Code Compliant Modular Access System Installation Manual
6.3. INSTALL RAMP HANDRAIL END LOOPS
6.3.1. The system may include both upper and lower end loops (FIG. 6.5). End loops are
installed in all locations where the handrail does not terminate in some other manner
(for example, a return to a building, a post, or the ground).
6.3.2. Upper loops and lower loops differ from one another but are installed in the same
manner. If the loop does not fit correctly, you are most likely trying to install it on the
wrong end of the ramp or ramp run.
6.3.2.1. Referencing FIG. 6.5, note how the ends of the upper end loop angle
downward and ends of the lower end loop angle upward.
6.3.2.2. The swaged leg of the end loop is always the upper leg. Insert a 5/16”-18
round threaded insert into the lower leg (FIG. 6.6). Use a rubber mallet or
similar tool to fully seat as needed.
6.3.2.3. Install the upper (swaged) end of the loop in the ramp handrail and attach
the lower leg to the ramp handrail frame post using a 5/16”-18 x 2-1/4”
hex bolt through a flat washer, the frame post, and into the threaded
insert installed in the lower leg (FIG. 6.7).
6.3.2.4. Tighten the hex bolt securely.
