Line Rail Installation (continued)

Installing the balusters and top rail

□ Insert all balusters into the bottom rail. Reposition the

top rail over the balusters, and lower into place between

the posts. After the top rail is fully seated, secure using

1-1/4in. screws (CC). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

NOTE: Using extended drill bits is recommended to prevent

damage to the rail, and allow a more perpendicular driving

angle.

Installing the post caps

□ Complete the installation by installing the post cap in place.

You can use a quality exterior adhesive in order to do this,

but note that you will not be able to remove the cap at a

later time once it is glued.

Stair Railing Installation

SPECIAL NOTES ON STAIR RAILING

The stair systems are designed for the typical angles created by an approximate 7 in. rise/11 in. run with allowance for accepted

variation in components. The Regency stair system allows for a 30-34 degree stair angle. Building codes are very specic on allowable

angles and widths. It is very important to consult with your local building code ofcials and plan your stair layout accordingly. Ensure that

you leave adequate space for graspable hand rail if applicable. “Dry tting” intermediate post placement will result in easier and better

looking installations and may avoid placement of post mounting brackets in areas where screws cannot attach to the guardrail.

Determining the angle for the railing

□ Using a 2 x 4 over the steps to create a consistent angle,

place the bottom rail (1) over the 2 x 4 and mark the end

angles for the bottom rail.

Marking the angles

□ Align the top rail (1) on top of the bottom rail (2), ensuring

the baluster holes are facing each other. Then mark the

angle of the bottom rail to the top rail.

NOTE: Make sure that when the holes are aligned, the

stair angle is continuous across both pieces. The minimum

distance from post to rst baluster slot is 1-1/2 in. for

clearance from the brackets.
