Top Newel Cap or
Handrail Landing Connector
If your balustrade ends at the top of the stairs, then you
can finish off the newel with our Newel Cap (AXEVNC).
However if you have balustrade coming off the top
newel, typically at a 90
o
angle (for return landings please
see instructions below), then you can use our Landing
Handrail Connector (AXEVLHC).
To install the Landing Handrail Connector simply slide
it onto the top newel and secure using the 30mm
screw provided, making sure you have lined it up with
your landing baserail. It is now ready for you to insert
the handrail and secure using the two 30mm screws
provided (fig. 11).
The handrail can terminate to either a wall connector, or
to another newel to handrail connector where there is a
second flight of stairs.
Intermediate Newel on the Rake
If your staircase is longer than 3.9m (measured between
inside newel faces) then you will require an intermediate
newel for added strength.
This will require an additional newel base to be installed
at the same time as the top and bottom bases, the cut
off point for the intermediate newel base is 150mm. The
intermediate newel post must be cut to 590mm before
fitting the collar and inserting it into the base.
Next fit the intermediate connector (AXEVIC) onto the
top of the newel and secure with the two 30mm screws
provided. Then slide the other half of the intermediate
connector onto and up the handrail, once located into
the newel connector, secure to the handrail by using the
four 30mm screws provided.
Finally secure the connector assembly by inserting
the 45mm bolt and spacer provided, making sure the
chamfered end goes into the hole first. Finish off by
inserting the cover cap into the bolt hole (fig. 12).
