recommended. However, the two-piece design does allow the installer to add the

post base trim after the rail has been installed. To install, apply a thin line of clear

exterior construction adhesive to the inside of the post trim where it will contact

the post sleeve and snap into place around the base of the post sleeve.

Step 5 Measure the distance between installed posts to determine the length

of the top and bottom rails. Lay bottom rail on stairs with the predrilled holes

facing down. The distance between the post and the first baluster should be

less than 4" and equal on both ends. Mark the angle and length. Do the same

with the top rail. Remove an additional 1/4" on both ends (1/2" overall) for the

bracket to fit between the rail and post. Trim the top and bottom rails to length

with the same angle (fig. 3).

Step 6 Determine the spacing of the balusters, 4-1/2" maximum on-center,

and equal spacing for the end spacing. The rails are predrilled with the proper

spacing. Use a number 2 drill bit to open up the predrilled holes to the angle of

the stairs. The top and bottom connectors will be facing opposite directions.

Attach baluster connectors to rails. Do not over-tighten screws. Apply silicone

caulk on each connector to prevent balusters from turning or rattling after

installation is complete. The caulk should be on the outside of the round

connector and on the inside of the baluster connectors.

Step 7 Position the bottom rail between posts and center. Check building code

requirements for maximum spacing on a staircase, typically less than 6". A 6"

ball cannot pass through the triangle formed by the bottom rail, tread and riser

(fig. 4). Mark the location of the bracket on both posts. Remove rail. Mark the

screw locations and predrill through the post only using a number 2 drill bit.

Step 8 Mark location of bracket on bottom rails. Remove bracket. Predrill

through the rail only, using a 5/32" drill bit.

Step 9 Attach each bracket to the post with two 1-3/4" screws.

Step 10 A support block is needed at the center of each rail. Attach support

block connector to the bottom of the lower rail by finding the center of the

rail and predrill using a number 2 drill bit. Attach the support block connector

using the included screw. Mark the location of the support block on the step

tread and attach the other support block connector to the step tread using the

included screw.

Step 11 Install the bottom rail between the posts by setting rail in brackets.

Snap top trim piece to the rail bracket. To secure bottom rail to brackets, predrill

with a number 2 drill bit and secure using two 3/4" screws. Tip: Use a driver

extension bit to avoid marring the rail or post with the drill chuck.

Step 12 Attach balusters to the lower rail by sliding onto the connectors.

Step 13 Position the top rail between the posts. Check for plumb end-to-end

and vertically. Mark the bracket location on post and remove rail. Mark the

screw locations using the bracket as a guide, and predrill using a number 2 drill

bit. Attach a bracket to the post with two 1-3/4" screws at one end. Repeat for

the other end. Lower the top rail into position, placing the balusters onto the

stair connectors while working from one end of the railing to the other. Tap with

a rubber mallet if needed to eliminate any gaps. Attach the rail to each bracket

by predrilling with a number 2 drill bit and using two 3/4" screws. Tip: Use a

driver extension bit to avoid marring the rail or post with the drill chuck.

Step 14 Set post caps on each post. Gently tap with rubber mallet to secure.
