local building codes.
Deduct 1/8" and mark post with a pencil.
Place bottom of bottom bracket on this line, centered on post.
Install bracket with three (3) #8 x 1-1/2" screws.
Repeat this step on other post.
Step 3
Measure distance between nished posts or mounting surfaces.
Deduct 3/4" from total length to allow for mounting brackets.
Mark bottom rail to correct length.
Ensure there is equal & maximum distance from baluster holes on both ends.
Cut bottom rail and aluminum ll to length.
Cut top rail the same, ensuring baluster holes line up.
NOTE: Ensure bottom aluminum channel is inserted into rail with the DEEP SIDE of
channel facing the BALUSTER SIDE of rail.
Step 4
Place bottom rail, crush block down, into bottom brackets on posts.
Ensure crush block is the correct height, making contact with the deck.
Install two (2) #10 x 3/4" self-drilling screws through holes in both sides of each bracket,
securing bottom rail in place.
Step 2

Step 5 & 6
Step 6
Insert balusters into bottom rail.
Place top rail onto balusters, star ting from one end.
Step 7
With top rail seated on balusters, slide a bracket into position on end of top rail and
mark position. Remove bracket and push top rail to the side and install top bracket
with three (3) #8 x 1-1/2" screws. Repeat on other side.
Step 8
Set top rail into brackets and install two (2) #10 x 3/4" self-drilling screws through holes in

Adjust post height, if necessary, and install post caps with PVC glue.
NOTE: For additional security of your railing, you may elect to use the two (2) remaining
#10 x 3/4" color matched screws (supplied) using the following steps. Make certain balusters
are inserted against aluminum inserts. At the center baluster, measure up from bottom of
Top Rail 1/2" at center of baluster and install one (1) #10 x 3/4" color matched screw through
side of rail into baluster. Next, measure down, from top of the Bottom Rail 1/2" at center of

Step 1
Review all local building codes.
Wear proper safety equipment.
Step 2
Plumb mounting post.
Sleeve mounting post. If using a one-piece base
trim ring, be sure to install before sleeve.
Step 4
With rails cut to length, slide mounting bracket on rail ends.
Set bottom rail between posts, adjust height between rail and
nosing and center ange on post. Install four (4) #8 x 1-1/2" S.S.
screws in both mounting brackets. Insert balusters in pre-routed
holes in bottom rail. NOTE: in some cases, it may be necessary
to cut out some of the mounting bracket ange if covering the
baluster hole. Set top rail between posts and insert balusters in
matching holes on bottom rail. (Start at the bottom of stair run
and work up) With all balusters inserted, center mounting ange
on post and install screws same as bottom brackets.
With all mounting screws installed, snap screw covers over screw
holes. Next, install two (2) per bracket, #10 x 3/4" self-drilling, color
matched screws through the side of the bracket (Top & Bottom
rails) into the rail to lock in place. Make certain baluster spacing is
equal before installing.
Step 3
NOTE: See local building codes for height and space
limitations. Lay bottom rail against post resting on stair and
deck nosing. Balance out spacing between post and closest
baluster with equal and maximum distance. Mark bottom rail
where it intersects with posts (Top & Bottom).
If posts are plumb, top rail will be the same length. Make
certain spacing matches bottom rail and mark. Cut rails with a
saw. You may cut both vinyl and aluminum at the same time.
Step 5
With rail mounted in place, measure and mark post sleeves.
Cut post to height with a saw and clean edge of cut.
Apply a small bead of silicone to the inside edge of post cap and
install on top of sleeve (let set 12 hours for adhesive to cure).
