180 degree Return Loop for Aluminum Secondary Hand Rail System by RDI
What It Is
The RDI ADA Handrail 180 Degree Return Loop is a 180° return loop accessory designed for secondary ADA-style handrail systems, like the RDI aluminum graspable rail. It lets a handrail run extend past a post or wall and then loop completely back toward itself or the mounting surface. This creates a smooth continuous return that meets safety and, in many cases, ADA graspability/termination requirements.
Main Features
- Full 180° curved return: Unlike a straight or 90° termination, this loop curves completely back, often wrapping behind a post. This can improve safety by avoiding exposed ends and making the rail easier to grasp.
- Aluminum construction: Matches the rest of the RDI aluminum secondary handrail components — durable and corrosion-resistant.
- Color options: Usually available in finishes such as matte black, bronze, and white.
- Typically includes hardware: Comes with necessary fasteners for assembly with the rail lineals.
How It’s Used
- For ADA/Building Code Compliance: Many building codes and ADA guidelines require handrail ends to return smoothly toward a post, wall, or structure so they don’t catch on clothing or injure users. The 180° return loop accomplishes this by bending the rail back on itself.
- Aesthetic Finish: It gives a clean, finished look at the end of a secondary rail run, especially on ramps or stairs.
