ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
Stainless steel is a very hard, resilient material.
Although our polished handrail tubing systems are designed
using an innovative modular, quick-fit design technology
– making it ideal for rapid, onsite shop fitting
assembly or DIY construction – STICK IT strongly
advise all safety precautions are followed, particularly
when drilling, tapping and cutting. If you require further
guidance on installing our handrail systems, please
contact us our West Midlands office on 0121 525 0020.
STEP ONE: VERY IMPORTANT –
ASSEMBLE ALL PARTS “DRY” PRIOR TO BONDING
TOGETHER

a suitable fixed blade saw.
2. Use a suitable cutting fluid to prolong blade
life.
3. Remove all burrs after cutting.

BONDING JOINTS |
 |
1. Apply a small bead of high strength retainer
to the male insert part of the fitting.
2. Insert fitting into tube (or female fitting) and
adjust to desired position.

in 10 to 30 mins; fully cured in
24 hrs.

FIXING
BY MECHANICAL METHOD IS REQUIRED TO ATTACH ITEMS SUCH
AS GLASS CLAMPS. SEE BELOW FOR A GUIDE.
DRILLING AND TAPPING |
 |
1. Clamp the stainless steel tube securely in a
vice or similar
2. Mark the tube with centre-punch.
3. If possible, use suitable cutting fluid.
