LAYING RAILS
1. The number of rails and their size
depends on the size of the system. Refer
to floor plan for system dimensions. The
direction of each complete rail should be
reversed on each run of rail. This can be
done by positioning the first rails with all
tags to the left, the second rail with all
tags to the right, then alternate each
additional rail. Rail sections are connected
together with 1/4" steel pins and are
secured with (4) 5/16-18 x 1/4" long set
screws (see Figure A). Make sure rail
sections are butted tightly together before
tightening set screws.
2. Position all of the rail sections on the floor in the approximate location where they will be used.
Use decking sections to correctly set the spacing between rails (see Figure B). Refer to decking
layout sheet for rail sizes, decking placements and locations.
3. IMPORTANT! Verify the rail locations by measuring the centerline distance (see Figure C). The
rail location can also be checked by placing a carriage on the rails and assuring that the wheels are
centered on the rails and that the flanged wheels are approximately 1/16" to 1/8" from the rail
sides.
