Engineering Specs for Satin Stainless Steel (SS 316) Railings
Regular price $0.00Before using any railing products, from any vendor, homeowners, designers, fabricators, and installers should familiarize themselves with the local building codes that apply to their application. Inline Design provides relevant code-compliance information throughout the website, in specification sheets, and in instructional booklets; this information is advisory only and should not be used to address building compliance or safety-standard compliance directly. Inline Design is not liable for any non-compliance arising from installation or improper use of company products. For questions about local codes, customers are encouraged to contact their city specialist or a relevant Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ); a code adoption map is linked below for reference.
Every effort is made in the design of our products to meet the structural strength requirements for handrails, guardrails, and ADA rails. Our engineering team works to ensure designs meet both International Residential Code (IRC) and International Building Code (IBC) requirements, and a safety factor of 2.5 is typically applied during testing. While our products are designed to meet IRC and IBC requirements, we do not specify the method used to attach the system to the structure.

Details
| Material | All railings and components are 316 Satin Stainless Steel, suitable for indoor, outdoor, and beach-front areas. 316 stainless steel contains a higher concentration of molybdenum than other stainless variants, giving it active resistance to pitting and corrosion in marine-based locations, docks, shipyards, commercial and industrial sites, and other public locations |
| Quality Testing | Components are randomly lab-tested to confirm they meet 316 stainless steel and corrosion-resistance standards, conducted by Metal Test Inc. in Kent, WA |
