Product Features
· Continuous corridor rail format — designed for wall-mounted installation along the full length of hospital and nursing home corridors; provides continuous support for ambulatory patients moving independently
· Antibacterial nylon coating over stainless steel core — warm touch for extended hand contact; antibacterial surface for corridors with continuous patient hand contact
· Return ends — inward-turned or downward-turned rail ends at corridor terminations prevent clothing and IV bags from catching; required by hospital design codes
· Bracket spacing — compatible with standard bracket spacing (typically 300–600mm centres) for long corridor runs
· Colour options — white (standard), yellow, ivory, custom RAL; matches hospital interior wall and colour-coded wayfinding systems
· Custom lengths — individual segments cut to any length; corner connectors and end brackets available for complete corridor system
· 150 kg load capacity at each bracket point
· 35mm diameter (32–38mm optional)

Applications
· Hospital ward corridors — bilateral wall rails along ward corridors for patient independent ambulation during recovery
· Nursing home and elderly care corridors — continuous handrail system for residents with reduced balance, partial mobility impairment or post-fall rehabilitation
· Rehabilitation center walkways — corridor rail used as a supervised assisted ambulation aid and exercise support during physiotherapy
· Hospital bathroom approach corridors — short corridor sections leading from bedroom to bathroom in accessible room configurations
· Outpatient clinic corridors — handrail for patients accessing treatment rooms, particularly in orthopaedic and neurological outpatient services
Installation Steps
1. Mark the corridor rail line at the required height — per ADA Section 505 and most healthcare design codes, corridor handrails mount at 865–965mm above finished floor. Confirm the specified height for your project.
2. Mark bracket positions at the required spacing (typically 400–600mm for standard corridor loads; 300mm for high-load or bariatric environments). Locate fixing positions in studs or masonry as required.
3. Fit wall brackets first — drill and anchor each bracket before mounting the rail. Use a long spirit level to confirm all brackets are at identical height along the corridor run.
4. For long corridor runs, plan rail segment joints to fall at bracket positions — never joint mid-span.
5. Mount rail segments onto brackets and secure per the bracket fixing design.
6. Fit return ends at all corridor terminations (ends of the rail run, above stairwells, at doorways). Return ends should curve inward (toward the wall) or downward to eliminate the risk of clothing, IV stands or walking aids catching on the rail end.
7. Fit corner connectors at corridor bends or junctions, maintaining a continuous graspable rail surface through the corner.
8. Load test each bracket after installation.
Product Advantages
· Healthcare-specific design — return ends and bracket spacing options are specified for clinical corridor environments, not adapted from residential handrail products
· Continuous antibacterial surface — in a corridor used by hundreds of patients and staff per day, the antibacterial nylon surface provides meaningful passive infection control along the full corridor length
FAQ
Q: What height should hospital corridor handrails be mounted?
A: Most healthcare facility design guidelines specify 865–965mm (34–38 inches) above finished floor for corridor handrails. ADA Section 505 specifies 865–965mm. For facilities with specific patient populations (e.g., primarily wheelchair-using patients, paediatric patients), your accessibility consultant or infection control team may specify different heights.
Q: What is the recommended bracket spacing for a hospital corridor?
A: Standard bracket spacing for hospital corridor rails is 400–500mm on centre for general ward corridors. For high-load applications (bariatric patient units) or very long unsupported spans, 300mm spacing provides greater structural security. Follow your project's structural engineering specification.
Q: Can the GB-002 be used outdoors?
A: The GB-002 with stainless steel core is suitable for sheltered outdoor corridor applications (covered walkways, covered connection corridors). For fully exposed outdoor installations, contact us to discuss specification — the stainless steel core grade and nylon UV resistance should be confirmed for your climate zone.
