and bottom of rail (sweep). Spacing of 3" is recommended for 36" or 42" finished rail
height.
Step 1 Measure the distance between installed posts to determine the length of the
top and bottom rails. Position rail adjacent to installed posts. The distance between
the post and the first baluster should be less than 4" and equal on both ends. Mark
the length on top and bottom rails.
Step 2 Remove an additional 1/2" on both ends (1" overall) for the bracket to fit
between the rail and post. Trim the top and bottom rails to length (fig. 4).
Step 3 Place the bottom brackets on ends of the rails. Attach the brackets to the rails
with a screw attached through back of bracket into each internal screw boss (fig. 5).
Step 4 Prop rail in place and mark the bracket holes on both posts. Remove rail.
Predrill screw locations through the posts, using a 3/16" drill bit at the bracket
locations.
Step 5 Secure the continuous top rail base to the top of the post using the provided
base screws (fig. 6) Note: If left slightly loose you can make minor adjustments to
correct rail level issues later.
Step 6 A rail support is needed every 2 feet (2 are included in the 6ft kit, 3 in
the 8ft kit). Attach rail support connectors to the bottom of the lower rail at 2-foot
intervals. Predrill using a 1/8" drill bit. Attach the rail supports to the support block
connectors. Mark the location of the rail support on the deck surface and attach
the other rail support connector to the deck using the included screw (fig. 7). For
Anodized Brushed Titanium Railing drill two ¼" drain holes through the
bottom of the rail to prevent trapping water. Center drain holes between two
baluster locations as baluster can block the pathway and stop water from
properly draining.
Step 7 Position the rail between the posts. Check for level end-to-end and vertically.
Predrill rail using a 7/64" drill bit. Attach brackets to the post at one end. Repeat for
the other end. Note: Use a driver extension bit to avoid marring the rail with the drill
chuck (fig. 8 and fig. 9).
Step 8 Set post caps on each post. Secure using provided set screw using a 5/64"
allen wrench.
