In this <br /> condition, handrails with a perimeter greater than 6-1/4 inches are required to provide a graspable <br /> finger recess area on both sides of the profile. The Stair Manufacturers Association funded a study <br /> that determined that a pinch grip could provide graspable handrail. This was added to the <br /> Residential Code in 2001 and the Building Code for multifamily residential in 2009. <br /> PRIMARY SECTIONS <br /> WA BC 1014.3.2 Type II ('18) WA RC R311.7.8.5 Grip Size ('18) <br /> RELATED SECTIONS <br /> WA BC 1011.11 Handrails ('18) WA BC 1014.7 Clearance('18) WA RC R311.7.8 Handrails ('18) <br /> WA RC R311.7 Stairways('18) WA EBC 805.9.2 Design ('18) WA FC 1014.3.2 Type II ('18) <br /> Exit Signs <br /> and photoluminescent exit signs shall be listed and <br /> ..�. and shall be installed in accordance with the <br />
