In-Line Railing Installation Instructions
Prior to construction:
Check with your local regulatory agency for special code requirements
in your area. Common railing height is 36” or 42”. Pre-drill all screw holes
for best results. Read In-Line Railing instructions completely to get an
understanding of how the product goes together and how each piece
affects the other. Note: Use clean tools in order to reduce contamination on
stainless steel surfaces. We recommend using new chrome-plated tools
to protect the fittings from raw steel. Avoid installing with rusty tools, as
they leave rust deposits on the surface of the fittings. After installation, we
recommend cleaning the stainless steel parts completely with a stainless
cleaner and a soft clean rag in order to clear carbon deposits from the
surface.
