Attachment A - 1000BH Ligature Resistant Handrail_Redacted.pdf

This is a product specification and marketing document for the 1000BH Ligature Resistant Handrail, a behavioral health application fixture designed to meet specialized safety requirements for institutional settings.

The 1000BH handrail is approved by architecture+ for behavioral health applications and represents the only handrail accepted by the New York State Office of Mental Health (NYSOMH). Key design features include a vinyl cover that sits within an integrated aluminum channel to eliminate pick points, a ligature-resistant retainer that reduces wedge points at the top of the handrail, and a one-piece aluminum bracket/retainer system with matching one-piece returns for simplified installation. The product offers a midsize profile at 4-5/16" (110mm) in height, providing wall protection with a lower visual footprint suitable for institutional environments. The oval top rail is engineered to provide a comfortable and secure grip and leaning surface. The handrail is available in all standard solid colors and Woodlands™ faux wood patterns. The manufacturer includes a disclaimer that while the product is designed for behavioral health applications, it does not guarantee patient safety.
