Applications & Fitment
This hand rail is ideal for residential in-ground pools where you want to blend enhanced aesthetics with dependable pool access support. It can retrofit existing anchor placements (Figure-4 style) and is suited for concrete, vinyl or fiberglass pools. Always verify your existing anchor spacing and deck mounting before purchase.
Installation Instructions
- Ensure the pool is not in use, and follow standard pool-safety & electrical procedures when working near the deck.
- Remove the old rail if applicable, inspect the anchor sockets for condition, and clean the deck area around each mount.
- Position the ART-1001S rail in place, align the legs with the anchor sockets, and secure using the correct screws/fasteners for your pad surface.
- Check the rail for solid mounting and minimal play; ensure the top hand-bar height and spacing meet local codes or safety guidelines.
- After installation, inspect the rail daily for a few days of usage, and periodically inspect fasteners, anchor stability and finish condition.
Troubleshooting
- Rail loose or shifting: Confirm that the anchors are properly secured and that the deck bolts are correctly torqued.
- Corrosion or finish wear: If the pool is salt-water or high-chemistry, consider selecting the marine-grade (316L) option or inspecting more frequently.
- Hand rail height incorrect or unsafe: Recheck the model installation specs and local safety code requirements, reposition if needed.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the hand rail at least once each season—check for corrosion, finish wear, bolt tightness and proper anchor condition. Tighten loosened fasteners promptly, and if you notice pitting or finish degradation, consider protective coating or replacement to maintain safety and aesthetic integrity.
