Product Description

The ADA compliant 555 handrail is a minimalist stair railing kit that features a smooth inline rail that secures directly to your stairs and landing. Stairs and ramps that require ADA compliant handrail but are too narrow to comply using offset rail systems can use the ADA 555 rail and still comply with regulations. User's hands glide smoothly along the entire length of the handrail because it uses the 555 Top Fix Rail Assembly to attach the rail to the upright. The ADA 555 handrail will last decades longer than a standard off the shelf ADA railing; the entire system is galvanized and designed for durability and flexibility.

This railing has been custom designed for ADA Compliance

Unique Features:

Inline Mounting - Handrail is mounted inline with stairs that may be too narrow for traditional offset ADA railing
Custom lengths - Configure for any distance between 2-8 linear feet
Long-lasting - The entire system is completely galvanized
Easy to install - Only requires a few simple tools and can be installed in about 1 hour
Everything you need - Includes mounting hardware for concrete and wood surfaces

Perfect For

Landlords - who need ADA rail to be easy to install and long lasting to meet building code requirements.
Homeowners - who are looking for a robust handrail that meets insurance requirements.
Business owners - who are required to provide ADA compliant handrail for steps and ramps around their business.

Select Your Options

Base Kit - The base kit includes two uprights and all the necessary brackets to support the grab rail. Included with your purchase are end caps and mounting hardware.
Length - Select the number of feet for your hand railing. In most cases, estimating to the nearest foot works great. See instructions below for calculating the grab rail length. Maximum Length: 7' 6" ft. If you need an extended handrail, please contact us directly for a custom railing.
Additional Uprights - If you are extending your railing beyond 6 feet between uprights, you will need to add an extra upright.
Powder Coating Color Options - This aluminum railing kit comes with a silver finish but can be powder coated for an additional fee.
NOTE: This will add 3-4 weeks to your lead time.

Calculating Rail Length

This simple way to do this is to have someone stand at the bottom of the steps holding the end of the measuring tape. Walk to the top of the stairs while each of you holds the measuring tape 3 feet off the ground. Record the length when you have positioned the ends where you want the railing to begin and end. In most cases, estimating to the nearest foot works great.

Tip: Longer is better. Your handrail can be cut shorter if needed before install.

The mathematical way of calculating would be to measure the rise and run of the steps and then calculate the length of the railing by the following formula:

Railing Length = √ height2 + length2

The square root of the height squared plus the length squared will give you the proper length of your railing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tools do I need?

You will receive an allen key with your railing kit that can be used to connect the pipe and fittings.
