Ives IVE-HB159-US3AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Our drawings spec ANSI/BHMA A156.16 L33081 handrail brackets. Does the Ives HB159 meet that call-out?
The HB159 is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.16 and carries the L33081 designation, so it answers that call-out directly. Ives also states the bracket exceeds OSHA and BHMA strength test requirements. If the submittal reviewer wants the product type and standard on one line, it is an Ives HB159 aluminum handrail bracket, ANSI/BHMA A156.16, L33081.
2) Can I hang an Ives HB159 handrail bracket on drywall, or do I need studs or blocking behind it?
You need solid backing. The fasteners packed with the HB159 are for masonry and wood applications, meaning the bracket is meant to land in a masonry wall or in wood framing and blocking. Bare gypsum board with a hollow cavity behind it is not what those fasteners are for. Ives calls for the wall construction to be verified as structurally adequate for the expected handrail loads before the bracket goes up, so on a stud wall that usually means locating the studs first or adding blocking where the bracket spacing falls.
3) Does the Ives HB159 handrail bracket come with mounting screws and anchors, or is that a separate line item?
Fasteners are in the box. The HB159 ships with fasteners for both masonry and wood applications, so the same part number covers a block or concrete wall and a wood-framed wall without a separate anchor order for either. Worth knowing on a job that mixes wall types down one corridor, since you are not sorting two different fastener kits by bracket location.
4) Is the Ives HB159 a commercial-duty handrail bracket or a residential one? It's going in a busy apartment stairwell.
Commercial duty. The HB159 is classified as a commercial product, not residential, and Ives states it exceeds OSHA and BHMA strength test requirements. The body is aluminum. That is the right class of bracket for a shared stairwell, a school corridor, or a healthcare or office building where the rail gets leaned on all day, rather than a light residential bracket.
5) Can the Ives HB159 handrail bracket be used outside on an exterior stair or ramp?
Interior is what the HB159 is specified for. Ives describes the aluminum construction as giving corrosion resistance and long-term durability for interior applications, and that is the environment the bracket is written to. For an open exterior stair, a loading dock ramp, or a coastal site, specify a bracket rated by its maker for exterior service instead.
6) What finishes does the Ives HB159 handrail bracket come in, and which one matches brass rail hardware already in the building?
Two finishes are offered: 673 aluminum clear coat, ordered as HB159-US27, and 666 bright brass, ordered as HB159-US3AL. If the rails and door trim on the floor are bright brass, the 666 is the match. The 673 clear coat keeps the natural aluminum look and sits better against mill finish or anodized rail and satin hardware. It is the same HB159 bracket under either finish, so a building that runs both is not dealing with two different brackets.
7) The spec just says "Ives handrail bracket" with no model. How do I pin down the right one to order?
The identifiers to quote are brand Ives, model HB159, part number HB159 with the finish suffix on the end. It is the 3-1/8 inch diameter aluminum bracket, commercial grade, ANSI/BHMA A156.16 with the L33081 designation, and it comes two ways: HB159-US27 in 673 aluminum clear coat and HB159-US3AL in 666 bright brass. Between the model, that dimension and the BHMA designation, a submittal or a counter order matches without ambiguity.
