NOTES: Basic installation for balusters is the same for all options. When
using Architectural or Round Aluminum balusters, use correct
baluster spacers.
» If using the Round Aluminum baluster with Transcend railing, also use
Round Aluminum Baluster Connectors (P/N BK075HCON for horizontal
applications, BK075SCON for stair applications – DO NOT use screws).
Use these by placing bottom connector in tight and top connector in
approx. 1/2 way. This will allow balusters to fit tight into the rail and will
help prevent the balusters from rattling.
» If using the Architectural baluster with Transcend railing, and rattling of
the balusters is a problem, use of a sticky back weather stripping, small
foam pipe sleeve, or weather resistant caulking will help eliminate this.
All these methods can be done after the railing has been installed if this
is determined to be a problem. Unattach the baluster spacer, and use
of the above recommendations (if using caulk, make sure to not get any
on outside of railing—wipe away excess) and then snap baluster spacer
back into place.
NOTE: If installing 42" (106.7 cm) railing, use longer posts sleeves and
measure accordingly to ensure a proper cut. DO NOT CUT TO ACTUAL
42" LENGTH WITHOUT CONFIRMING WHAT STYLE OF RAILING YOU
ARE INSTALLING.
NOTE: Pictorial representations shown may only show one style of railing,
while others may also be used. Review detailed instructions to determine
what railing styles and combinations can be used.
NOTE: All Trex Transcend Railing lengths are manufactured at ON CENTER dimensions (spanning from center of each post): 67-5/8" (171.8 cm) for
6' (1.83 m) on center, and 92-5/8" (235.3 cm) for 8' (2.44 m) on center. Note that railings are designed to be slightly longer that required to allow for
very slight play in post placement – some minimal trimming may be required. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MEASURE FIRST.
