Concrete installation
Note: Install on a 4 in. minimum concrete
thickness underneath the mount unless
otherwise specied by local building codes.
Determine the desired post locations. Use
the base of the mount as a template to
mark the four corner holes for the concrete
Wedge-Bolt
™
anchors, included in the kit.
Drill the marked holes per the local building
code requirements. Using a 1/4 in. masonry
drill bit, drill the holes into the concrete base
to a depth of at least 1/2 in. deeper than
the length of the 1/4 in. x 3 in. Wedge-Bolt
anchors. Blow the hole clean of dust and
debris.
Cut the post sleeve to desired length.
The wood post is typically 1 in. to 2 in.
shorter than the post sleeve length. Cut the
length of the 4 in. x 4 in. wood post insert if
required.
Note: If required, cut on the untrimmed end
of the wood insert.
Locate the mount by aligning the mount
corner holes over the drilled holes.
Insert the trimmed end of the 4 in. x 4 in.
wood post (included) into the mount. If
necessary, place a shim under the mount to
make the post plumb and true. If the wood
post is loose within the mounting bracket,
secure the wood post with (3) #8 x 1 in.
at-head screws (not included) on the sides
with pre-punched holes.
Fasten mount to concrete per local building
code requirements. Insert the four concrete
Wedge-Bolt anchors into the corner holes of
the mount. Begin tightening the Wedge-Bolt
anchor by rotating clock wise and applying
pressure in toward the base. This will
engage the rst few threads as the Wedge-
Bolt anchor begins to advance. Continue
tightening until the head of the Wedge-Bolt
anchor is rmly seated against the post
mount. Repeat for the remaining fasteners.
Slide the post sleeve (not included) over
the 4 in. x 4 in. treated wood post until it
contacts the base of the mount.
Slide post sleeve moulding over post sleeve
before attaching the railing to fully cover the
surface mount bracket.
