Installation Steps:

1. Install and prepare all mounting surfaces and posts to which the TAM‑RAIL Railing will be installed. Ensure the mounting surface is level and plumb. TAMKO recommends using TAM‑RAIL post

mount systems or wood posts covered with our matching TAM‑RAIL post sleeve.

2. Measure and mark post 6" above the deck surface.

3. Position the bottom rail angle adapter on the post so that the top of the adapter is 6" above the deck surface. Place the bottom rail metal bracket (marked “B”) included in TAM‑RAIL railing kits

onto the face of the bottom rail angle adapter.

Note: These installation instructions provide a 2" clearance between your deck surface and bottom rail. Be sure to check with your local building code ofﬁcials for any bottom rail

clearance or rail height requirements. Improper rail height and clearance could create a safety hazard.

4. Install the bottom rail metal bracket and angle adapter to the post using two of the 2" screws provided in the TAM‑RAIL railing kits. Ensure angle adapters are installed evenly and ﬂush to post

corners.

5. For 36" height rail systems, measure 36‑1/2" above the deck surface and mark post. For 42" height rail systems, measure 42‑1/2" above the deck surface and mark post.

6. Position the top rail adapter on the post so that the top of the adapter is aligned with the mark. Place the top rail metal bracket (marked “T”) included in TAM‑RAIL railing kits onto the face of

the top rail angle adapter.

7. Install the top rail metal bracket and angle adapter to the post using four 2" screws provided in the TAM‑RAIL railing kits.
