Gawdzira Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Working on my section and this is where the handrail on the wall measures. This does not appear to match the dbx if this is measured from the nosing. Is this measured without the nosing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 34" should be to the center-line of the handrail. But without knowing the dimensions of the handrail I can't say if the dimension is correct or not. IAE, I just over-ride the dimension text.

Gawdzira Posted November 24 Author Share Posted November 24 I checked the measurement minus the nosing and it is correct on the dbx. @Joe_Carrick do you have a code reference for the centerline of the handrail as the point of measurement? I have always seen the diagrams as showing a measurement that appears to be to the top of the handrail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted November 24 Author Share Posted November 24 This is from the CBC 2022 1115A.6.2.1 Handrail Heights The top of handrails shall be 34 to 38 inches (864 to 965 mm) above the nosing of the treads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
