Ramps in public areas are required to adhere to the standards set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). One important requirement outlined in the ADA is the need for edge protection on ramps and landings with drop-offs. This edge protection can take the form of curbs, walls, railings, or projecting surfaces, all of which serve the purpose of preventing individuals from accidentally slipping off the ramp. According to ADA guidelines, these curbs should have a minimum height of 2 inches (50 mm) to effectively safeguard users.
Promenaid offers a range of products designed to help you meet the ADA requirements effectively. When it comes to edge protection, you can install Promenaid Schedule 40 tube between the posts a few inches off the ground.
Promenaid R02 Schedule 40 1.25" pipe is available in a variety of colors. It requires T07K Pipe Connectors at both ends, and the following parts, to attach to the vertical posts:
T-Connector: This component is a crucial element for securely attaching the edge protection pipe to the post. It is available in Architectural Bronze, Satin Black, White, and Silver to match the posts.
Collar (for level landings), 5-degree bend (for inclined ramps) or 32-degree bend (for standard stairs): These pieces are essential for connecting the railing to the T-connector on the post.
By utilizing these components from Promenaid, you can ensure that your ramp design aligns with ADA regulations, ultimately providing a safe and accessible environment for all individuals.
