VersiShield
®
Guardrail Clamping System
Installation Procedures for
Stair Rail Applications
ASSEMBLE CLAMP AND POST
Cut 2 - 2X4 studs using construction grade (stress
grade) lumber to 42 inch lengths and fasten together
using 2- inch long deck screws or framing nails to
create a double 2X4 post. Insert the post into the center
core of the VersiShield
™
and secure with a  X 2- inch
lag screw and washer through the provided hole in the
side wall (See Figure 1).
STEP TWO
PLACEMENT OF POSTS
Measure the distance between the post/clamps. Federal
OSHA recommends that the maximum distance between
posts should not exceed 8 feet on centers using con-
struction grade (stress grade) lumber for guardrail
systems.
Loosen the central tension bolt, disengage the locking
mechanism and slide up the stanchion. Flip the ring back
and under the locking mechanism to hold it in place (See
Figure 2).
While holding the stanchion firmly, grab the VersiShield
from the back where it says “LIFT HERE” and raise the
main body to extend the bottom jaw section until fully
open.
