CATALOG NAME: S77 Bracket v2
TYPE: SEAM



This Custom Component was created to use with Railings S77 (not to be used manually). Using S77, a grab rail can be created and this bracket can be used to connect the grab rail to the stanchions.

If you are looking for a bracket to apply manually use Grail Rail Bracket


Bracket Orientation Options

Type 1 - Parallel to Stanchion (this option should not be used in sloping conditions if rail is a Polybeam)
Type 2 - Perpendicular to Rail (this option should not be used in sloping conditions if rail is a Polybeam)
Type 3 - Perpendicular to Polybeam Rail (using this option in sloping conditions when rail is a Polybeam)
Type 4 - Parrallel to Stanchion - Polybeam Rail (using this option in sloping conditions when rail is a Polybeam)

Issues To Watch For

When the railing is a Polybeam, the brackets will be oriented and located correctly along the slope of the Polybeam rail, but not at the horizontal conditions like the landings. Depending on which Bracket Orientation option you used, the landing result will look like one of these.
