ornamental and miscellaneous metal work. All items are carried in stock in
substantial quantities and shipment is usually made promptly upon receipt of order.
All tubing, bars and shapes are supplied in stock lengths with a mill finish, except
as noted. Julius Blum & Co., Inc. does not provide cutting or metal finishing
services.
Nickel-Silver shapes are extruded from C79800. Nickel-silver is a copper/nickel

alloy and contains no silver. When polished, nickel-silver has the appearance of
stainless steel with golden highlights.
Aluminum architectural shapes, bars and tubes are extruded from alloy 6063T52, except as noted. These items have a smooth, uniform surface and, when
properly fabricated, are suitable for anodizing including most of the hard coat
anodic processes. Black anodizing may result in inconsistent matches. Consult
your anodizer before specifying. Aluminum extrusions are packed in bundles of
approximately 100 lbs. which are wrapped and paper interleaved at the mill.
Ordering in full bundles ensures surface quality and speeds shipping from our
warehouse. Aluminum Structural shapes are extruded from alloy 6061-T6.
Steel tubing, angles and channels are carbon steel C1010, except as noted.
Mechanical welded tubing is hot rolled, pickled and annealed. It has a clean, bright
surface and is suitable for use where dimensional accuracy and straightness are
essential. Cold rolled channel and angle have a square root and square edge.
Bronze tubing, bars and shapes are of extruded alloy C38500, architectural
bronze. Round pipe is drawn alloy C23000, red brass. When polished, red brass
will provide a generally acceptable match to architectural bronze.

Stainless Steel shapes are type 304 (18-8), except as noted. True bars have
sharp corners and are not sheered from plate. Stainless steel tubing is of ornamental grade with a smooth surface which is simple to polish.
All extrusions are produced and handled with great care to assure a product well
suited for architectural finishing. Items are thoroughly protected for shipment by
wrapping and/or crating, with the exception of aluminum structural and steel
shapes, which are normally shipped in strapped bundles. Elements of sections are
shown alongside each item in this section. This data has been ascertained with
care but cannot be guaranteed. For additional engineering information, see pages
122 to 131.

ENGINEERING DATA
A greater concern for safety has caused code authorities and

other regulatory agencies to include more stringent structural
requirements for railings, handrails and guardrails in their codes
and regulations. Julius Blum & Co., Inc. has been aware of the
importance of safety in railing construction for many years and
has been a pioneer in the compilation and dissemination of easily
applied engineering data for the structural design of railing systems since 1965.
A testing program was instituted to confirm the structural
soundness of Julius Blum & Co., Inc. railing components and,
whenever necessary, mounting devices and connections were redesigned to improve their performance. Test results are available
upon request.
The information contained in these pages is applicable not only
to Julius Blum railing systems but to all kinds of guardrails and
handrails of whatever design.
Engineering data has been developed in cooperation with various
manufacturers, engineering consultants and trade associations
and, while published values have been determined with care,
their accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Availability of complete structural information enables architects
and designers to make proper use of Blums component systems
to provide safe, durable handrail installations. The designer can
engineer installations to conform to specific building code loading
criteria or can establish design requirements for a given
installation on the basis of anticipated traffic exposure.
The five major considerations for the structural design of
handrails are:
1. Structural loading criteria as established by governing
building codes or special design requirements.
2. Properties of railing materials and allowable stresses for
design.
3. Elements of sections for railing components.
4. Load, stress and deflection relationships expressed as
formulas for engineering design.
5. Proper attachment and sound supporting structure.
CODE REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS
Structural requirements for railings usually are expressed in one
of two ways, depending on governing codes and regulations.
Some of these specify an applied loading distributed uniformly
along the rail while others specify loading concentrated on the
top rail. The designer should consult governing codes, local
ordinances, project specifications and regulatory authorities
to determine requirements for compliance.
HANDRAIL SIZE
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed as a
civil rights law in 1992. The ADA . . .requires that all new places
of public accommodation and commercial facilities be
designed and constructed so as to be readily accessible to and
usable by persons with disabilities . . . . The ADAAG Manual,
a guide to the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility
Guidelines printed in July 1998, had updated and clarified its
position on handrail size. Section 4.26.2 Size and Spacing of
Grab Bars and Handrails states in part: . . . Standard IPS
pipe designated by 114 to 112 inch is acceptable.
Recommendation:
Consider a 114 inch specification for pipe since a 112 inch
specification may result in an outer diameter close to 2 inches.
Many local inspectors might not be aware of this clarification and
still reject pipe railings. Be aware that many states and
municipalities are incorporating ADAAG into their building codes,
making consulting your local authorities regarding their position
imperative.
800 526 6293
In October of 1998, the American National Standards

