LAG BOLT APPLICATION

Determine the desired rail placement and

snap a line on to the deck to ensure that all

posts are aligned properly (Fig. 1). Ensure

sufcient mounting structure exists in the

areas to receive posts and install blocking if

necessary. Plumb the posts using the shims

provided, secure the posts in place (Fig. 2),

and install trim ring on each post.

THROUGH BOLT APPLICATIONS

For through bolt applications, use the

provided secondary mounting plate when

securing posts in place. Drill though the

mounting surface using a 7/16" drill bit. Using

appropriate hardware (sold separately), align

bolts through the post mounting ange and

secondary mounting plate. Tighten bolts,

secure in place, and install trim ring on each

post.

NOTE: Post kits include leveling shims,

post cap, 1 piece trim ring, and secondary

mounting plate. Posts are designed and

manufactured to accept 3/8" fasteners. Post

mounting hardware is sold separately. Be

sure to use appropriate fasteners for your

installation. For commercial use, Avalon

Heavy Duty posts are required. Check local

building codes for load requirements.

Tip: Leveling shims can be easily cut using a

wood chisel or utility knife. Please keep safety

in mind during installation and ALWAYS wear

safety goggles.

Place rail panel across the opening and adjust

to ensure equal baluster spacing on each end

(Fig. 1). Mark the rail panel at the post face at

all four locations shown in Figure 1. Measure

¼" from the marks towards the center of the

panel (to allow for bracket clearance, Fig. 2)

and cut the panel at this location on all four

ends using a carbide tip blade of at least 60

teeth.

Open the paper bracket mounting template

(included with brackets), align base trim with

appropriate guide on template, and secure

template in place using a piece of tape. Pre-

drill through the desired marked locations on

the template using a 1/8" drill bit. Remove

template, align brackets (Fig. 3) with the holes

ensuring that brackets are square, and fasten

brackets in place using the 1 ½" screws

provided.

Test t the rail panel. Once proper t is

ensured, press bottom bracket covers onto

the ends of the bottom rail (Fig. 4), and set

panel in place. Pivot support foot in place

under the rail as shown (Fig. 5). (Note: If

using a section longer than six feet, use

two support feet (included with 8' panels)

and distribute evenly along length of panel).

Secure support foot/feet to the mounting

surface using the 1 ½" screw(s) provided and

press t cover into place using plastic plug(s)

as shown (Fig. 6 & 7).

Stair Rail 4. 1. 3. Measure the length of the rail panel and cut the top rail (sold separately) to same length. This should match the cuts in Step 1. Press top rail end covers onto the top rail and set in place on top of the panel (Fig. 8). Press down on the top rail to ensure that it fits snugly onto the panel and ensure that top rail end covers are being held in place by the mounting bracket. Required Avalon aluminum post height will vary based on post location and stair angle.

Stair Rail Cont’d. 5. 7. 9. For the bottom rail only, add ¾" (toward the rail end or post) to the marks made on the panel in Step 3 (Fig. 15) and cut the panel at these marks. For the top rail, cut the panel directly on the marks made in Step 3. Insert the bottom brackets onto bottom rail, align top brackets (temporarily secure brackets in place with tape), and test the panel for proper fit. Once proper fit is ensured, mark the bracket positions at all 4 locations (Fig.

Level Angle 1. Level angle rail installation uses a combination of features used in both the level and stair applications. This installation will use the same mounting base of the stair brackets and similar components, while using the preset layout on the installation template for quick and easy install. Level angle brackets must be purchased separately. Place rail panel across the opening and adjust to ensure equal baluster spacing on each end (Fig. 1).
