Line Rail Installation

Preparing the bottom rail

□ Position the railing brackets (AA) 1/32 in. – 1/16 in. from

the ends of the bottom rail and mark the hole locations.

Ensure the railing brackets (AA) are installed on the

opposite side from the baluster holes.

□ Predrill holes using a 5/32 in. bit and then attach the railing

brackets (AA) to the bottom rail using 1 in. screws (BB).

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

Attaching crush blocks

□ Use PVC adhesive to place and glue crush blocks (1) to

the bottom of the bottom rail at mid-point of rail length to

support the rail in a level position.

Installing the bottom rail

□ Completely lower the rail onto the railing brackets and

check to make sure it is level.

□ Once the lower rail is level, mark the railing bracket (AA)

hole locations. Remove the rail before pre-drilling the

holes.

□ Pre-drill the holes with a 5/32 in. bit, angling slightly

inward to allow for clearance from the rail once

repositioned for securing.

NOTE: Using extended drill bits is recommended to prevent

damage to the rail, and allow a more perpendicular driving

angle.

□ Secure the bottom railing in place using the 2 in. screws

(CC).
