Disclosed is a stanchion used for installation into the lower end of a hollow post to form a post assembly of a handrail system. The system includes an inter-post bottom safety member of a designated size which passes through a pair of clearance holes drilled into the post at coaxial locations on opposite sides. The stanchion has a baseplate adapted for fastening an underlying surface, and a column extending upwardly from the baseplate and shaped to fit into the lower end of a hollow post. The column is configured with at least one through passageway sized and located to allow traverse of the bottom safety member. The column is terminated at opposite ends by a pair of enclosed vertical slots located at opposite side surfaces of the column. |
