VINYL RAILING NOTE: Closely follow post manufacturer's installation instructions or use a Post Jacket on an existing wood 4x4. 1 Fig. 1 Cut Rails to Length: Place bottom rail across post opening leaving equivalent spacing from the last baluster and post on each end (Fig. 1). Mark 1⁄2" from end of post to allow room for bracket width and expansion (Fig. 2). Align top rail with bottom rail and cut both rails with miter box or hacksaw (See blade manufacturer's specs for correct blade) (Fig. 3). Fig.
Cut two 3" temporary wood spacer blocks (not included) to insert under ends of railing sections to temporarily assist in aligning railing section (Fig. 9). Fig. 9 3" Wood Block 5 3" Support Brace Screw in top rail metal brackets to underside of each end of rail, with #10 x 11⁄4" square drive screw (sold separately) in middle slot of bracket (Fig. 10). Do not tighten at this time (allows for adjustment). 6 Slide the bottom rail bracket over bottom rail on each end (Fig. 11).
9 Top Bracket Covers: a. Ensure the railing is centered between both posts and tighten the set screws put into the metal brackets from Step 5. Top rail bracket cover Fig. 16 b. Open the top rail bracket cover to allow it to wrap around the top rail (Fig. 16). While open, make sure the "tab" fits behind the rail and against the post (Fig. 17). c. While tightly squeezing the bracket cover closed, pre-drill using a 5⁄32" drill bit through the two holes underneath.
VINYL STAIR RAILING 1 Fig. 1 Place assembled stair rail section adjacent to the mounted stair posts (Fig. 1). Measure the distance from the first and last baluster to the top and bottom posts making sure distance is equal on both sides of stair rail section (Fig. 2). Clamp into place (Fig. 3). NOTE: Some installations may require longer stair posts. Fig. 2 Equal Spacing Fig. 3 2 6 Trace the post onto each rail (both ends of top and bottom rails). Make four marks in total (Fig. 4). Fig.
3 Remove clamped stair kit from posts. Cut along all four angled marks on rails (Fig. 5). Fig. 5 4 Slide the angle brackets onto the rails (Fig. 6), and place rail section between your posts (Fig. 7). Fig. 6 Fig.
5 Mark all bracket holes (Fig. 8). Predrill all bracket holes with 1⁄8" drill bit (Fig. 9). Fig. 8 Fig. 9 6 7 8 Drive screws through brackets into post (Fig. 10). For top rail, use #10 x 2" self-tapping square drive screws (two per bracket); for bottom rail, use #10 x 11⁄4" self-tapping square drive screws (four per bracket). Predrill one side (outside of the stair rail installation) of the top rail bracket with 5⁄32" drill bit.
ANGLE BRACKETS 1 After posts have been installed, determine angle and height of railing (Fig. 1). 2 Pre-drill 1⁄8" diameter holes in base of top bracket only. Then, fasten bracket to base at the determined angle with two #10 x 1" square drive screws (Fig. 2). Fig. 1 Top View Determine Angle Fig. 2 #10 x 1" Screws 3 Cut railing to desired length. Place bracket on each end of top and bottom rails (Fig. 3). Fasten bottom bracket to base with one #10 x 1" square drive screw. Fig.
5 Attach each 2" top rail bracket with four #10 x 2" square drive screws (Fig. 6). Attach each bottom rail bracket with four #10 x 11⁄2" screws. 6 Pre-drill one 1⁄8" diameter hole through top rail and aluminum insert for each side of top rail brackets only. Fasten with #10 x 1" flat head square drive screws (Fig. 7). 7 Add two screw covers for both top and bottom brackets and add two screw caps for each top rail bracket (Fig. 8). Fig. 6 Fig. 7 Fig.
