Stairparts
Fitting Instructions
Existing Newel Bases
Important;
If your handrail is longer than 3.9m you will need to
install an intermediate newel, If you do not need an
intermediate newel ignore these parts within each
section.
Please note that the newel connectors do not
allow for any height adjustment, so newels must
be set at the correct height to achieve building
regulation standards.
Prior to cutting the newel bases down to the
correct height, the
AXXYS
®
baserail must be
temporarily fitted to the string.
First lie the baserail on top of the tread nosings
and push it up against the newel bases, mark
against the vertical lines of the newel posts and
cut, achieving a good finish (See fig. 1)
Rest the cut baserail on top of the string,
temporarily fix it in place at this stage using tacks
or double sided tape.

can be installed using the existing
staircase newel bases.
If the existing newel bases are to be used, they
must be positioned central to the stair string and
front edge of the riser concerned, and must be
a minimum of 81x81mm square, if they measure
less then the sides will have to be built up using
suitable material.
All newel bases must be cut off squarely in order
for the newel posts to sit perfectly level.
Sand if required to achieve correct level.
Once level they can be chamfered to improve the
aesthetic.
They must also have enough material once cut, to
achieve the dimensions shown plus the baserail
height (See fig. 2 & 3).
