RE: Handrail Extension Clear Idea

I think the handrail is supposed to extend 12" past the nose of the bottom tread. Check OSHA to be sure.

We use past the nosing to outside of rail tube.

Agree...nosing to outside of rail loop. In US that's an ADA requirement

RE: Handrail Extension Clear Idea

For handrail extension requirement in the IBC, see the §1014.6 in the 2015 edition, and §1012.6 in the 2012 and 2009.

I've seen them delivered to the site with sleeves like a slide trombone. They get welded after ADA approval. (ADA lawsuits are big here).
