Pre-Installation (continued) PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE RAILING IMPORTANT: Please read and follow the instructions in this section before you begin installation of your railing products. NOTE: Rail and baluster lengths will vary slightly due to manufacturing processes. Make sure rails and balusters are cut properly to correct length, and with hole pattern centered between posts before securing. NOTE: For best results, cut post sleeves with a carbide-tipped balde, minimum 32-tooth.
Pre-Installation (continued) □□ Transfer the measurement to the top rail, making sure that the distance from the end of the rail to the first baluster slot is equal on both ends of the rail. The minimum distance from a post to first baluster slot is 2 -1/8 in. for clearance from the brackets. (See Fig. 3) 2-1/8 in. Fig. 3 □□ Place the rails together so that the top and bottom baluster slots are aligned. Mark the bottom rail for the inside distance between the posts (see Fig. 4).
Line Rail Installation 1 2 Preparing the bottom rail □□ Position the railing brackets (AA) 1/32 in. – 1/16 in. from the ends of the bottom rail and mark the hole locations. Ensure the railing brackets (AA) are installed on the opposite side from the baluster holes. Attaching crush blocks □□ Use PVC adhesive to place and glue crush blocks (1) to the bottom of the bottom rail at mid-point of rail length to support the rail in a level position. □□ Predrill holes using a 5/32 in.
Line Rail Installation (continued) 4 5 Preparing the top rail □□ Position the railing bracket (AA) 1/32 in. – 1/16 in. from the ends of the top rail and mark the hole locations. Ensure railing brackets are installed on the side of the top rail with the baluster holes. Inserting balusters □□ Insert a baluster into the first and last baluster holes in the bottom rail. NOTE: Baluster length may vary slightly. Make sure all balusters are cut to the correct length. □□ Predrill holes using a 5/32 in.
Line Rail Installation (continued) 8 9 Installing the balusters and top rail □□ Insert all balusters into the bottom rail. Reposition the top rail over the balusters, and lower into place between the posts. After the top rail is fully seated, secure using 2 in. screws (CC). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Installing the post caps □□ Complete the installation by installing the post cap in place.
Pre-Assembled Rail Installation (continued) 3 Installing the crush block □□ With the brackets secured to the rails, use PVC adhesive to place and glue crush block to the bottom of the bottom rail at the mid-point of the rail length to support the rail in a level position. 5 Securing the rail □□ Secure the top rail with the 2 in. screws (CC). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. 4 Marking and drilling the railing locations □□ Carefully lower the rail assembly and mark the holes for the railing brackets.
Stair Railing Installation SPECIAL NOTES ON STAIR RAILING The stair systems are designed for the typical angles created by an approximate 7 in. rise/11 in. run with allowance for accepted variation in components. The Enclave stair system allows for a 30-34 degree stair angle. Building codes are very specific on allowable angles and widths. It is very important to consult with your local building code officials and plan your stair layout accordingly.
Stair Railing Installation (continued) 5 Preparing the bottom rail installation □□ Place the bottom rail between the posts. Using the bracket as a guide, mark the location of the holes on the posts. Remove the rail before pre-drilling the holes. 6 Installing the bottom rail □□ Place the crush block on the stair tread surface midway between the posts and glue to bottom of bottom rail. □□ Secure the bottom rail to the post at both ends using the 2 in. screws (FF). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Stair Railing Installation (continued) 9 10 Installing the caps Installing the top rail □□ Fully insert all balusters and secure the top railing using the 2 in. screws (FF). □□ Complete the installation by installing the post cap in place. You can use a quality exterior adhesive in order to do this but note that you will not be able to remove the cap at a later time once it is glued.
Angle Bracket Installation NOTE: The angle bracket is available as a Special Order purchase, or from homedepot.com. 1 Determining the angle of installation NOTE: Not for stair applications. Rails up to 20˚ may be mounted to the post face by using the In-Line “L” bracket. Cut rails at the appropriate angle to fit tight against post. Cutting rails greater than 20˚ will result in a rail that does not fully fit on the post. Angles greater than 20˚ require the use of the angle bracket. (Sold separately.
