Step 4 Measure the distance between installed posts to determine the length
of the top and bottom rails. Note: Maximum top rail length for Continuous Stair
is 85-13/16" for mixed continuous rail and stair rail brackets while it will be 88"
for two continuous rail brackets. The bottom rail maximum length is 83-5/8" for
both situations. Cut equal lengths from both ends to keep proper spacing of
balusters. Position the railing on the stairs on top of a spacer block along the
stair nosings. Ensure the balusters are plumb. The distance between the post
and the first baluster should be less than 4" and equal on both ends (fig. 3).
Once the railing is in position, clamp the railing to the posts.
Step 5 Temporarily assemble the swivel brackets. Position the swivel bracket
in location and mark the rail and post. Repeat for other end of railing. Note:
The distance from the end of the top rail to the first stair baluster will be
1-1/16"longer than the bottom rail to ensure the balusters are plumb. Add ¾" to
the marked location on the railing and cut to length.
Step 6 Now, mark the locations of the bracket screw holes on the rails.
Remove brackets. Predrill through the rail only, using a 7/64" drill bit. Attach the
front end of bracket to rails.
Step 7 Position the rail alongside the posts using 6" maximum spacing
between bottom rail, riser, and stair tread. With the top railing resting on the
continuous stair rail, center the continuous stair bracket to be centered on the
post. Mark the bottom of the bracket. Then cut the post 3/8" above the mark to
allow for the flange on the bottom side of the bracket (fig. 4).
Step 8 Mark location of the bracket base screw holes on the post. Include the
bracket side cover when determining the center location. Predrill through the
post, using a 9/64" drill bit. Position the base of each bracket with the bracket
cover side facing the stairs, and attach to the post with two screws.
Step 9 A rail support is needed every 2 feet (2 are included in the 6ft rail
kit, 3 in the 8ft kit). Attach rail support connectors to the bottom of the
lower rail at 2-foot intervals using included screws. Predrill using a 1/8" drill bit.
Mark the location of the rail support on the step tread and attach the other rail
support connectors to the step tread. Drill one ¼" drain hole through the
bottom of the rail to prevent trapping water. Position the hole toward the
lower end of the rail, roughly 1.5" from rail end to avoid the lower bracket (fig. 4).
Step 10 Install the bottom railing between the posts by sliding the brackets
together. Attach the side of the bracket with the barrel bolt to secure in place
(fig 5).
Step 11 Set post caps on each post. Secure cap using a 5/64" allen wrench.
