Technical Details
Base Plate Fixings Sphere fixings
Base plates for Standard monowills stanchions require 2-M-16 bolts. Rails should be fixed to spheres at least every 3m. by welding.
(17.5 holes.)
Base plates for Jumbo stanchions require 4-M-16 bolts. (20 holes.)

stanchion.

Rail fixings Expansion joints

All rails should preferably be jointed within the stanchion sphere.
Where this is done then the slip joint can be omitted if the pipe is welded
to the sphere. Where that is not possible the joint should occur in the
outer quarters of the span between stanchions with a slip joint.
Slip joints can be kept in position for steel stanchions with
• Welding
• Taper pins
• Screws
In long runs of railings expansion joints are required. Expansion joints
should be in the outside quarters of the span . Expansion joints are made
by fixing one side of a slip joint and allowing the other side to be free.
Kickplate
Kickplate can be welded or bolted to the kickplate mounting bracket.
Stanchion spacings
Stanchions are spaced at nominally 2m or as specified.

 Installation Details

End caps Curved rails

Monowills can be terminated with end caps This method is sometimes Curved handrails are rolled to the radius specified. Curved rails should be
used when the handrail terminates at a wall or solid object. This is instead erected as for straight runs but in some instances the stanchions will
of an end closure. End caps are pressed onto the open pipe and must be need to be placed loose on the rail before it is placed in position.
placed once the pipe is through the stanchion spheres.

DOSO Stanchion
DOSO stands for drilled one side only and these stanchions are usually
used against a wall or solid object or at a gate or ladder access point,
replacing an end closure. Handrail should be installed working away
from the DOSO stanchion.
Corner posts (PC)
A corner post stanchion can be used at 90 degree changes of direction
instead of a 90 degree bend. Handrail should be installed working away
from the corner stanchion. The handrail connection to the Corner post
stanchion must be welded
Kickplate
Kickplate can be attached to the stanchions or be part of the flooring
material. If a kickplate is required then the stanchions usually come with
kickplate mounting brackets which are predrilled angles welded to the
stanchion. Kickplate can be attached using M12 bolts in which case it
needs to be drilled or it can be welded on site . The weld can be done
on three sides of the angle or within the holes of the angle bracket.
Balustrades
Balustrades are supplied in sections approximately 2m long. The end of
one section fits into the stanchion on the next section. It is suggested
that two sections are first erected as per Section 1 after which each
section can be fitted.
The baseplates of balustrades need to be lifted over the fixing bolts.
It is important the fixings are correctly spaced and extend sufficiently
to protrude through the baseplate once fitted. Balustrades are joined as
for rails.
Gates
Gates are manufactured with a swing direction. The gate stanchions are
DOSO. Gate springs can be tensioned by turning the spring in the coil
direction. Usually 2 to 3 turns are required.

In Ground Stanchions (IG, IGA)

In ground stanchions are supplied with an extra length leg to allow for
Steel
casting into a footing. Footing sizes are as specified by the civil engineer.
