DO-IT-YOURSELF > HOW TO INSTALL > HAND RAILS & SPINDLES
To join any handrail part to a straight rail, as at Section A, use an HW105 hanger bolt. When using an up or
down easement, either between straight rail and a handrail part (as in the drawing which shows an H31 up easement with an H4 small symmetrical volute), or between two sections of rail, (e.g. when making a gooseneck),
the other face of the easement is simply joined with the two 3” x #12 wood screws as shown.
To insert the bolt, the following tools are required;
Drill
1-1/8” , ½ & ¼ drill bits.
½” closed wrench
In the straight rail to be joined, drill a 1-1/8” hole in the recess for the filler strip, 1-1/2” in from the end. Drill as deep as possible but take care not to let the point of the drill come through the rail. (If using a speed bit, it may be necessary to file the point down to a stub.)
Then, with the ½” bit, drill from the center of the joint face in the position shown, through to the hole just drilled. A ¼” hole, 2” deep, is made in the corresponding position on the handrail part. The hanger bolt is screwed into this.
Dry assemble the two parts and check that you can get the washer onto the bolt as shown. When gluing together, align the parts carefully while tightening nut. The 1-1/8” hole will be hidden by the filler strip.