Institute (ANSI) in conjunction with the International Code
Council (ICC) produced a building code document ICC/ANSI
117.1-1998: Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities.
This code revision is very specific concerning accessible
handrailing size.
Section 505 Handrails specifies:
505.7 Cross Section. Handrails shall have a circular crosssection with an outside diameter of 114 inch (32 mm) minimum
and 2 inch (51 mm) maximum, or shall provide equivalent
graspability in accordance with Section 505.7.1.
505.7.1 Non-Circular Cross Sections. Handrails with other
shapes shall be permitted provided they have a perimeter
dimension of 4 inches (100 mm) minimum and 614 inches
(160 mm) maximum, and provided their largest crosssection dimension is 214 inches (57 mm) maximum.
Refer to page iii for more information
ALLOWABLE STRESSES
To provide adequate safety factors, the engineering profession
assigns to each material an allowable design stress which is
usually expressed as a specific fraction of minimum yield, or
sometimes as a smaller fraction of minimum ultimate strength.
Allowable stresses vary with the composition and temper of the
material and also, to some degree, with the kind of shape and the
direction of stress.
Yield strength is the point of stress (in pounds per square inch) at
which material fails to return to its original position after the stress
has been removed and takes a permanent set. Minimum yield is
defined as the test value exceeded by 99% of a large number of
specimens. For non-ferrous metals, the yield point is arbitrarily
defined as the point of stress at which permanent set is a specific
fraction of 1% of the length of the test piece (0.2% offset as
shown below or 0.5% elongation). Ultimate strength is
considerably higher (see graph).

TEST DATA
In a typical test of a railing designed to meet allowable stress,
permanent deformation will occur at approximately twice the
design load, and failure will usually occur at about 212 times the
design load.
Mounting and connecting devices such as brackets and facia
flanges have been tested to determine that they will sustain the
load to which they may be subjected by the members they are
designed to support.
For example, wall bracket No. 384 was tested in pairs, spaced 7"
on centers. Designed for a load of 200 lbs., it was found that
whether the load is applied at 90 or 180 to the wallno
permanent set was recorded until the applied load exceeded 800
lbs. The failure load for this bracket pair averaged 985 lbs. which

is 2.46 times the design load. In tests of other brackets, the
majority did not fail at all and loading was terminated at a
common point. Copies of test reports are available upon
request.

ELEMENTS OF SECTIONS
The section properties of handrail mouldings, posts, handrail
support sections, and post reinforcing inserts are listed on page
125. Section properties for other shapes, bars and tubing are
shown on pages 103 to 121.
(see page 124 for definition of symbols)

The Stiffness Ratio (R) is determined as:
R=
GENERAL NOTE: The engineering data supplied apply to

straight run railing with uniform post spacing. For installations
where a railing is braced laterally by changes in direction or
attachment to other structures, bending moments may be
reduced significantly. However, since the variety of possible
installation conditions is virtually limitless, only the basic,
statically determinate condition is considered here. Its
application provides conservative design values for all
situations.
If one or both ends of the railing are free standing, the end loaded
condition must be assumed. If both ends of the run are laterally
braced by a change in direction or attachment to a firm structure,
the center loaded load proportion factor may be used.
Note: If end posts differ from intermediate posts in strength,
the load distribution pattern becomes indeterminate and end
posts should then be designed to carry 100% of the
concentrated load. Intermediate
posts may then be designed to
the center loaded condition.

The Stiffness Ratio is then plotted on the graph to obtain a Load

Proportion Factor (Pf). When the load proportion factor has been
determined, it is multiplied by the total load to determine the load
one post must sustain.
LOAD DISTRIBUTION
The graph below is used to determine railing load distribution. It
has been determined by computer analysis and confirmed by
laboratory test. The formula used in determining the graph
assumes that all posts are of identical material and section.

