3. Measure up 34-
1/2
" (36" rail height) from the floor and mark a level,
horizontal line on the side of the post the Saddle Bracket (C) will be
mounted. Align the screw holes in the Saddle Bracket (C) with the
horizontal line marked on the post making sure the bracket is
centered on the post, and attach Saddle Brackets with #10 x 1” self
drilling screws (H). * Note: Measure up 40 -1/2” for 42” height rail. *
(An AFCO Tool will help with locating the brackets in this step)
(
Pre-drilling is recommended.)
4. Locate pre-drilled cable baluster (K) and insert over the installed
baluster connector on the Bottom Rail (B) with holes facing in line with
the rail. Install the Top Rail (A) on the baluster also making sure it is fully
seated in place.
A rubber mallet may be required to lightly tap the rail to fully seat on the
baluster.
5. Slide the Bracket Covers (D) on each end of the top tail (A)
approximately 3 - 4 inward.
Note: A small piece of tape may be required to temporarily hold covers
on top rail.
6. Slide the Bottom Brackets (E) on each end of the Bottom Rail (B)
with holes facing down and counter bore holes facing towards
baluster.
7. Set the assembled rail in place with Top Rail (A) placed in the Saddle
Brackets (C) and the let the Bottom Rail (B) hang freely between the posts.
Added temporary spacers the same thickness as the support block in-
stalled in step 3 placed under each end of the bottom rail will help to level
the rail to install the bottom brackets.
8. Slide and hold the Bottom Brackets (E) centered, and firmly against the
post. Secure each bracket with self drilling screws (H).
Note: Screw holes are angled to make mounting brackets easier to install.
An AFCO Tool will help with centering and locating the brackets in this
step.
