Step 3
Remove end spacers, mid-spacers, and adjustable stair knuckles from rails.
Cut top and bottom rails to length.
Step 4
Insert adjustable stair knuckles into baluster ends.
Ensure knuckles are facing opposite directions (see Step 4 illustration).
Slide a baluster (with knuckles) into bottom rail.
NOTE:
Lay rail on a flat, non-
abrasive surface or have a helper assist with keeping components in place.
Slide a mid-spacer into bottom rail.
Repeat the process until the bottom rail is full of balusters and mid-spacers.
NOTE: Ensure baluster knuckles are facing the same direction.
Step 5
Slide balusters and mid-spacers flush to one end of rail. Measure open space on
opposite end.
Divide this distance in half to allow for equal spacing.
NOTE:
At rail ends, the TOTAL space should be
no greater than 8"
and
no less
than 4"
, with
equal and maximum spacing
on both ends.
Mid-spacers may need to be uniformly cut to adjust spacing.
Equally cut both end spacers to fit.
Center balusters and mid-spacers on rail. Install end spacers
on rail ends, screws oriented on the rail
ends
.
Step 6
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for top rail, ensuring baluster spacing
matches bottom rail.
Step 7
Assemble stair brackets (See step 7 illustration).
Brackets mounted to TOP POST - mounting flanges are
oriented UP.
Brackets mounted to BOTTOM POST - mounting flanges
are oriented DOWN.
Slide brackets on rail section ends.
(
Do not
install set screws yet).
Place complete railing section between posts.
NOTE:
Blocks can be used under bottom rail brackets to
hold section in place. Install self-tapping screws through
brackets into posts. Make final check of baluster plumb and
install set screws through top rail bracket into rail.
Install post caps and post base trim.