When posts and rails are of

identical material and section (as
in pipe railing), and post spacing
varies between 3 and 6 feet while
post height is between 30 and 42
inches, load distribution is fairly
uniform. In this situation, the
greatest proportion of a
concentrated load carried by any
post can be estimated as follows:
End posts:
2 span railing
3 or more spans
Pf = 0.85
Pf = 0.82
Intermediate posts:
2 span railing
3 or more spans
Pf = 0.65
Pf = 0.60
Thus, if a 200 lb concentrated

load is specified for a pipe railing,
actual design load to be applied
at the top of the end post is .82
200 lb (164 lb) while design load
to be applied to intermediate
posts is .60 200 lb (120 lb).
If railing posts are reinforced, the
load proportion factor for posts is
about 3 percentage points higher.

K = 8 for one or two spans

K = 9.5 for three or more
spans of a continuous rail
Note: Values of K are defined based on the maximum bending moment

developed under various numbers of spans.
POSTS: Posts act as vertical cantilever beams in resisting

horizontal thrust applied at the top rail. Bending moment
produced by horizontal thrust normally controls design and post
spacing may be calculated using the following equations.

2. For concentrated horizontal loading (Fh ):

When concentrated loading is specified, the horizontal
load on the top rail is distributed among several posts
adjacent to the point of loading. The load distribution is a
function of the relative stiffness of post and top rail and of
the number of spans in the railing. For a straight run of
railing it may be calculated with the aid of the graph on
page 123. This calculation will show what proportion (Pf )
of the total load any one post may have to sustain. To the
extent that it is less than 100%, it will justify the use of
lighter and more economical construction. The following
equation applies:

INTERNALLY REINFORCED POSTS

The load-carrying capacity of a post with reinforcing insert is
limited by the allowable fibre stress at one of three points.
1. The post at the top of the insert, above which it is
not reinforced.
2. The insert at its base, at the highest point of its
attachment to the supporting structure.
3. The post at the same point of attachment.
The lowest of these three loading limits controls design for the
combined post and reinforcing insert.
BENDING MOMENTS AND STRESSES

Determination of bending moments and stress in structural railing
members follows conventional engineering design procedures.
The resisting momentcalculated from the Section Modulus (S,
which equals I/C) and Allowable Design Stress (fs)must equal
the Applied Bending Moment (M).
I
fs = S fs = M
C
This translates into railing formulas as described below.
RAILS: Connections between posts and rails are assumed to be
free to pivot. Distribution of loads through multiple spans
decreases maximum bending moment in horizontal members.
The effect of different numbers of spans may be taken into
account by varying the Bending Moment Constant (K).
Calculation of Unit Stress (f) and Length of Span (L) are
accomplished by using the following formulas:

At the point of contact between the railing post and the
reinforcing insert, the deflection of each is assumed to be the

of Inertia (I) and Modulus of Elasticity (E). The resultant
combined Reaction Force (Fr) at the top of the insert is
determined as follows:

DEFLECTION CONSIDERATIONS
Excessive deflection of a railing under load, even though it meets
strength requirements, will give the user a feeling of insecurity and
may cause tripping or stumbling.
Lateral deflection of posts or vertical deflection of horizontal rails
under load are computed as followsthese formulas must be
used with caution:
For posts without reinforcing insert:

COMBINED HANDRAIL SECTIONS

When two sections of the same metal are combined by being
fastened together to form a handrail (e.g. a steel moulding
mounted on a steel channel), the sections develop the same
deflection under load but act independently about their
respective neutral axes.

