Heavy-Duty Aluminum Railing Series 900/9000
Suncoast Series 900 Heavy Duty Aluminum Railings offer the finest of
railing design features available on the market today. Highest quality
aluminum alloy extrusions are used to provide maximum strength and support
where it is needed most - in your installation. Series 9000 Heavy-Duty Railing features machined post openings on level and ramp railing, eliminating the need for brackets. The result is a clean, rigid design with added strength. If railing is angled horizontally, the angle must be specified so the proper openings can be machined into the post. Swivel brackets are required for step rail applications. The top rail has a 2” wide gripping surface which meets all safety criteria. The machined post openings and assembled sections (standard 6’ length or custom length) facilitate quick turn-around and overall savings to the customer.

Materials All rails, posts and pickets shall be formed from 6063-T6 aluminum of 1-1/2 Schedule 40 pipe size, except where there are formed elbows, whereby, 6063-T4 is used. All railing accessories shall be cast from ANSI 713 alloy. All fasteners used in the system shall be aluminum or stainless steel. Workmanship All pipe cuts shall be square and accurate for minimum joint-gap. Cuts shall be clean and free of chamfer, from deburring, nicks and burrs. Holes shall be drilled the proper size for a tight flush fit of rivets and screws. All posts grouted in concrete must have one 1/4" diameter weep hole, 1/2" above post collar, in the plane of the rail. Rigidity Post spacing shall not exceed 6' 0" center-to-center. All posts will be a single unspliced length between posts. All top rails shall be continuous whenever possible. All fasteners shall be tightened so that completed railing is rigid and free of play at joints and component attachments. Scope of Work Suncoast Aluminum Series 500 railing meets federal safety requirements as determined by an independent testing laboratory. Test results available upon request. Technical Support For continuous spans in excess of 40 feet, expansion joints should be provided. To make an expansion joint, one end of the spliced joint should not have structural adhesive applied so that it is free to move in or out of the pipe. If a joint is provided every 30 feet, the width of the gap should allow 1/8" expansion for each 40OF of expected temperature rise. All pipe railing splices should be made no more than 12" from the nearest post.

Railing splices are designed for a tight press fit and must be compressed with a pliers to permit them to slip into the pipe. The areas to be joined should be cleaned thoroughly. Mix adhesive according to manufacture's directions. Mix only enough that you can use within 1/2 hour. Apply adhesive to inside surface of pipe. Compress splice sleeve with a pliers, then slip into the pipe. Wipe off excess adhesive after components are properly joined. The areas connected together should be left undisturbed for eight hours, longer in cold weather. Tee Fittings
To attach the tee fitting to the post, a self tapping,
stainless steel, hexagon head screw with lock washer is
positioned through the fitting and threaded into the tubular
post. Mounting Options
