BALL-JOINTEDHANDRAIL SYSTEMPerfect in detail - refined overall.KHS - The high-quality handrailsystem for wall mounting, fitted withthe most modern in technical featureswhich simplify exact directionallocation and assembly. Accurate fitand shape stability in the minimumtolerance range thanks to preciselymanufactured components andhandrails.

New and interesting designpossibilities thanks to thesystem’s stainless steel ball joints,used as a flexible connectionelement for wooden or stainlesssteel handrails, and which evenallow combinations of wood andstainless steel.

Handrails in wood with alumini-um tube as core.The "aluminium heart" in the coreof the wooden handrail can beconsidered as the system’s keyfeature, since it enables effortless andsafe fixing of handrail supports to thehandrail as well as to directional andconnection components. Thewooden handrail is additionallystabilised by the "aluminium heart"and safeguarded againstdeformation. This increase indeflection strength can be used toincrease the distance betweenhandrail supports.

The "KGS" range (page 6 on-wards) uses the same versions ofhandrails and connectors in the"KHS" range.

"Aluminium heart"stabilises thehandrail, secures itagainst deformationand enables tightfitting of the handrailsupports.

Measure your wall profile andthen sketch the layout.Design your hand rail system usingall individual components. Enterthe required handrail lengths andindividual components in the partslist to assist purchasing. Designsshould allow for around 1.5handrail supports per linear metreon straights, and the same forevery change in direction. Bendshave fixed directions.The stainless steel ball joint canbe used in any location.

When measuring and cutting thehandrails to length, take thenecessary distance from the walland individual componentdimensions into consideration.The distance from the wall andthe fitting dimensions of individualcomponents result in the handraillength (see diagram).Please ensure that you startmeasurement anew after everychange in direction, since eventhe smallest tolerances addthemselves together. The handraillength changes depending on thesize of the angle.

When fixing vormatic KGS elements to astructure, dowels and bolts with a verifiedloading moment of 3.5 kN must be used.You must also observe the edge spacingsand connection information provided bythe dowel manufacturer.

The banister must be erected so that astair cube cannot pass through the spaceat the location shown (see sketch on left-hand side). When erecting stanchions witheye bolts, ensure that these only pointtowards the stairway. It is otherwise pos-sible to step through, which results in ahazard for small children.

The rules precisely stipulate that all pre-assembled eye bolts or plastic washers inthe stanchions must be equipped withbracing struts, otherwise the banister willnot meet the safety requirements. Wewould point out in this context that thehorizontal bracing may never be used asa ladder (danger of falling).

The handrail must be mounted at a mini-mum height of 900 mm measured fromthe leading edge of a step vertically upto the top surface of the handrail.

The KGS range can be used outdoors withrestricted dimensions. You must ensurethat no full surface area infill is used, andthat the bracing is not covered by scree-ning elements or similar. Wind loadingcan result in a "sail effect" which resultsin increased loading on the banister.

If the possible falling height is more than12 metres, vormatic KGS must be erectedat an increased height made possible bybanister add-on sets (system components).

In accordance with current technical stan-dards, Vormatic KGS can accept horizontalloading of up to 50 kg/m if the previouslystipulated stanchion spacings and fixingheights are observed, which means thatthe system is suitable for use in privateresidential areas.

STAIR DESIGNMeasure the stairway in accordance with theguidelines stated here, and then decidewhether stanchions should be mounted onthe stringboard or floor, and in which version.The self-adhesive erection templates containedin the KGS presentation make erection planningeasier. They enable you to have an overviewof the number and positioning of thestanchions, and can be used later as drillingtemplates.

Use the parts summary on pages 14/15 todetermine material requirements and enterthem in the appropriate parts list.

All required parts are either in stock or can besupplied at short notice. The following exampleuses the erection templates for erectionplanning. The example shows a straightconcrete stairway with stringboard stanchionmounting. Floor mounting can be carried outusing the same scheme.

n order to distribute the stanchion spacings, youneed the fixing height.

4.1 At stairway climbsPlace a straight-edge over the front edge of thesteps to determine the intersection between thetop fixing point and a straight-edge, and add the dimension for the planned handrail height.

4.2 At landingsDetermine the distance from the top fixing pointto the top edge of the landing plus the plannedhandrail height.

1. Place the first template on the starting step.

2. Place the next template on the tread or at thestart of landing or at a vertical change of direction.

3. Determine the stanchion position at the end of the landing. To do this, place a straight-edgeon the front edges of the steps. Use the tableon page 8 to determine the stanchion spacings.

Drill the necessary holes and screw the wall fixings in. Do not forget to place the loaddistribution plates supplied between the wall and the wall fixing.

Push the vertical stanchions into the wall fixingsso that the planned handrail height can be achieved.

If necessary, shorten the vertical stanchions at the bottom so that these are flush with the bottom edge of the wall fixings.

ERECTION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Distribute the stanchions so that they arelocated at obvious changes of direction or atthe spacings listed in the table.

2. After the stanchions have been positioned,fix their position by gluing the appropriatetemplate in place.

3. Bolt the stanchions into position. If mountedon stringboards, the stanchions may need tobe shortened in length depending on thestairway layout.

Depending on the type of stairway, ensurethat the edge spacing takes the dowelmanufacturer’s instructions into account.

4. Place the handrail onto the stanchionconsoles in accordance with the vormatic KHSinstructions and fix them continuously.

Ensure that the stanchions are vertical and inline.

Stainless steelStainless steel is one of the most high quality,resistant and environmentally friendly metalsavailable. You will be able to enjoy it for manyyears if treated properly. You will find infor-mation and tips below about handling thestainless steel used in vormatic KGS and KHSsystems.V2A steel (material No. 1.4301) is used, whichwe recommend for indoor use in the firstinstance. Our system can also be used outdoors,but please observe that rust formation canoccur under certain conditions, for examplein extremely high humidity connected withsalt content in maritime areas, or in cases of

heavy air pollution in industrial regions or inthe vicinity of heavily-trafficked roads. Wetherefore recommend that you clean the sur-faces at a frequency depending on the envi-ronmental influences, either using commercialcleansers for stainless steel, or simply usingmild detergents.Caution: do not use water containing chlorinebecause chlorine results in corrosion !There is also a danger of corrosion if stainlesssteel contacts iron or steel. For this reason youshould never use tools for erection which havepreviously been used with iron or steel

Steel / electro-galvanised chromatedIn order that the chrome layer remains perma-nently good-looking, we recommend that youwear gloves when erecting the system. In thecourse of time, the chrome layer can becomeworn especially in areas where sweat comesinto contact with the surface. Please use asimple moist cloth for cleaning. In cases ofheavier soiling, we recommend a special metallacquer to protect the surface.

Steel qualities with electro-galvanised andchromated services should only be used in-doors.
