Newel Posts & Newel Base Connector
Important;
Before you start, slide the AXXYS
®
newel post into the AXXYS
®
newel base connector to make sure it fits snug.
If the newel is too tight, the spigot on the bottom of the newel
must be eased so it slides into the base connector, this is
done by using sandpaper to reduce the taper on the spigot.
Please DO NOT try to force the newel post into the base
connector.
All drilling operations should be accurate, straight and level.
The Newel Base Connector can now be fitted to the
AXXYS
®
newel, slide the connector onto the bottom spigot up to the
stop, then pre drill and secure using fixings provided (fig. 9).
Before inserting the bottom newel post, mark and cut the
newel to a length of 565mm measured from the top of the
spigot.
Once cut to length insert the newel post making sure the collar
meets with the newel base, secure using a PU glue (fig. 9).
Repeat this step for the top newel assembly, but the newel must
be cut to 750mm to the top of the spigot.
Repeat this step for the Intermediate newel assembly (if you
require one) the newel must be cut to 590mm to the top of the
spigot.
Handrail Length & End Brackets
Please Note;
The bottom newel connector is a three part assembly,
consisting of a newel connector, a handrail connector and a
handrail cap, with various fixing screws, bolts and washers.
It must be fitted with the angles in the same orientation as
the rake of the stairs.
The following is a job best done by two people.
First you must fit the newel connector onto the top of the
bottom newel and secure by pre drilling and using the
two 30mm screws provided, remembering to align the
connector with the handrail (fig. 10)
