Product Description
7024 Up Easing for use with the 6040, 1500, 1750, 1780 and 2000 Round Handrails.
The Westfire Stair Parts 7024 Up Easing is a premium stair fitting designed specifically for round handrails, offering both functional and aesthetic enhancements to staircase installations. This component is part of Westfire’s extensive catalog of high-quality stair parts, crafted to ensure smooth transitions and seamless integration with compatible handrail profiles.
Overview:
The 7024 Up Easing is a handrail fitting intended to facilitate a gradual, upward transition between a horizontal handrail section and an inclined section, such as at the start of a staircase or when connecting to a ramped handrail. This fitting is particularly suited for round handrail profiles, including popular models like the 6040, 1500, 1750, 1780, and 2000 handrails offered by Westfire Stair Parts. Its primary purpose is to provide a comfortable and ergonomic grip while maintaining the structural integrity and visual continuity of the handrail system.
Design and Functionality
-
Shape and Profile: The 7024 Up Easing features a smooth, curved design that gently rises from the horizontal plane to align with the angle of the ascending handrail. This curvature eliminates abrupt changes in direction, enhancing user safety and comfort by allowing the hand to glide naturally along the rail.
-
Compatibility: It is engineered to pair seamlessly with round handrail profiles, such as the 6040 handrail, which is a common choice for both residential and commercial applications. The fitting’s dimensions and contours are precision-machined to match the diameter and shape of these handrails, ensuring a flush and secure connection.
-
Joinery: The 7024 Up Easing typically includes hardware for installation, such as rail bolt kits (e.g., Westfire’s 3001 Rail Bolt Kit) and flush plugs. These components allow for a sturdy attachment to the handrail, concealing the connection points for a polished finish.
Materials and Construction:
-
Wood Species: Available in a variety of wood species, the 7024 Up Easing caters to diverse aesthetic preferences and durability needs. Commonly stocked options include:
-
Red Oak: Known for its strength, durability, and attractive grain pattern, making it a popular choice for visible stair components.
-
Poplar: A cost-effective, lightweight option with a smooth finish, ideal for painting or staining.
-
Other species such as Hard Maple, White Oak, or custom options may be available upon request, subject to lead times.
-
-
Craftsmanship: Manufactured with precision, by Amish craftsmen (Holmes Stair Parts), the fitting reflects a commitment to quality. It is typically solid wood, free of finger joints, ensuring both durability and a consistent appearance.
-
Finish: The 7024 Up Easing is supplied unfinished, allowing customers to apply stains, varnishes, or paints to match their staircase design. The smooth surface is pre-sanded, ready for customization.
Dimensions:
While exact dimensions may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer’s specifications or custom orders, a typical up easing like the 7024 is designed to match the diameter of its compatible handrail (e.g., 1-3/4" to 2" for round profiles like the 6040 or 1750). The length of the fitting is generally compact, spanning just enough to create a smooth transition.
Applications:
-
Residential Use: Ideal for homes where a staircase requires a refined, professional look with enhanced safety features.
-
Commercial Use: Suitable for settings like offices or public buildings where handrail continuity and compliance with accessibility standards are critical.
-
Wall-Mounted Systems: Often used with wall-mounted handrails, such as the 6040 profile, to provide support along stairways or corridors.