Ia and lb are the moments of inertia of the two sections. Since the
Section Modulus (S) equals I/C, the combined value for S of the
two sections would be:
I +I
(Cmax is either Ca or Cb,
S= a b
Cmax
whichever is greater)
In the railing formulas, substitute the above equation for the value
of S whenever combined sections of the same material are used.
COMBINED SECTIONS OF DISSIMILAR MATERIALS
To compute the loading of combined sections of dissimilar
materials (e.g. a bronze handrail mounted on a steel channel)
calculations involve the determination of the relative portion of the
load carried by each section. The load distribution is a function of
the relative stiffness of the two sections, which is determined by
the Moments of Inertia (I) and their Moduli of Elasticity (E). The
distribution of the total load between two sections is determined
as follows:
Total Load
Load Carried by A =
E I
1+ b b
Ea Ia
Load Carried by B = Total Load Total Load Carried by A
For rails (uniform load, w):

=
5 w 12 L4
for simple spans
384 E I
w 12 L4
for two or more spans
145 E I
There are few, if any, regulations or code requirements limiting

deflection in a railing but ASTM has put forth the following criteria
regarding Maximum Allowable Deflection (max) in their
specification E985.
For horizontal load at midspan:
max = h 24 + L 96
For horizontal load at top of post:
max = h 12
For vertical load at midspan:
y
cxa
cxb
max = L 96
xa
B
xb
In many instances, the anchorage of the railing to the floor, tread

or facia is subject to a degree of rotation which will add an
indeterminate amount to the deflection on the post and rail.
Anchorage and supporting structure must be as secure and
rigid as possible.
y
Individual calculation to determine the fibre stress for each
material, using the load portion of each section, will then
determine which section controls design; namely, the section
giving the lesser result (see example 6 on page 129).

ENGINEERING DATAEXAMPLE PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
128
These sample problems demonstrate how engineering data

provided by Julius Blum & Co. Inc. can be used to obtain
solutions to practical handrail design problems. Problems are
solved by equating the maximum bending moment resulting from
applied loading to the resisting moment determined from
geometrical section properties and allowable stress. This method
can be used to obtain solutions for most installation and loading
conditions.

EXAMPLE 6: UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED LOAD.

COMBINED HANDRAIL SECTION OF DISSIMILAR MATERIALS
DESCRIPTION:
Stair railing of steel balusters,
mounted between steel
channel top and bottom
rails, attached to square
steel posts, with a bronze
handrail.
REQUIREMENTS:
Loading, w = 50 lb./ft.,
horizontal and vertical.
Railing height, h = 34" at
stair, 42" at landings.
Post spacing, L = 40"; 3 or more spans in each run.
Handrail moulding: #4530, bronze C38500
fs = 9,700 psi; Ix = .023 in4; Cx = .444 in.; E = 14 106 psi

Design meets code structural requirements.
Note: Resistance to vertical loading of upper and lower steel channels is additive.
Therefore the value of Ixs is doubled. The additional resistance to vertical load by
the truss action of the balusters has not been considered, making the result of
the calculation more conservative.

NOTE ON WELDED PIPE RAILINGS

An important consideration for welded pipe railings is the effect of
welding heat on the structural properties of aluminum handrail
pipe. For example, extruded pipe of aluminum alloy 6063-T52
has an allowable design stress of 11,300 psi. After welding, the
allowable stress must be reduced to 8,000 psi within 1" of the
weld. Since maximum bending moment generally occurs at
points of support or attachment, the reduced stress will often
control design. This consideration does not apply to non-welded
Connectorail.

LOADING TABLES
The values tabulated in the following page apply to installations
fabricated and erected in accordance with Connectorail
specifications and using Connectorail components exclusively.
Chart values have been determined by assuming that reinforcing
inserts are included with facia mounted railings and with railings
set into the floor, except where no insert is indicated.
For these tables, various post heights have been selected arbitrarily. Values of maximum post spacing for other post heights
can be interpolated easily.
When Connectorail posts are surface mounted on floors,
treads or stringers, using a floor flange, the entire bending moment of the post is transferred to the reinforcing insert and the
allowable post loading has to be computed accordingly. The
allowable load will be determined by the resisting moment of the
reinforcing insert alone or the unreinforced post above the insert
(h h1), whichever is less.

