Fitting Instructions

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.  
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.

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. 16).

The handrail can terminate to either a wall 

connector, or to another newel to handrail connector where there is a second flight of 

stairs.

90° Elbow for Return 
Landings

Please Note;

When using a combination of the 
90

o

 Elbow and the Landing Handrail 

Connector to form a return landing, the 
minimum distance you can achieve is 
160mm from the centre of the staircase 
baserail to the centre of the landing 
baserail.

If you have a return landing, then our 90

o

 Elbow can be used to achieve 

this, in conjunction with a Landing Handrail Connector slide your handrails into the elbow 

from either side and check that the handrails pass the screw holes, pre drill and secure 

the handrails using the two screws supplied (fig. 17).
