Attach rosette before
installing handrail.
The rake rail height should be between 36”– 42” (H1) (check local building codes).
Center the assembled handrail over the newel locations. Measure the distance between
the tread and the bottom of the handrail fitting (A1 and A2). Also measure the rake rail
thickness (T1). Use the following formula to calculate the starting newel height.
If the newel starts from the floor or a lower tread, add that distance as well.
