INSTALLING WITH NO BOTTOM RAIL
If not using bottom rail, follow these general guidelines for installing cable rail without bottom rail. For 36" finished height, 10 fittings will
be used per post, for 42" finished height, 12 fittings will be used. Your installation may vary based on stair angle and post placement.
1.
Prepare all posts and mounting surfaces before
installation. If using a trim ring, be sure to install
trim ring prior to attaching your cable and/or
fastening bottom beam.
Mark up from deck surface 1/ " on your post to
8
account for the mid-baluster support foot
(Fig. 1).
NOTE: Check with your local building code
office for design load requirements for guard
rails and bottom space requirements. All
supporting structures should be built in
accordance with applicable building codes

2.
Determine placement of your top beam
(component D). Make a mark at 33 3 ∕
deck surface for 36" finished rail height or
39 3 ∕ " from deck surface for 42" finished
8
rail height on both your top and bottom stair
posts.
Clamp your top beam in place on your posts
so that the bottom of your top beam lines up
with your marks. Mark the top beam at the
angle where it will need to be cut (Fig. 2).
(Fig. 1)
3.
The mid-baluster support is REQUIRED for
" from cable spans over 42". If the distance between
8
your top and bottom stair posts is LESS than
42", this mid-baluster support does not need
to be installed, but should still be used as a
template to determine hole placement.
Your installation may vary depending on
number of stairs and stair angle.
Using the marks made in steps 1 and 2, align
your mid-baluster support (component E) on
your post to determine even spacing of holes.
For this application, up to 10 holes will be used
for cable runs for a 36" finished rail height,
and up to 12 will be used for a 42" finished rail
height. Mark on your mid-baluster support the
height and angle (Fig. 3 a and b) at which to cut
it once you've centered it on the post. Cut your
mid baluster support.
NOTE: Only the top end of your mid baluster
support will be cut on an angle; the bottom will
attach to the mid-baluster support foot and
should be cut flat (if needed).
