Galvanised Handrail Systems Standards

Fastclamp galvanised handrail systems fittings are manufactured from malleable iron castings to BS EN 1562 or ductile iron (where noted in the fittings description) to BS EN 1563. Fastclamp fittings are used to construct lightweight tubular steel structures and are manufactured to suit five different tube sizes, the sizes can be found in an early paragraph on this Blog. All Fastclamp galvanised handrail systems require no welding, drilling or special tools, simply use a hexagon key to tighten the special setscrews that embed into the tube. Fastclamp fittings will support an axial load of up to 900kg when tightened to a torque of 39Nm.

The Fastclamp range of castings are hot dip galvanised to BS EN 1461 as standard. Fastclamp fittings can also be supplied in a powder-coated finish to RAL standard colours, subject to quantity and availability from coaters; we can arrange RAL standard colours powder-coated tube to BS EN 10255:2004 if required. Please contact our sales team for more information. Fastclamp fittings are suitable for use with steel tubes to BS EN 10255:2004 with a minimum wall thickness of 3.2mm, however please note that internal fittings types: CO1, CO6, C65, DDA-02 and DDA-06 are only designed for use with 3.2mm thick tube.

Galvanised Handrail Systems Defender Roof Edge Protection

Versatility is key when ordering galvanised handrail systems and the availability of Defender roof edge protection systems just confirms this premise. Defender roof edge protection systems operate on a counterbalance principle using curved PVC counterweights as the main component. A galvanised malleable iron foot with a protective rubber base supports the handrail posts; this includes an integral toe-plate facility which is a fundamental requirement if there is no perimeter edge up-stand. All systems feature 1100mm tall factory preassembled uprights that include open cradle fittings allowing the handrail tube to be quickly dropped into place instead of the time-consuming process of the tube being fed through several fittings as required with other systems, speeding up assembly and saving cost.

Fastclamp fittings from our galvanised handrail systems range are used in the construction of Defender roof edge protection. The system is free-standing, with no requirements for fixings or drilling and subsequently no repair to the roof membrane, suitable for flat roofs up to 3° pitch. The Defender roof edge protection systems can be configured to satisfy the requirements of BS EN ISO 14122 part 3 or the load-deflection requirements of BS EN 13374 Class A.