relocated in 1953 and the warehouse has since expanded to its
current size of 80,000 sq. ft.
Julius Blum's nephews, Bill Thurnauer and Walter Blum, took the
helm following World War II and it remains a family business to
this day with Walter Blum as president.
Despite our growth and the changes in the industry over the
years, we have not lost sight of Julius Blum's desire to serve his
customers by carrying quality materials in stock and in
substantial quantities and providing prompt service.
QUALITY CONTROL
Providing quality material has always been a tradition at Blum.
The majority of our items are purchased for architectural use
where finish is of prime importance. All items stocked by Blum
are purchased, stored and shipped with this in mind.
IN STOCK PROMPT SHIPMENT

Over the years, the Julius Blum & Co., Inc. catalog has become
the bible of the architectural metal trades. Published every four
to five years, our hard-cover catalog not only contains our full
line of stock components for architectural metal work but also
includes an indispensible engineering data section to aid in the
design of structurally sound railing systems.
In addition to publishing this catalog, we also publish an annual
brochure which is inserted in the Sweet's General Building and
Renovation volumes Section 05720/BLL. That brochure is a
condensed version of this book but it will contain new items that
have appeared since the publication of Catalog 17.
Our Catalog 17CD-ROM is enclosed with this book. In addition
to all information available in the print catalog, the CD contains
downloadable CAD drawings of all Julius Blum products as well
as the complete Guide Specifications in Word or Word Perfect
formats. Our website, www.juliusblum.com, contains even
more information concerning new products, photos of completed
projects and links to building code authorities and professional
organizations of importance to the railing industry. We hope that
our website will continue to grow in response to the needs of
those who use it.
Dimensions, weights and technical data published in this
catalog have been ascertained with care but cannot be
guaranteed. Details and availability are subject to change. A
call to our toll-free number will bring a prompt answer to any
question about Blum materials.
HISTORY
Julius Blum & Co., Inc. was founded by Julius Blum in a
Manhattan basement in 1910. Initially his business was limited to
ornamental iron for local fabricators. Bronze handrails and door
saddles were added in the 1920's, aluminum handrails in 1930
and a full line of bronze items in 1948.
The company outgrew its quarters, so a 40,000 sq. ft. warehouse
Julius Blum & Co., Inc. is unique in the industry. While most
companies choose to maintain minimal stock, we have always
had substantial quantities on hand of every item we show in our
catalog. We take pride in prompt service and we generally ship
within a few days of receiving an order.
SHIPPING & PACKAGING

All components are produced and handled with great care and
protected for shipment by wrapping and/or crating to assure a
product well suited for architectural work.
Aluminum bars, angles, channels and tubing,
except for structural shapes, are stocked in
Paper
bundles of approximately 100
wrapped
pounds. These bundles are mill
wrapped with paper interleaving to
protect the surface during storage
and shipment.
Small package shipments are made
Aluminum
Paper
via UPS. All other shipments are by
interleaving
common carrier, FOB New Jersey.
FABRICATION
Julius Blum & Co., Inc. supplies stock materials only and does not
offer custom design, fabricating or installing services. It has always
been our philosophy never to compete with our customers!
If you need some help finding a fabricator, we are always happy to
recommend firms in your area which are familiar with our products.
FINISHES
Except as noted, all items in our catalog are supplied in a mill
finish. Additional polishing, painting or anodizing of these items
is not handled by Blum and would be performed by a
professional polisher/finisher or the fabricator. The National
Association of Architectural Metal Manufacturers (NAAMM) has
an excellent metal finishing manual to assist in specifying
architectural finishes. Contact them at 312-332-0405 or
www.naamm.org for a copy.

BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS
FITTINGS
Building code requirements and safety rules vary from one locality
and from one type of structure to another, and are subject to
periodic revision. Therefore it is incumbent upon designers to
acquaint themselves and comply with the various codes and
regulations governing each project.
Julius Blum & Co., Inc. carries a wide range of fittings designed
to match with our Connectorail system pipe and our traditional
handrail styles. Due to differences in designs and tolerances, our
fittings will not necessarily match with similar handrail and pipe
supplied by others.
HANDRAIL & GUARDRAIL
BRONZE VS. BRASS
Julius Blum & Co., Inc. has always stocked a wide range of
handrail mouldings to suit many needs and conditions, but not
all Blum handrails are suitable for all applications. Accessibility
standards and code authorities often have dimensional
limitations on handrail size which eliminate larger handrail
mouldings from consideration. Confirm whether size limitations
apply to your installation before specifying.
Most building codes differentiate between handrail and
guardrail. Handrails are generally defined as being used for
guidance and support while the purpose of guardrails is to
resist accidental falls. Handrail
heights are commonly between
34" and 38", while guardrails are
1135
42" in height.
One of the constant questions we get is, What is the

