Zipbolt GIR0521 Operating instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the instruction guide for the Zipbolt Straight Slipfix Handrail Joining System, specifically model QT13.800. This document provides detailed instructions on how to properly prepare and join handrails using the slipfix system, including precise drilling and measurement guidelines. I am ready to assist you with any questions you may have regarding its installation process or features.
  • What size drill bit is needed for the first hole?
    What depth should the 9.5mm hole be drilled?
    What size drill bit is needed for the underside hole?
    How deep should the 25mm hole be drilled?

INSTRUCTION GUIDE
Straight Joint: (QT13.800)
Measure a distance of 38mm from the
end of the handrail. Make a mark on the
underside.
If using the Railbolt Jig, you can use
the pre-designated hole as an accurate
guide.
Drill out the underside of the handrail on
the 38mm mark. Use a 25mm drill and
drill to a depth of 35mm (Including the
infill strip).

up from the underside of the handrail
(including the infill strip).
If using the optional Railbolt Jig, you can
simply position the jig over the end of the
handrail and drill out the hole using the
9.5mm guide.

Mark the centre line of the newel post. Mark the position of the
bottom of the handrail. Make a second mark 28mm above the line.
This will give you the centre point of keyhole plate.
Drill out the newel post with a 25mm drill to a depth of 7mm. The
keyhole plate will then sit slightly under the surface. Screw the
plate in place.
Simply thread the shaft of the Straight
slipfix through the end of the handrail.
You can slide the gear housing onto this
shaft and begin to tighten.
