Transfer the length of the cut bottom rail to
the H-bar.
Scribe the stair angle to the side of the
H-bar at both ends.
Scribe a second line 7/32-in. inside the first.
Note: This allows for the thickness of the
upper bracket.
The total length of the H-bar will be 7/16-in.
shorter than the cut bottom rail.
Place cut bottom rail on a flat level surface.
Align the cut-end of the round metal baluster
with the top surface of the bottom rail.
Note: If a custom angle is required, cut the
factory angled end, leaving the square end
as is. This will allow proper seating when
securing the top of the balusters later in the
installation.

Pivot the H-bar towards the remaining
balusters, inserting them into the holders
starting from the secured end and working
to the other end. Secure the remaining
end baluster, and then the remaining in-fill
balusters.
Note: It is important to ensure balusters
are level when securing. Shim the H-bar
with a 1/2-in. - 5/8-in. spacer to ensure
the balusters remain fully inserted when
securing.
Fully seat the all balusters into the holders.
Secure an end baluster first using the supplied
#8 x 1-1/2-in. flat head self-drilling screws.
Secure the balusters using the supplied #10
x 1-1/2-in. screws taking care to insert the
screw into the center “X” of the baluster. It
may be necessary to slightly over-drill the
factory drilled holes, by rocking the moving
bit parallel with the direction of the rail. Do not
over tighten.
Continue working from one end until all the
balusters are secured into the bottom rail.

Position the top brackets into the H-bar,
making sure they are inserted completely.
Insert the Round Baluster Holders into the
aluminum H-bar, making sure that the angled
hole is oriented correctly, and that the through
hole aligns with the side holes in the H-bar.
