This accessibility detail shows the required one-and-one-half-inch minimum clearance for horizontal projections located directly below the handrail gripping surface. The handrail bracket mounts to the wall with sufficient offset to maintain the required free space beneath the rail. Strict adherence to this dimension prevents hand entrapment and complies with accessibility standards for handrail gripping surfaces.
