Aluminum Handrail Installation
1. Once the Handrail has been shaped, dry fit the rail to the baluster tips.
NOTE: The handrail may be slightly kinked on both ends. This is normal and
the handrail should be positioned so that these ends can be cut off after
installation.
2. Working together with another person, start at the top of the stair and
install each screw (R) through the hole in the tip of each main baluster.
Push or pull the handrail as needed to match it up with the baluster tip.
NOTE: To assist in installation, it may be beneficial to use zip ties to hold the
handrail onto the baluster tips during the installation process.
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.
3. 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 your local building code requires a longer length, cut the handrail to
meet the code.
4. Use the supplied two-part epoxy to bond the endcaps (13) to the
handrail.
