The linx system:

■ utilises standard components

■ doesn’t require radiused panels

■ requires minimal site survey

■ suitable for almost every site

■ available in a range of options

■ 100% recyclable

the Linx railing system has been designed with every customer in mind, for installation in almost every situation with only a minimal site survey requirement.the Linx’s unique post to panel connection enables modular panels to be fitted and adjusted on site, to a variety of radii and height levels. the modular design also enables clients to keep a ready stock of spare panels for instant replacement should any of the railing system be damaged.

in addition to the standard rectangular rail of the Linx 100 and 200, the Linx 300 and Linx 400 offers a circular rail for more decorative applications.

As a means of improving the line-of-sight between drivers and pedestrians, and increasing safety, furnitubes offer a variety of High Visibility options for Linx panels and posts.

Those involved in specifying and installing guardrail are all too aware of the inflexibility of most systems. the necessity for a full site survey and the manufacture of 'special' components and 'one-offs' to suit specific site conditions is time-consuming and expensive. furthermore, if replacement sections are required after an accident has occurred, the exact damaged components need to be identified and new 'special' components manufactured. this inevitably results in the site being left in disrepair for a long period of time.

linxRAiLinGTm

explained

the Linx range comprises 4 basic series, based on different post and horizontal bar sections and sizes. in each series the post can be fitted with a choice of top caps and collars that enable countless decorative combinations.

the modular design also allows clients to keep a ready stock of spare panels for instant replacement should any of the railing system be damaged.

the following images are taken from a workshop demonstration of the step-by-step assembly sequence for the Linx 100 series patented bracket connection, showing how variable angles and heights can be achieved with standard posts and panels, and therefore how standard components can be used for virtually all sites.

The complete video from which these stills have been taken is available on video CD-ROM. Please contact a member of Furnitubes sales team to request a free copy.

the video cD also contains additional footage of the Linx 100 series during site assembly and of a number of completed installations.

* note: the post shown here is a Linx 100 ‘High Visibility’ post (with sight gap) which requires all brackets to be bolted to the post on site in order to adjust the precise rotation of the post cut-out gap section. the rotation angle of non-visirail posts (without gap) is not important, and brackets are supplied pre-fixed on one side of the post.

FITTING THE BRACKETthe bracket is shaped to suit the post diameter and is fastened by a simple bolt connection to the previously fixed rivnut.

THE BRACKETthe bracket now forms a solid connection on the post. the fixing shown here will be hidden when the railing panel is attached.

OFFERING UP THE RAILINGSthe railing panel, or individual rail is loosely attached to the bracket by the supplied fixings until final adjustment is made.

SECURING THE RAILINGSA small degree of lateral adjustment is achieved by means of the slot in the bracket. once in the correct position, fixings are tightened so the post and panel or rail form a combined solid structure.

THE NEXT PANEL...the bracket is positioned on the post at an angle and height to suit the position of the next post in the line of railings and the assembly sequence as described above is repeated.

THE ASSEMBLY KITAll brackets and fixings are supplied as standard. the only specialist item required is the rivnut tool, available from furnitubes at a nominal price.

MARKING THE BRACKETSWhen the height and angle of the railing has been determined, hole centres for the fixing brackets are marked and centre punched.

DRILLING THE POSTA 12mm diameter hole is drilled through the wall of the post at the marked positions.

THE RIVNUTAs the name suggests, a rivnut is a combination of a rivet and a nut - essentially a rivet that has an internal thread and is shown here being fitted to the rivnut tool with an m10 mandrel.

FITTING THE RIVNUTthe rivnut is fitted to the post via the previously drilled hole and tightened by means of a spanner and rivnut tool. the rivnut now forms a threaded insert onto which a bracket can be securely attached.

STAINLESS STEEL OPTIONSthe striking, clean-cut look of stainless steel makes it an ideal material for modern eye-catching designs. stainless steel is also extremely hardwearing, corrosion resistant, 100% recyclable and does not require a protective coating. instead it can be polished to either a satin or bright mirror finish.

in addition to its versatility for coping with site variations, the Linx system has also been adapted with a number of unique stainless steel cap designs. furnitubes worked with Haringey council to achieve a double-ringed variation of the Linx 200. the stainless steel cap complements the architectural Art Deco features of the nearby London underground station.

other variations include a single-neck Kenton-style cap and an Ashton cap in stainless steel. to discuss other possibilities please call a member of our dedicated design team.
