Vinyl Handrail Installation
1. The vinyl handrail (10) is shipped in a flat coil however it may easily be
shaped easily by hand.
2. Dry fit the handrail to the balusters.
3. Ensure that the handrail overhang is roughly equal at the top and
bottom balusters.
NOTE: To assist in installation, it may be beneficial to use zip ties to hold the
handrail onto a few of the baluster tips during the installation process.
4. Mark the location of the holes of the baluster tips onto the vinyl
handrail.
5. Drill a 3/8” hole in the handrail at the locations marked in step 4. Do
not drill out the hole in the baluster tip.
6. Insert screw (K) upward through the baluster tip hole and thread on a
vinyl handrail clip (J). Squeeze the clip so the wings of the clip collapse
and then insert it into the 3/8” hole drilled into the handrail in step 5.
NOTE: If the handrail does not sit flush on the baluster tips, the baluster tips
can be bent up or down as needed with an adjustable wrench to better
match the angle of the handrail. Place a rag between the wrench and
the baluster tip to prevent damage to the finish of the baluster tip.
7. Once the handrail has been attached to all of the main balusters, cut
the railing 3” above the top baluster and 3” below the bottom baluster.
If local building code requires a longer length, cut the handrail to meet
the code.
8. Slip the vinyl railing caps (17) onto the end of the handrail to complete
installation.
