Installation Overview Summary
Note: Check local code requirements prior to installation
Start by setting up your posts on the
stair treads or level surface walkway
in the desired locations (DO NOT
FASTEN). Gently set the adjustable
cradle brackets on the posts (DO NOT
FASTEN to the posts). Next gently set
the 1.9" round pipe on the cradle
brackets to check the distance and
alignment between posts. (DO NOT
FASTEN - be sure not to let go of the
pipe as the posts may fall over).
You are only checking to be sure the
desired set up will be sufficient for
your build.
Step 1 Once post position has
been determined on the con-
crete step or walkway, square
up the post with the edge. Us-
ing a pencil - mark the location
of all the post plate holes.
Step 2 Remove the post and
in one marked location, using
the hammer drill and ¼"
masonry drill bit, drill down
4" into the concrete.
Step 3 Use the can of air
to blow out and clean ALL
concrete dust from the hole
– VERY IMPORTANT. Reposi-
tion the post and insert one
wedge bolt in the hole, tighten
halfway. Repeat the drilling
and the installation of a wedge
bolt one hole at a time. Ensure
each hole is cleaned and insert
one wedge bolt halfway – do
this for each of the remaining
3 holes.
