HOLLAENDER
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HOLLAENDER from 3G Electric.
What pipe sizes are available for Hollaender aluminum elbows?
Hollaender aluminum elbows are available for multiple nominal pipe sizes. In 3G Electric's catalog, common options include elbows for 1 in pipe (1 3/8 in actual outer diameter) and 1 1/2 in pipe (1 7/8 in actual outer diameter). These elbows create 90-degree turns in tubular structures and are used in handrail, rack, and frame assemblies. The fittings are made from aluminum with a mill finish and are designed to work with standard pipe. For other sizes, consult the full Hollaender range or contact 3G Electric for availability.
Are Hollaender handrail sections available in both steel and aluminum?
Yes, Hollaender handrail sections are offered in both steel and aluminum. The steel versions typically have a black finish, while aluminum sections come in a silver finish. Both are floor-mounted, round, and feature two rail levels. They measure 5 in x 5 in and are supplied without toe boards unless specified. These sections are used to construct safety barriers and guardrails along walkways, platforms, and stairs. Material selection depends on factors such as required strength, corrosion resistance, and weight considerations.
What is the finish on Hollaender structural pipe fittings?
Hollaender structural pipe fittings are commonly supplied with a mill finish, which is a standard untreated surface for aluminum and steel. This finish is suitable for indoor applications or where additional coating is applied after installation. Some fittings may also be available in other finishes; however, the standard catalog items from 3G Electric are mill finish. For specific finish requirements, verify with 3G Electric's technical team to ensure compatibility with the intended environment.
Can Hollaender handrail sections be used for fall protection?
Hollaender handrail sections are designed for use in safety barriers and guardrails, which can contribute to fall protection systems when installed according to applicable codes and standards. The sections are floor-mounted and feature two rail levels, providing a structural framework for guardrails. However, fall protection requirements vary by jurisdiction and application. It is the responsibility of the specifying engineer to ensure that the complete system, including components and installation, meets relevant safety regulations. 3G Electric supplies the components but does not provide engineering certification.
How does the set-screw design of Hollaender fittings benefit installation?
Hollaender fittings use set screws to secure pipe connections, eliminating the need for welding or threading. This allows for rapid assembly and disassembly using basic hand tools. The design is advantageous for on-site modifications, temporary structures, or maintenance activities where access is limited. It also reduces the need for hot work permits and specialized labor. The resulting joints are rigid and can be adjusted if needed. This modular approach is common in industrial environments where flexibility and speed of installation are important.
