Installation Guide

Stair Rail Step 1: Place a plank on the stair noses spanning from post to post. Place the stair panel on the plank across the opening and adjust for plum ensuring equal baluster spacing at each end. Clamp the panel in place at this location (Fig. 13). Note: Use the proper plank thickness to ensure the proper nished rail height. Check local building codes for stair rail height requirements.
Step 2: Assemble a stair mounting bracket. Hold the bracket (angled end) against the post face and in line with your stair panel, mark the rail at these loca- tions. Repeat this for all 4 rail ends. Be sure to label the top end of the top rail before removing it (Fig. 14).
Step 3: Add 7/8" (toward rail end or post) to the marks made on the rail panel in step 2 (Fig. 15) and cut panel at these marks (Fig. 16). Insert the cut panel ends into the stair brackets ensuring all are properly oriented. Test the panel to ensure proper t. Mark the position of the bracket on all 4 posts (Fig. 17). Once proper t is en- sured remove the brackets from the rail panel and paint all cuts (Fig. 18).

Step 4: Reinsert the painted panel ends into the brackets and secure in place (Fig. 19) using the supplied self-tapping panel attachment screws through the pre- drilled bracket holes.

Step 5: Separate the two bracket halves at all rail ends. Install the post half of each mounting bracket at the marks made in step 3 (Fig. 20) ensuring all brackets are properly oriented. Now set the panel back into place and re-attach the bracket halves (Fig. 21).
Step 6: Assemble the 2 piece post trim cover by inserting one fastener in each trim half (Fig. 22). Snap these in place (Fig. 23) concealing the post ange.
