Understanding ADA Handrail Requirements

The handrail height should be between 34 inches and 38 inches above the walking surface. This should be consistent throughout the length of the handrail.

It&#;s important to note that this considers adults. If children are the primary users of the ramps or stairs, like in an elementary school, then you should provide a second set of handrails to aid in preventing accidents. It is recommended that this should be no higher than 28 inches. Also, make sure that there are at least 9 inches between the upper and lower handrails to ensure no one is entrapped.

The handrail diameter should be 1-1/4 inches to 2 inches. If it is non-circular, then it shouldn&#;t have a cross-section greater than 2-1/4 inches and its perimeter should be 4 inches to 6-1/4 inches.

The handrail should have at least 1-1/2 inches of clearance to any adjacent surface.
