rails.
(Dia.#5)
• For Continuous Level Balustrade, measure
opening from 75x75mm post to 75x75mm post.
• Cut hand & base snap covers 2mm less than
opening.
• Clean cut areas and apply touch-up paint on all
exposed metal.
• Snap each balustrade snap over the
corresponding balustrade channel until properly
seated.

TIP:
Roll the Hand Rail Snap in place to avoid
scratching the posts and put weight down to get
to the “second” snap.
NOTE: Do not install hand snaps yet if lighting
wires will be run through hand rails.

Important Note:
The hand rail snap covers should snap firmly onto the aluminium balustrade channels.
Do not use a hammer.
The
hand rails will snap by applying pressure from one end to the other. If you’re having issues snapping on the covers,
check the clips to ensure that they are bottomed out into the aluminium balustrade channels.
Base rail supports
must be installed BEFORE installing Hand Rail Snaps.
