Weldlok Balltube® Specifications
Standard Duty Stanchions Standard duty stanchions are manufactured from 40 NB tubing (48.3mm OD x 3.2mm wall thickness).
Heavy Duty Stanchions Heavy duty stanchions are manufactured from 40 NB tubing (48.3mm OD x 4.0mm wall thickness).
Stanchion Pitching Australian Standard AS1657:1992 recommends a maximum pitching of 2 metres for stanchions.
Stanchion Handing Handing of stanchions is from point of view on stairway or platform, facing the inside of the stanchion. Those on the right-hand side are suffixed ‘R’, those on the left-hand side are suffixed ‘L’.
Rails Standard drilled openings on Balltube stanchions allow for a top rail of 32 NB (42.4mm OD) and a mid-rail of 25 NB (33.7mm OD). Hole sizes for 40 NB (48.3mm OD) and 20 NB (26.9mm OD) rails in either top rail or mid-rail positions are also available. Rails are supplied in medium gauge, with a maximum length of 6.5m.
Kickplate Mounting Brackets Manufactured from 40mm x 40mm x 5mm angle x 85mm long, with two 14mm diameter slotted holes, to suit 100mm kickplate.
Kickplates Standard kickplates are 100mm x 6mm in 6m lengths. Other sizes available on request.
Base Plates All base plates (except BPAM type) are 75mm x 146mm x 10mm with 18mm diameter holes at 102mm centres. BPAM base plates are 65mm x 172mm x 10mm with 18mm diameter holes at 126mm centres. Note: Special base plates can be made to order.
Finish Standard finish is hot-dip galvanised to AS/NZS4680:1999. Untreated finish available on request.
Specials Variations on standard stanchions and fittings can be manufactured to individual requirements.
Installation Instructions 1. Loosely bolt stanchions to structure. 2. Feed top rails and mid-rail through ball joints.
Mega Ball Specifications (Refer page 10) Standard Duty Stanchions – 65 NB (76.1mm OD x 3.6mm wall thickness). Heavy Duty Stanchions – 65 NB (76.1mm OD x 4.5mm wall thickness). Spheres – 125mm OD, to suit 76.1mm OD piping. Rails – Same duty as stanchions. Supplied in 6.5m lengths. Base Plates – 150mm x 150mm. Thickness 16mm. Holes 20mm OD. Special Base Plates – Made to requirements. Finish – Hot-dip galvanised or untreated.
3. Where top or mid-rails join, use slip joint. 4. Drill for taper pins. (Ensure the join is inside the ball unit, where possible.) 5. Tighten nuts and bolts on stanchions. 6. Run approximately 25mm (1 inch) of weld on side or top where ball units join top and mid-rails (not required when using tapered pins). 7. Bends and corners to be fully welded then ground and primed with zinc-rich paint.
