Check Stair Rods & Working Area

Check Stair Rods & Working Area

Check you have the correct number of stair rods and that they will fit the stairs you are working on.

Each set has 14 Stair Rods and they have a working range of 28 inch to 40 inch.

Lay the dust sheet on to the stairs and check that there are no other items on the stairs which may become a trip hazard.

Check you have all the rubber ends on each spring loaded rod before installation.

Lock in stair rods

Lock in stair rods

Each of the 14 stair rods are spring loaded meaning they lock into position. Lock each rod onto the dust sheet at the back of each stair.

Start at the bottom of the stairs and work your way up to ensure there is no excess dust sheet which may become a trip hazard.

Testing

We recommend that all systems are throughly tested upon completion. Whenever possible, completed systems should also be flushed to remove debris.

Hydraulic Installations

In hydraulic based installations, the system may be tested to 1.5 times the working pressure of the system. If higher test pressures are required, then please contact us for further advice.
