Handrail Return for Aluminum Secondary Handrail System by RDI
What It Is
This is an accessory component for the RDI Aluminum Secondary Hand Rail system — specifically a post return. In handrail systems, a post return is the part that terminates a section of handrail at a post or wall, creating a finished, code-compliant end point for the railing run. It’s designed to work with the secondary aluminum handrail lineals to provide safe, continuous graspable support.
Key Features
- Powder-coated aluminum construction — durable and corrosion resistant for exterior use.
- Color-matched to the rest of the RDI secondary handrail components so it blends in visually.
- Provides a smooth 90° termination where the rail meets a post or wall.
- Includes mounting hardware for installation.
What It’s Used For
- Terminating secondary handrail runs — instead of cutting a rail square and leaving it exposed, a post return wraps the rail back toward the post or wall for a neat, finished look.
- Meeting ADA or building code requirements — many codes require rail ends to return to a post, wall, or post-mounted fitting so they don’t create a snag hazard.
