NOTES:
» Quantity of 18 #8-15 x 1-1/4" screws are provided to
cover all types of Trex railing bracket installations
(Transcend, Trex
®
Signature™, and Select). Thus,
depending on the type railing being installed, you
may have screws that are not used.
» If using 6x6 post sleeves, attach designated railing
brackets using #8-15 x 1-3/4" (4.4 cm) 316 stainless
steel screws (not provided).
» Pre-drilling IS REQUIRED when attaching brackets
to designated posts. Use a 9/64" (3.6 mm) drill

NOTE: If installing Trex Deck Lighting on the posts,
drill hole through support blocks to allow wiring for
lights to be below the surface of the decking.
