WHICH SYSTEM?
There are three main systems to choose from:
STANDARD BOLT-ON SACRIFICIAL SOCKET CLAMP ON
Whichever system is chosen they share some

common features
• Ground level beam dressing is preferable
• The Posts should be positioned at a maximum of 1900mm apart along the
beams and approx. 300mm from the centre of the columns at each end.

CLEARANCES
The two hook option

Whichever system is used, the default setting will give the option of initially
hanging the barriers with the lower handrail in the second hook to suit the
final, agreed clearance.
The barriers can be lifted by 100mm vertically if required, by using lower
handrail in the first hook to give a working clearance gap under the barriers
for edge trim installation, slab floating etc.

Netting – this can be combined with our system by attaching to the top rail of the barriers

Typical Drilling Details

UB/UC - Depending on the depth of the section size, the Stub may have to
be positioned lower, or rotated. Three drilling options are available.
PFC – Depending on the depth of the section the Stub may require rotating
90 degrees. Two drilling options available.
SHS/RHS – Depending on the depth of the section the Stub may require
rotating 90 degrees. Two drilling options available. This requires the use of
blind bolts (if this is not suitable please consider the sacrificial socket system).

that the bolt-on Stubs do not clash.
• Please note the positioning is flexible within reason and
adjustable to clear connections, etc.
• Cellular beams should be detailed as above. Adjust the
holes that clash with connections or cells and then take an
overview of the centres ensuring the maximum 1900mm

• The face of the top hook is colour coded.
• With each delivery of components, a colour coded drawing
will be provided showing which colour of Post assembly is
to be fixed to which beam.
• The unique ‘single bolt fixing’ system allows for quick and
easy installation and removal. STAGE 2
• The Post assemblies should be installed using M20x60
bolts supplied.
• The Post hooks should always face into the building.
• With the Posts in position, barrier panels should be applied,
initially set with on lower hook to provide final clearance for
finished slab.
• Barrier panels should overlap adjacent barriers by at least STAGE 3
one aperture at each Post where possible.
• Secure the barriers to the Post, the cable ties provided are
to be fitted as a visual aid for inspection
• The section can now be craned into position.
• Use two number pipe clamps to secure the barriers top
and bottom on all external and internal corners
Adjustment of the System STAGE 4
The following adjustment can be made on site:
• The barriers can be lifted by 100mm vertically if required,
by using lower handrail in the first hook to give a working
clearance gap under the barriers for edge trim installation,
slab floating etc.
• Utilising the indexing holes and pins provided, the system
can be adjusted both horizontally & vertically.

There are a few basic set-out procedures to apply when detailing the surface mounted system.
Landing Corner – 250mm from the corner, further if a wall is to be built along the edge of the landing.
Typically 100mm - in from the edge of the concrete (flights and landings).
Returns on flights may require single Post and quarter panel.
Different maximum centre for panels when used on stairs to avoid too much clashing.
Please note these are starting parameters and within reason are adjustable.

Installation of the stair system STAIR SOCKET

• This system can be dressed to the PC stairs at ground level
(preferable) or in-situ, whichever is most suitable. If ground
level installation is not an available option then PPE should
be utilised in accordance with working at height regulations.
• The cast-in fixings (M16x100) will have been installed at
appropriate positions around the castings.
• Surface mounted stair sockets (E-03450) should be applied
to the cast-in fixings and M16x45 set screws and washers
inserted and hand tightened.
• Posts should now be inserted into the sockets and indexing
pins inserted to set the height required. Stair Posts (E-00450)
should be used on the stair flights and standard Posts
(E-00400) used on landings.
• The Post hooks should always face into the stair.
• Holes in the baseplates of the units are slotted allowing
final positioning adjustments to be made (temporary
application of barriers may help positioning). The screws
should be fully tightened.
• Stair wings (E-02000) should be attached to the top and
bottom panels of each flight. With each initial delivery of a
staircase a marked up print will be supplied indicating Post
locations and barrier sizes.
