2.0 USES
The Aluminum Railing System Series V800, C800,
M600, I800, A800, and O800 described in this report are
limited to exterior or interior use as a guardrail system
for balconies, porches, and decks for one- and two-
family dwellings constructed in accordance with the IRC.
3.0 DESCRIPTION
3.1 General:
The Aluminum Railing System Series V800, C800,
M600, I800, A800, and O800 are guards consisting of
extruded aluminum posts, sub-rail panel with top and
bottom channel rails and balusters, bottom-rail support
leg, and top and bottom rail covers. The Aluminum
Railing System components are produced from 6063-T5
aluminum alloy, the posts are produced from 6005A-T5
aluminum alloy, and the post caps and post base plates
are produced from A380 aluminum alloy. The Aluminum
Railing System is available in six different series: V800,
C800, M600, I800, A800, and O800; where each top rail
is described by a designated series: Victorian (V),
Colonial (C), Mission (M), Impressions (I), Aria (A), and
Optima (O). The minimum yield and tensile strengths,
minimum thickness of the railing components, and
manufacturing extrusion process are specified in
accordance with the approved quality control
documentation. The railing components are available in
a white, black or bronze powder coated finish.
3.2 Guard:
The height of the railing assembly is 42 inches
(1067 mm) above the walking surface. The top rail
cover has a wall thickness of 0.055-inch (1.40 mm);
and depending on the top rail series, the overall top
rail width ranges from 2-inches (50.8 mm) minimum
to 2 ½-inches (63.5 mm) maximum, and the overall
top rail depth ranges from 1.92-inches (48.8 mm)
minimum to 2.35-inches (59.7 mm) maximum. The
bottom rail cover has a wall thickness of 0.055-inch
(1.40 mm), a width of 1 ½-inches (38.1 mm), and a
depth of 1 ½-inches (38.1 mm). For the sub-rail
panels, both top and bottom h-channel rails having a
varying wall thicknesses between 0.065-inch (1.65 mm)
and 0.083-inch (2.11 mm) thick, a width of 1.38-inches
(35.1 mm), and a depth of 0.97-inch (24.6 mm). Both top
and bottom rail covers and sub-rail panels are available
in 6-foot (1.83 m) and 8-foot (2.44 m) lengths. They are
produced from 6063-T5 aluminum alloy and come in a
powder coated finish. The maximum railing span for
each Aluminum Railing System series is noted in
Table 1.
The pickets are hollow rectangular extruded 6063-T5
aluminum. The pickets have a wall thickness of
0.050-inch (1.27 mm), a width of ½-inch (12.7 mm), and
a depth of ¾-inch (19.1 mm) and come in a powder
coated finish. Each picket is inserted in the pre-punched
holes on the top and bottom h-channel rails of each
sub-rail panel, with a center-to-center spacing of
4 ½-inches (114.3 mm).
The posts are 3-inches (76.2 mm) square hollow
extruded 6005A-T5 aluminum with a wall thickness of
0.065-inch (1.65 mm) and come in a powder coated
finish. The post cap is produced from A380 aluminum
alloy and is installed at the top of the extruded post
and measures 3-inches (76.2 mm) by 3-inches
(76.2 mm) square. The post base plate is produced from
A380 aluminum alloy and is installed at the bottom of the
extruded post; it measures 4.99-inches (126.7 mm) by
4.99-inches (126.7 mm) square. The 6-foot (1.83 m) and
8-foot (2.44 m) railing systems utilize one intermediate
bottom rail support leg located at the midspan. Each
support leg is a 1½-inches (38.1 mm) square hollow
extruded 6063-T5 aluminum with a wall thickness of
0.052-inch (1.32 mm) and comes in a powder coated
finish.
The top and bottom rail connector clips are made
from 0.080-inch (2.03 mm) thick 5052-H32 aluminum
