Step A:

Step B:


Determine position of all posts. Pre-drill Pilot Holes and secure loosely with only one fastener. Use #14 x 2 1/2" Lag screws. For installation on Non-wood surfaces. For example: composite or vinyl. It is recommended to drill a weep hold just above post base plate to permit water to drain off.	Install wall brackets as shown if required. Measure up from floor 42-1/8" to the top of upper bracket sleeve and 4 3/4" to the top of bottom bracket sleeve and secure with screws or lags.

Step C:

Step D: Picket Installation

Measure distance between posts ("x"). Mark both top and bottom rail, cut to required length. Cut top rail 1/2" shorter than bottom rail. (*Note: Install support leg in bottom rail every 48").

Install bottom rail in bottom bracket attached to posts. Set top rail in post brackets. Attach both top and bottom rails to brackets with #10 x 3/4" self tapping as shown. Drill 3/16" holes through bottom rail every 24" for water drainage. Level all posts and secure with remaining lag screws.

Start against one post, snap a spacer onto top and bottom rail using rubber mallet. Insert picket and tap it tight to spacer. Repeat until you have 3-4 pickets remaining. Install remaining pickets as a group, spread out and snap in remaining spacers. Cut last spacer to fit, using hacksaw. (Option) Snap first spacer in center of top & bottom and work outwards for equal end spacing.

Step E: Tempered Glass Installation

Stair and Angle Application

Discard clear PVC liner from top and bottom rails, replace with black gasket. Place rubber blocks in bottom rail only, 2 blocks per panel. Glass then slides up into top rail and down into bottom rail and rests on rubber blocks.

Universal Angle Brackets will accommodate any stair angle or incline.

Mount top and bottom posts at desired locations on step treads. Mount UAB brackets to post while maintaining 27 5/8" between round backing plates. Use #10 x 3/4" self tapping metal screws or stainless steel screws.

Measure and cut top and bottom rail as shown ("x"). Insert pickets as in step 3. Cut last spacer to fit.

Note: Location of top and bottom posts on stair tread will determine overall height of top rail. Top rail height shall not be less than 34" or greater than 36" above tread nosing.
