Product Description

AX20.001.013.D.M Core Mount for 40 x 40 mm square post

The House of Forgings AX20.001.013.D.M is a specialized core mount component from the AXIA Square Series, a premium stainless steel railing and stair system designed for modern, minimalist installations.
  • Material: AISI 304 stainless steel (high-grade, corrosion-resistant alloy for indoor/outdoor use).
  • Finish: Satin polished (a brushed, low-maintenance surface that resists fingerprints and provides a subtle sheen).
  • Dimensions: Designed to fit 40 mm x 40 mm square tubing (2 mm wall thickness). The core mount itself is a compact insert-style base, typically with an internal socket depth of approximately 100-150 mm.
  • Weight: Approximately 2 lbs (lightweight for easy handling).
  • Load Capacity: Engineered for structural railing applications; supports typical residential/commercial loads (up to 50-100 lbs per mount depending on configuration—consult local building codes for specifics).
  • Compatibility:Part Number Breakdown: AX20 indicates the Square Series subfamily; 001.013 specifies the core mount variant.
    • Pairs with 40 x 40 x 2 mm square posts (e.g., AX20.001.010.A.SP floor-mounted post).
    • Works with flange covers (e.g., for level or angled floors) and handrail tubing.
    • Suitable for glass, cable, or panel infills in the AXIA system.
The core mount is used as a concealed or semi-concealed base for newel/square posts, allowing for flush or low-profile installations on floors or surfaces without a visible flange. It's particularly valued for its clean, modern look in high-end residential and commercial projects, where traditional bulky bases are avoided. The design emphasizes precision engineering for secure anchoring while maintaining aesthetic simplicity. Installation Guide for the AX20.001.013.D.M Core Mount requires basic carpentry and masonry tools, adherence to local building codes (e.g., IRC/IBC for railings), and proper surface preparation.
  • Tools: Drill with masonry/concrete bits (if embedding in concrete), level, tape measure, Allen wrench set (for set screws), torque wrench (optional for precision), hacksaw (for tube trimming), and adhesive applicator (for epoxy).
  • Fasteners (House of Forgings Part Numbers):
    • Concrete anchors: AX00.091.800.A.SP (expansion anchors or epoxy bolts for floors).
    • Set screws for tube: Included or AX00.091.805.A.SP (M6/M8 stainless steel).
    • Wood/metal screws if adapting: AX00.091.900.A.SP (wood) or AX00.091.905.A.SP (metal).
  • Optional Accessories:Quantity: 1 core mount per post; scale for multiple.
    • Flange cover (for level/angled concealment): Part not specified, but compatible with 100 mm base covers.
    • 40 x 40 mm square handrail tube (for angled or no-flange setups).
    • Epoxy adhesive or grout for core embeds.
Preparation Steps
  1. Measure and Plan: Determine post locations per railing design (e.g., every 4-6 ft for balusters). Ensure the floor/wall is level within 1/8 inch over 8 ft. Mark core mount positions using a template or laser level.
  2. Surface Prep: For concrete floors, clean and roughen the area. For wood subfloors, verify joist support. If using in an existing pour, plan embeds during concrete work.
  3. Cut Tubing (if needed): Trim square post or handrail tube to height using a hacksaw or pipe cutter. Deburr edges for smooth insertion.
Step-by-Step Installation InstructionsThe AX20.001.013.D.M is versatile for floor, angled, or wall core mounting. Choose the variant based on your setup (e.g., level floor vs. sloped). Installation time: 30-60 minutes per mount. Option 1: Standard Level Floor Core Mount (Flush Embed)
  1. Embed the Core: Drill a 40 mm x 100-150 mm deep hole in the concrete floor at the marked position (use a core drill for precision). Insert the AX20.001.013.D.M core mount into the hole, ensuring it's plumb (use a level). Secure with epoxy adhesive, or construction adhesive. 
  2. Insert Post/Tube: Slide the 40 x 40 mm square post or handrail tube into the core socket until it seats fully (typically 100 mm insertion depth).
  3. Secure the Connection: Tighten the internal set screws (using Allen wrench) to lock the tube in place. Torque to manufacturer specs (approx. 10-15 Nm to avoid stripping).
  4. Add Cover/Finish: Apply grout or a flange cover around the base for a seamless look. Caulk if needed for waterproofing.
  5. Test Stability: Apply lateral force to ensure no wobble; adjust if necessary.
Option 2: Angled Floor Core Mount (for Sloped Surfaces)
  1. Prepare Base: Purchase compatible angled flange cover and 40 x 40 mm square handrail tube (cut to fit angle).
  2. Embed Core: As in Option 1, but angle the core mount to match the slope (use shims if needed). Secure with anchors/epoxy.
  3. Assemble Angled Section: Attach the handrail tube to the angled flange cover first (set screws), then insert the assembly into the core mount.
  4. Secure and Finish: Tighten set screws, add cover, and grout. Verify plumb with a level on the post top
