Gooseneck Fitting Installation Instructions
When installing a 2-Rise gooseneck, cut the rail drop to length and attach the easement to the rail drop before continuing on to the next step.
It is recommended that the cut be made on the easement
using a power miter box. Place the Pitch Block on the miter
box table with the Rise side down and the Rake side towards
the saw as shown in Fig. 9. Position the Gooseneck
Fitting in the saw and slide the Pitch Block under the fit-
ting to help hold it at the proper cutting angle. Always double
check your marks before cutting.

Place the Gooseneck Fitting on a flat surface. Slide
the Pitch Block under the fitting with the Rise side
down until the Rake side contacts the bottom of the
easement as shown in Fig. 7. Place a mark on the
easement at the tangent point where the Pitch Block
contacts the easement.

Place the Pitch Block next to the fitting with the
Run side down and the Rake side aligned with the
mark made on the easement in Step 1. Scribe a line
on the side of the easement along the Rake side of
the Pitch Block as shown below in Fig. 8. This is
the line to cut the correct angle on the easement.
