National Mfg N216-168 Polished Brass Handrail Bracket 5-pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N216-168 is a polished brass handrail bracket designed to secure a wooden handrail to a wall stud or other structurally sound surface. The bracket carries a safe working load of 200 pounds per bracket and features a protective clear lacquer coating over the polished brass finish to resist tarnishing and corrosion over time. This package includes 5 brackets with mounting screws. It is suited for residential stairway and ramp installations where a clean, finished brass appearance is required alongside reliable structural support.

This bracket is used in residential and light commercial applications to mount wooden handrails along staircases, hallways, and ramp assemblies. The included screws simplify installation. The clear lacquer topcoat makes it appropriate for interior settings where the hardware finish is visible and aesthetics matter alongside load performance. Each unit ships carded for retail or trade counter use.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified carpenter or contractor following applicable building codes, including IRC stairway handrail requirements. Always fasten brackets into wall studs or blocking rated for the intended load — drywall anchors alone are not a substitute for structural fastening. Power down any adjacent low-voltage systems before drilling near walls, and confirm stud location with a stud finder before fastening.