difference between bronze and
brass?
Brass and bronze are both copper
alloys. In fact, architectural bronze is
a sub-classification of brass
sometimes referred to as leaded
brass. Blum stocks extrusions in
architectural bronze, C38500, exclusively.
We stock architectural bronze for several reasons:
1. It has a rich golden color as opposed to brass, which is more
yellow in color.
2. It is more malleable than brass, making it easier to work with.
3. Architectural bronze tubing is extruded with a thicker wall
(between .100" to .125" thick) than you will find in brass
(usually .062" thick) making it a stronger section and better
suited for bending.
All of our cast fittings and brackets are cast in alloy C86500 while
our drawn pipe is stocked in alloy C23000 both of these alloys
are considered a color match for architectural bronze. As
mentioned above, our cast handrail fittings will not necessarily
match with handrail supplied by others.
112" pipe
There is often a requirement that a

guardrail have a handrail included
as well.
42"
224
307
FABRICATING STAINLESS STEEL

36"
The detail to the right shows a glass

railing used as a guardrail. The 312"
cap rail is at a height of 42" too 12"
high and too large for use as a glass
handrail. A 112" pipe handrail section
is mounted at a proper handrail
height of 36". The handrail is
mounted using a 307 bracket and a
224 glass mounting adapter kit.
The tempered glass must be drilled
prior to tempering to permit use of
the 224 (see page 7 for more
information).
STRUCTURAL STRENGTH AND TESTING

In recent years, load requirements for handrails and guardrails
have increased significantly. It is important to perform the
appropriate calculations to determine the suitability of your
chosen handrail and support system.
For example: many of our ornamental handrail sections, while
well suited for mounting above a picket rail, would tend to exhibit
too much vertical deflection when wall mounted at a standard
bracket spacing of 4'-0". Bracket spacing would have to be
reduced dramatically, or a structural support bar added
underneath the handrail, to allow for better bracket spacing.
Blum railing systems have been developed to meet industry
standards and code safety requirements when railings are
designed in accordance with engineering data and instructions
provided in this catalog. Handrail brackets and facia mountings
have been tested thoroughly. Copies of test reports are available
upon request.

Care should be taken when working with stainless steel so as not

to contaminate the stainless with ferrous particles. This will occur
if the stainless is fabricated using steel or iron tools (i.e. steel files
or steel wool). Ferrous particles from steel tools will embed
themselves in the stainless steel and will eventually start to rust,
which makes it seem that the stainless is rusting. Recovery
of the finish is possible with appropriate chemical washes, but
proper fabrication will serve to avoid the problem.
NICKEL-SILVER
Julius Blum & Co., Inc. is proud to have reintroduced nickelsilver to the architectural marketplace. When finished, nickelsilver has the appearance of stainless steel with golden
highlights. Like bronze, it is a copper alloy which, if left
unprotected will oxidize although at a much slower rate. Nickelsilver is best cold-worked and may crack when worked at high
temperatures. Chemical composition is 47.7% copper, 40.9%
zinc, 7.4% nickel, 2% manganese and 2% lead. Samples are
available upon request.
THE FUTURE AT BLUM

We have always taken pride in the quality of our printed catalog
and, as the information technology moves forward, so shall we.

