| Standard 40Nb
| MD504 (Straight)
MD598 (Rolled)
MD599 (Custom Bend)
| Majority of jobs
| 40Nb pipe is the standard  pipe used on products at Moddex.
40Nb pipe is steel/grade C250 that has a protective coating of G390 Hot-dip  Galvanized.
|-
| Powdercoated
ZP & PC
| MDxxxPC
P & F (ZP & PC)
PO (ZP & PC)
| Powdercoat can be applied  to jobs on customer request
| ZP & PC is used on  black pipe. The pipe is sprayed with Zinc Prime (ZP) and then powdercoated  (PC).
P & F stands for Pipes and Fittings
PO stands for Pipes Only
|-
| Powdercoated
HDG & PC
| MDxxxPC
P & F (HDG & PC)
PO (HDG & PC)
| Powdercoat can be applied  to jobs on customer request
| HDG & PC is used on pipe that has been or will be hot-dipped galvanized (HDG), and then gets powdercoated (PC).
P & F stands for Pipes and Fittings
PO stands for Pipes Only
|-
| Green
| N/A
| Used for when creating bent  pipe that has a tail less than 170mm or a front less than 50mm
| Green essentially means additional pipe length which is used on pipes that won’t be able to be bent in the bender.
Green is also used on rolled pipes to allow the machines to roll the pipe.
|-
| Black
| MD504B (Straight)
MD598B (Rolled)
MD599B (Custom Bend)
| All fabricated products
| Black is applied to any pipe that is going to be fabricated. This pipe has not yet been galvanized.
Black pipe is steel/grade C350.
|-
| Rolled
| MD498.T4 (Aluminium)
MD598 (HDG)
MD698-10 (Stainless Steel)
| Used typically on any  curved surface
Examples includes  footpaths, skateparks, and silos
| Rolled pipe/tube is  outsourced and not rolled by Moddex. Because of this, rolled pipe/tube has  its own booklet that is sent to the company that’s outsourced. Rolled pipe/tube  has an additional 300mm of green on both ends, this is so that it can be  rolled. With double span TR we can use a MD201.48 as a top fitting to allow  the rolled pipe to run through, as long as the rolled pipe doesn’t have a  dramatic radius.
|-
| Aluminium
| MD404.T6  (Straight/Stanchion)
MD498.T4 (Rolled)
MD499.T4 (Custom Bend)
| Aluminium can be applied to  jobs on customer request
| Aluminium pipe comes in 2  different aging processes, T6 which is used just as straight pipe, and T4  which is used for rolling and bending. Jobs using aluminium pipe will need to  also use aluminium 300 series fittings.
|-
| Stainless Steel
| <u>TUFFRAIL</u>
MD604 (Straight)
MD698 (Rolled)
MD699 (Custom bend)
<u>Other</u>
50.8.TUBE.LENGTH (Straight)
50.8.ROLLED.LENGTH (Rolled)
50.8.BEND.LENGTH
(Custom Bend)
| Stainless Steel can be  applied to jobs on customer request
| When used with TUFFRAIL,  stainless steel pipe is used at a diameter of 48.3mm
With this size pipe, Moddex  600 series fittings are used.
When used with ASSISTRAIL,  stainless steel tube is used at a diameter of 50.8mm x 1.6mm
Stainless Steel tube will  need to use custom fittings (Hammersmith) as Moddex does not supply standard  parts for this type of tube.
|-
| Heavy Duty
| MD504HD
MD504.6500HD
MD504B.6500HD
| Stanchions that are  supporting CB panels with an overall height equal to or larger than 1500mm
| Heavy Duty pipes are only used as stanchions and can fit standard Moddex 100 & 200 series fittings.
|-
| 50Nb
| MD505 (Straight Med)
MD505H
(Straight Heavy Wall)
MD505R
(Rolled Heavy Wall)
MD509H
(Custom Bend Heavy Wall)
| Top rail of [[Bridgerail]]
| 50Nb is used mainly as the top rail of [[Bridgerail]] to follow AS5100, standard bridge design.
|-
| 32Nb
| MD503 (Straight)
MD592 (Rolled)
MD593 (Custom Bend)
| 32Nb pipes are used mainly  in AR jobs that involve VIC primary schools which also means it has a max  rail height of 880mm, and if a lower handrail is required, 680mm
| 32Nb pipe are only used as  handrail, not stanchions. They have their own pipe fittings that are standard  Moddex parts.
In schools we only use 32Nb on double  rail systems, this includes;
AR110, AR120, AR130, AR140, AR160, CB50, and CB55.
|-
| Extra Light
| MD504.6500XL
| Used for extending MD201.48  and MD748.42 as a combo
| Extra light pipe is used  in-between a MD201.48 and MD748.42 to extend the swivel railing bracket out  when required.

