Installation Guidelines

Thank you for choosing PROVA for your new railing system. The following guidelines

will help you to ensure that your railing is installed as designed. Failure to follow these

guidelines could result in failure of building official inspections, voiding of warranty, or

loss of structural integrity. As local building codes can vary, always consult your local

officials for specific requirements. All components are packaged separately, and have

instructions on the back.

1. Fasteners

Use only PROVA fasteners for installing posts, fittings, or hand rails.

PROVA Heavy Duty Post Anchor For Concrete (PA23)

These anchors are 2 ¾” compression anchors for a 3/8” diameter pilot hole. Do not install

within 1” of the edge of the concrete. Use only in solid concrete, not veneers. Always

insure adequate backing is in place.

PROVA Hex Screws For Posts- Wood (PA22)

These 2 5/8” screws are for a 5/16” pilot hole. All screws are required to be anchored in

solid wood backing. (ie: lateral bracing, blocking, or framing.) Do not install within 3/4”

of the edge of backing lumber. Always insure adequate backing is in place.

. Top Mount Posts Top Mount Posts (PA1) can be used with any of the PROVA in fills. (Acrylic glass, stainless steel cable, or stainless steel tubes.)

terminals by approximately ½” each to allow for proper tightening. If necessary, cables can be spliced together in mid field by using Cable Connectors (PA28, sold separately). Cable post adjustment terminals (PA26) are installed at each end of a run of cable in fill. Separate the 2 sections, slide ball joint end through fitting on post, then reassemble terminal, keeping approximately ½” of thread exposed for tightening of cables. Carefully thread cable into each end of connector while cable is slack.

Stainless Steel Tubes (PA5) are installed through the fittings provided on your posts. Loosen set screw on each fitting to slide your tubes through, then tighten each set screw securely. For seamless tube to tube connections, splice them at the post fittings. Use the plastic caps provided to finish tube ends. It is recommended that an angle grinder be used to cut tubes. Steel tube connector/ elbows (PA10) are installed into the ends of the steel tube in fill.

90° corner for tube or cable (PA25) can be installed from post to post in the fittings provided, to finish corners. Loosen set screws on fittings and install in the same manner as steel tubes. Tighten set screws securely. When using cable, after installing, thread cable through corners, and continue cable to next post. Acrylic glass is installed with glass post brackets (PA32), sold separately. Acrylic glass cannot be installed on stairs.

5. Hand Rails Beech hand rails (finished PA3a or raw PA3) can be installed on your posts or on your wall (PA9 Wall fitting, sold separately). Beech handrails are for indoor use only. Remove the plate from the post top bracket to screw handrail to post. Note: Pilot holes required. Connect railings together in a straight line with Handrail Connections (PA8, sold separately), or at any angle from 0- 90° with Handrail Junctions (PA6, sold separately).
PAGE 7
Handrail Junction (PA6) can be installed on wood or aluminum handrails for any angle from 0- 90°, or going around corners. For wood handrails, it is recommended that you use a drilling template (PA21, sold separately) to drill 1/8” pilot holes on center. Using an allen wrench (not supplied), remove the plugs from handrail connection. Drill pilot holes (in wood handrails) or use existing holes (in aluminum handrails), and mount plugs onto handrails with screws provided.
