NO-CUT STAIR BRACKET CONTINUED
1.
Prepare all posts and mounting surfaces
before installation.
Rest a plank on the noses of the stairs
between the mounting surface to which
you are installing the stair rail (Fig. 1). The
thickness of the plank will determine the
space between the stairs and bottom rail.
2.
Place the bottom rail, baluster holes facing up,
on the plank with the label reading, "This end
top of stair." at the top stair post. Slide the rail
up or down until the baluster hole spacing is
even at each end (Fig. 2). A minimum of 2
from each post or mounting surface to the
first baluster hole is required.
Trace the post onto each rail and mark
short to allow for expansion. The rail can now
be cut at these marks.
Tip: If using a power saw, a carbide tipped
blade of at least 60 teeth is recommended.

3.
Slide a bracket onto each end of the bottom
rail as shown in Figure 3. Position the rail
in place and slide the brackets against the
mounting surface. Check for proper fit and
attach to the post or mounting surface using
the appropriate mounting hardware for your
application (Fig. 4). For wood surfaces, use
wood screws (A) and for steel posts or steel
mounting surfaces, use self-drilling metal
screws (B).

4.
Insert a baluster without a tab (Figure 9 shows
notched baluster with tab) into the first and
last baluster holes of the installed bottom rail
(Fig. 6). Set the top rail in place by inserting
these balusters into the corresponding holes
in the top rail. For ease of measurement, place
the top rail to the side of the post or mounting
surface as in Figure 6.
Adjust for plumb (Fig. 7) ensuring sufficient
clearance (minimum of 2
horizontally) between the first baluster hole and
the post or mounting surface at each end.
Trace the post or mounting surface onto
each rail end and mark
expansion (Fig. 8). The rail can now be cut at
these marks.
