RE: WJE No. 820960 Nickel-Silver 8" × 18ga
JB Glass Railing Tests Nickel-Silver 19" × 18ga
Gentlemen: Can be used to clad shoe moulding. See detail page 4.

At your request, we have conducted tests on
aluminum shoe mouldings specified for the JB Glass
Railing System. It is our understanding that this
particular railing system uses ½"-thick tempered
b
glass as a balustrade to support aluminum, bronze,
or stainless steel handrail mouldings. The glass
panels are mounted in the aluminum shoe mouldings,
which are the subject of this testing.
The objective of these tests was to obtain
information concerning the load versus deflection
characteristics of two types of shoe mouldings,
mounted in several different ways. In addition, the
tests were to demonstrate that the shoe mouldings
could withstand loadings well in excess of current
Model Code regulations, without failure or significant
deformation. Most Model Code regulations require a
uniform loading of 50 lbs. per lineal foot, and some
require a 200-lb. concentrated load. These loads are
not to be applied concurrently.
In the tests conducted and described in our report
designated WJE No. 820960, dated January 13, 1983,
concentrated loads of 400 lbs. to 800 lbs. were
applied at approximately 42" from a referenced floor
surface. The test sections were 4' long. The test
results and engineering calculations show that the
strength of the shoe mouldings which were tested
would exceed the above-mentioned Model Code loading
criteria by a factor of four.

NON-WELDED CONNECTORAIL® SYSTEM
FULL RANGE OF FITTINGS

A complete selection of fittings is offered for
the Connectorail® system. A suitable fitting
is available for practically any stair or ramp
railing condition. Adjustable handrail brack-
ets and ramp rail tees are recommended for
unusual ramp or stair angles.
MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS
Non-welded connections eliminate welding
discoloration and expensive grinding. Struc-
tural adhesive, stainless steel machine screws
with lock washers, and threaded tubular rivets
provide positive connections at joints. Mechan-
ical connections avoid the reduced allowable
design stress effect of welding heat on the
structural properties of aluminum handrail pipe.
OPTIONS FOR MOUNTING

Connectorail® posts may be embedded in
floor slab with a cover flange, surface mounted
with a heavy-duty floor flange, or side mounted
on fascia or stringer by means of a fascia
flange. A reinforcing insert is used at the base
of the post for added strength and stiffness. A
socket for removable railings—with cover—is
also available.
CONTINUOUS POSTS AND RAILS

Posts and top rails run in continuous lengths,
thus providing a system that is inherently
stronger than one with cast tee and cross
connections. Connectorail® has a con-
tinuous, smooth top surface as required
by established safety standards and code

railing depends on the proper selection of

Anchor plugs provide secure mounting for brackets supporting intermediate rails.
Aluminum anchor plugs are machined from solid extruded stock; the stainless
steel anchor plug is fabricated from heavy metal.
Connectorail® Wall Brackets
Aluminum brackets are available with a mill finish or a clear anodized finish—AA-M32-C22-A31 (204R1).
When designating clear anodized brackets, add the suffix -A to catalog number listed (e.g. 307-A).

Spindles are produced from solid stock and have a surface suitable for polishing or painting. Forged spindles with bronze and nickel-silver
centers are permanently assembled and are equal in strength to solid spindles. Bronze and nickel-silver centers are polished and protected
for shipment and installation. Aluminum spindles are machined from solid 6063 aluminum rod and have a surface suitable for painting or

Yield strength is the point of stress (in pounds per square
inch) at which material fails to return to its original position after w
the stress has been removed and takes a permanent set. Mini-
mum yield is defined as the test value exceeded by 99% of a large
number of specimens. For non-ferrous metals, the yield point is h
h
arbitrarily defined as the point of stress at which permanent set is
h1
a specific fraction of 1% of the length of the test piece (0.2% offset h1
as shown below or 0.5% elongation). Ultimate strength is consider-
ably higher (see graph).
L
Typical EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS
Ultimate w* = Uniform horizontal loading, perpendicular to the rail (lb/ft).
STRESS (lb/sq in)
Minimum L = Span between centerlines of posts or brackets (in.).

Typical Ultimate P = Horizontal force, perpendicular to rail applied at top of post (lb).
Yield FH = Horizontal force, perpendicular to rail at any point along the railing (lb).
Minimum FV = Vertical force, perpendicular to rail at any point between posts (lb).
Yield h = Height of post. Distance from point of load application above top of
attachment (in.).
Allowable Stress h1 = Distance from top of post attachment to top of reinforcing insert (in.).
M = Bending moment (in.-lb).
f = Unit stress (psi)
ENGINEERING DATA
fs = Allowable fiber stress for design (psi).

STRAIN (inches/inch) Sx & Sy = Section modulus about the x- or y-axis respectively (in3).
0.2% OF lx & ly = Moment of inertia about the x- or y-axis respectively (in4).
GAUGE LENGTH k = Stiffness of member.
K = Bending moment constant.
c = Distance from the neutral axis to the extreme fibre of any section (in).
ELEMENTS OF SECTIONS
E = Modulus of elasticity (psi × 106).
Properties of sections of JB® handrail mouldings, posts, and ∆ = Deflection (in.).
support sections are listed on page 118. For properties of bars, R = Stiffness ratio.
