About this detail

A steel pipe guardrail assembly features a one-and-a-half-inch outside diameter steel pipe top rail and mid-rail welded to main vertical steel pipe posts spaced at a maximum of five feet on center. Exterior posts include a quarter-inch-diameter vent hole and weep hole, with grout sloped to drain away from the post where required. The main vertical pipe is set into a preset steel sleeve or core-drilled hole one inch larger than the pipe size in existing concrete, secured with non-shrink grout such as Sika Grout 212. Alternatively, the main vertical pipe is continuously welded to a painted HSS 14x4x1/4 structural steel stringer with all welds ground smooth. All pipe material is schedule 40 pipe, with galvanized steel specified for exterior applications.
