Ives HB159A3AL Handrail Bracket Aluminum Bright Brass

Product Description

The IVES HB159A3AL is an aluminum handrail bracket finished in bright brass, designed for commercial handrail installations where code-compliant support and architectural appearance are both required. The bracket mounts to walls or structural surfaces and holds handrail tubing at the correct standoff distance, keeping the rail stable and ADA-accessible. At 0.6 pounds, the aluminum construction keeps the assembly lightweight without sacrificing the rigidity needed for high-traffic corridors, stairwells, and public access areas. The bright brass finish gives it a clean, professional look that coordinates with other commercial door and building hardware.

This handrail bracket is suited for commercial and institutional builds including office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-family residential properties. It is typically installed during rough-in or finish carpentry phases by a licensed contractor or ironworker following local building codes and IBC or ADA handrail continuity requirements. The bracket accepts standard handrail profiles and is sold individually, with a case quantity of 5 units available for larger projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed contractor or qualified finish carpenter. Secure the bracket to wall studs or a solid backing rated for the applied load; hollow-wall anchors alone are generally not suitable for handrail brackets in commercial occupancies. Ensure mounting height and projection comply with applicable IBC and ADA handrail requirements before fastening. Verify that the wall substrate material and fastener type are appropriate for the finish material to prevent galvanic corrosion.
