About this detail

A steel cable railing and guard assembly mounts to a second-floor slab edge or stair opening. The structural vertical support consists of a one-and-one-half-inch by one-and-one-half-inch steel post welded to a quarter-inch steel plate along its centerline, featuring three-eighths-inch diameter cable openings spaced typically throughout its height. Nine horizontal cables run through the post at four inches on center, bounded by a one-and-one-half-inch by one-and-one-half-inch steel top rail and bottom rail. Handrail brackets are positioned with specific return and upper stair run dimensions referencing detail ten on sheet A-502. The entire assembly secures to the floor structure at the edge of the opening with a five-inch clearance to the bottom rail.
