FIXED ANGLE ADAPTER INSTALLATION 22.5° on Post Mount
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.
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 can create a safety hazard.
4. Install the bottom rail metal bracket and angle adapter to the post using two of the supplied 1‑3/4" screws. 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 top of the deck surface and mark post.
6. Position the top rail angle 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 kit onto the face of the
top rail angle adapter.
7. Install the top rail metal bracket and angle adapter to the post as illustrated and according to these instructions:
a. When installing a “LEFT” top rail angle adapter, install two of the supplied 1‑3/4" screws through the left‑side holes of the metal bracket and angle adapter. Install two of the supplied 3"
self‑drilling screws through the right‑side holes and into the metal post.
b. When installing a “RIGHT” top rail angle adapter, install two of the supplied 1‑3/4" screws through the right‑side holes of the metal bracket and angle adapter. Install two of the supplied 3"
self‑drilling screws through the left‑side holes and into the metal post.
