Mark and drill locations in the ceiling for the top anchors, and use
appropriate screws and anchors for the substrate. In a temporary
installation anchoring screws are not required, as the post can be
held up by tightening the barrel nut against the post. If the installa-
tion will be more permanent, mark holes on the floor and ceiling first,
ensuring the post is vertical, then drill and set anchors. Finally, put
the post in place completely prior to screwing into the anchors. Also,
loosely place the set screw in the barrel nut at this time.
Optional
Once the top plate is in place,
tighten the barrel nut against
the post and tighten the set
screw in the barrel nut.
Measure the distance from
the top of the post to the
receiving nut portion of the
Top Pressure Fit Plate
. Then
use an appropriate saw for
cutting aluminum to cut the
Pressure Fit Sleeve
to this
same length. Then, simply
snap the 2 sides of the
Pressure Fit Sleeve
over the
barrel nut and
Top Pressure
Fit Plate
.
If the fit of the
Pressure Fit
Sleeve
is too tight to snap
together by hand you may
need to mechanically snap it
together. Wrap a pair of pliers
or a clamp in towels so you do
not scratch the sleeve and put
equal pressure on each side of
the sleeve to cause it to snap
together. This part is designed
to be intentionally tight, so
if you are using a very short
piece it may be too tight to
fasten by hand.