Welcome to the Moddex Wiki

The Moddex Wiki is a comprehensive resource for information on all of Moddex’s products and systems. It contains detailed tutorials, Australian standards, Moddex standards, and general rules that we follow.

This Wiki is still a work in progress, please feel free to peruse this wiki and give any feedback to this email here.

Handrails, Barriers, and Balustrade

Moddex covers a range of different products suited to various different needs

For information on our range of fittings, please view the Quick Find Guide

For information on our range of fittings, please view the Fixings page.

Design

Tutorials and Training Material

As of December 2023, there has been work on new training material for new and existing drafters.

These tutorials are made to help assist new drafters with learning the basics of drafting Moddex products in Tekla.

There are also more advanced tutorials to help even experience users to refresh on some of the less used processes in Tekla.

All training material can be found here.

Rail Standards

At Moddex, we are committed to delivering high-quality and safe rail products that meet the needs and expectations of our clients. To achieve this, we have to follow the Rail Construction Standards that are applicable to our projects, such as the Australian Standards, the Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board (RISSB) Standards, the National Construction Code, and the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards. These standards provide the design, construction, and installation requirements for fixed platforms, walkways, stairways, ladders, and other rail infrastructure elements. By adhering to these standards, we ensure that our products are compliant, reliable, and accessible for all users.


For Australia this includes Australian Standards AS1428 for AssistRail and AS1657 for TuffRail.

Common Tasks & Terms in Drafting

  • CADHS

The Computer Aided Design Handover Sheet (CADHS) is a document in all job folders that displays the product, fixing type and finish as well as any special considerations needed for drafting.

  • Prefab

Used for automatically generating prefabricated steel and concrete structures such as ramps, stairs and curved walkways.

  • Construction Line

Construction lines are used as a guide for creating custom base structures as well as custom pipes, panels and stanchions.

  • Base Structure

The combination of all the custom concrete and steel beams as well as any prefabs. The base structure is constructed before any product is added.

  • Measure

Used for measuring to snapping points, such as orthogonal points, horizontal and end points. Can also measure angles.

  • Tracing Tool

The most common way to add Moddex product to a model. This tool is to be used on flat surfaces and complex stairs/ramps.

  • Drag & Drop Tool

Another way to add Moddex product to a model. This tool should be used whenever there is a simple prefab.

  • Stanchion

A post that supports the pipe or panels. Stanchions are given a specialized code depending on their purpose.

  • Fixings

Fixings are the screws and bolts that attach a Moddex handrail to the base structure.

  • Redraw

Used for deleting temporary graphics and refreshing views. If there are any visual problems with your model always redraw before asking for help.

  • Green

An extra 150mm of material that is added to a pipe and cut off before being sent out to site. Green is always placed on the shortest end of the pipe. When creating a P&P green appears on the Pick list but not that pack list as the green is removed before being packed.

  • Black

A finish required for all fabricated parts. Black finish means that there is no galvanization on the steel and therefore safe to weld.

  • Numbering

Used for allocating part & article numbers to parts and pipe so they can be individually identified when installing and fabricating.

  • Pick & Pack List

An excel document containing all the parts in a job. Pick lists show the base parts that need to be picked off the shelf before commencing a job and Pack lists show what parts need to be packed onto the pallet and sent to site.
