articulated risers
150125100
One or more articulated riser sets can be used to solve most
misalignment problems on site or can be used to form risers
Each set comprises three articulated riser sections, and the necessary
vertical hinged connectors with fasteners
Connect together to form pre-set angles or pre-assembled for
adjustment on site using the holes / slots shown
■ Installation (typical)
Articulated riser set bridging
obstructions on site
Rigid support for the cable ladder should be provided on both sides
adjacent to each vertical hinged connector joint
■ Assembly
Pre-set angles and radii
The diagrams below show the number of articulated riser sections
needed to form a given angle and radius
1. Identify the correct fixing holes
2. Stand each component part on its side in its assembled position,
overlapping the joint alternately. At every upper joint insert a fastener
through the identified outer holes but do not fully tighten
Do not insert fasteners through the centre hole first, this makes
identification of the outer holes very difficult
3. Adjust the assembly to align the centre holes of each joint. Fit
fasteners but do not fully tighten
4. At each joint, insert a third fastener through the slot and
corresponding hole
5. Tighten all fasteners
6. Turn the whole assembly over and repeat steps 1 to 5
Section required for a given angle
Two articulated riser sections
used as a riser
■ Assembly
(continued)
Pre-assembly for adjustment in-situ
1. Lay out the required number or articulated riser sections and vertical
hinged connectors, overlapping each joint alternately as shown
above
2. At each joint align the centre holes in each component and insert a
fastener sufficiently tight to hold the assembly together and carry it to
the installation position
3. Fit the vertical hinged connectors to the ladder, see p. 42
4. Adjust the position of each section until the desired path is achieved
and tighten the centre fastener at each joint
5. Insert two additional fasteners at each joint and tighten all fasteners

Fastener finishes
For ladders with G and D finishes, fasteners are galvanised or zinc
plated. For ladders with S finish, fasteners are corrosion resistant
stainless Grade A470
For ladders with E finish, the choice of material for fasteners will depend
on the installation environment - contact

Weights
All weights given are in kilograms (kg) and are for a single
articulated riser section in a hot dip galvanised G finish
To obtain the appropriate component weight in other
finishes, multiply the given weight by the following factors :
Deep galvanised (D) x 1·07
Stainless steel (S) x 0·94
Powder coated (E) x 0·97
