How it connects

The rectangular tubular stair riser ends slide into the splice channel receiver cavities and are clamped and secured through pre-punched square/round holes using transverse carriage bolts, washers, and nuts.

Male and female halves

Usually connects to

  • Matching PEAK steel stair-riser/stringer insertion end, including 4-, 5- and 6-step powder-coated tubes
  • PEAK 2610/2611 connector

Common sizes

  • PEAK profiles are described as about 2 × 3 in with a 51.6 × 72.8 mm clear opening, and as 2 × 3.5 in (50.8 × 88.9 mm) tubing. Confirm the specific riser profile before choosing a splice.