CONSTRUCTION CODES AND STANDARDS

Like all other aspects of building construction, handrails, balusters
and guards must conform to various regulatory requirements.
Unfortunately, the requirements are not uniform and, therefore, they
must be verified for the jurisdiction in which a project is located.
Generally, one or more of the following model codes will be enforced.
Building Officials and Code Administrators (BOCA)
National Building Code
International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO)
Uniform Building Code
Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI)
Standard Building Code
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 101 Life
Safety Code
The International Code Council (ICC), [BOCA, ICBO and SBCCI]
has collaborated on the development of a single model building code
entitled the International Building Code 2000 (IBC). Additionally, a
separate code will be published for one and two family dwellings and
attached single family dwellings not exceeding three stories entitled
the International Residential Code (IRC). The first editions of these
codes will be available in January 2000. It is anticipated that the IBC
and the IRC will gradually replace the current model building codes in
the United States.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

In addition to the applicable building code, the requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) adopted by Congress in 1992
must be complied with. This law requires that all new and certain
existing places of public accommodation and commercial facilities be
designed and constructed to be accessible to and usable by persons
with disabilities.
OPENINGS IN GUARDS AND SPACING OF

BALUSTERS
Another issue of recent regulatory concern has been the subject of
openings in guards, the spacing of balusters and the creation of a
ladder effect that could contribute to falls by children. This has
resulted in codes establishing maximum opening requirements in
guards. The codes generally state, open guards shall have balusters
or be of solid material such that a sphere with a diameter of 4 inches
cannot pass through any opening. However, the local code must be
consulted as the location or use group wherein the stair or guard is
located can effect where the 4 inch requirement applies. There are
also variations in the minimum opening between the bottom rail and

Through the effort of the Building Code Modernization Council, the

model building codes, the Life Safety Code and ICC/ANSI A117.1-98
similar requirements for handrail size are described below:
Circular Cross Section. Handrails shall have a circular cross
section with an outside diameter of 114 inch (32mm) minimum
and 2 inches (51mm) maximum, or shall provide equivalent
graspability.
Non-Circular Cross Section. Handrails with other shapes shall
be permitted provided they have a perimeter dimension of
4 inches (100 mm) minimum and 6 14 inches (160 mm)
maximum, and provided their largest cross-section dimension is
214 inches (57 mm) maximum.
HANDRAIL CLEARANCE
In recent years, the amount of finger clearance for handrails has been
the subject of regulatory discussion and some variation of the
traditional 112 inches of clearance to a wall has been made. Emphasis
has been placed on ascertaining that the required clearance is a
minimum dimension and therefore at stucco, brick or sheet rock walls,
handrail brackets may have to be adjusted to account for the surface
variations of these materials. It should be noted that 1996 BOCA
National Building Code requires 214 inches of clearance to a wall at
stairways.
Another current regulatory issue has been
finger clearance from handrail brackets.
112" min 114" to 2"
Currently, the National Building Code,
1996 edition, and NFPA 101 Life Safety
Code, 1997 edition, require 1 inch
clearance from the bottom of the handrail
to the horizontal extension of the bracket.
The 2000 edition of NFPA101 will require
112 inches of clearance to the bracket. The
International Building Code--2000 edition
112" min
also specifies 112 inch clearance from the
bottom of the handrail to the handrail
bracket. The ICC/ANSI A117.1-1998
requires 212 inches of clearance to the
handrail bracket. It is hoped the A117.1-98
requirement will be revised to coincide with
the requirements of the IBC 2000 in the
near future. However, until then it is
recommended you consult the authority
having jurisdiction as to the applicability of A117.1-98.

The Americans with Disabilities Act adopted by Congress in 1992

required handrails to be 114 inch minimum and 112 inch maximum.
However, the US Architectural and Transportation Barriers
Compliance Board published the ADAAG Manual A Guide to the
Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines July 1998
has now properly clarified the intent of the dimensional requirements
to be 114 inches minimum to a nominal 2 inch maximum. It should be
noted that Section 4.26.2 Size and Spacing of Grab Bars and
the floor, and the triangular opening formed by the riser, tread and
bottom rail at the open side of a stairway. Consult the local authority
having jurisdiction regarding the size of openings in guards and
between balusters.
STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS
Structural requirements for handrails, guardrails and grab bars are
frequently expressed in two ways. An applied loading distributed
uniformly along the rail and nonconcurrently a concentrated load
applied at any point along the top rail. The designer should consult the
governing codes, local ordinance, project specifications and
regulatory authorities to determine specific structural requirements.
An excellent source of design load requirements can be found in
ASCE/ANSI 7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other
Structures published by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The information on this page is intended to be helpful to architects
and specifiers. However it is imperative to contact the appropriate
local code authority for current information.
