Column Installation Instructions

TEMPERATURE RELATED ISSUES:

PVC Columns become more brittle in colder temperatures. When

the columns become more brittle, they are more susceptible to

damage. It is recommended that the columns themselves be

warmed to 50° to 55° before installing. This can be accomplished by moving the columns into a

heated space, and allowing adequate time for the temperature of the columns to warm up. The out-

door ambient temperature can be considerably colder than 50°, but if the columns themselves can

be warmed up, they can then be installed with reduced risk of damaging them in the process. If you

are unable to warm the columns before installation, you should first drill pilot holes before screwing

or nailing them together. Be careful when nailing the columns and try to avoid striking the column

faces with a hammer. Note that if your particular columns are designed in such a way that they

include miter folded corners, which have not been folded, closed, they will definitely be susceptible

to fracture if they cannot be warmed. If a miter-folded corner does fracture, you will still have a good

miter joint, which consists of (2) separate pieces.

CUTTING AND FASTENING:

The Cellular PVC material that the columns are constructed of can easily be cut with conventional

carpentry and woodworking tools. Pneumatic finish nailers and staplers can be used to fasten

Cellular PVC parts together. Large pneumatic framing staplers and nailers are not suitable for fas-

tening this material as the percussion of the drivers of large nail guns can fracture the PVC materi-

al. Coarse thread, galvanized or stainless steel drywall screws are also suitable for fastening Cellular

PVC parts together. It is suggested that pilot holes be used for screws longer than 1 5/8".

PAINTING AND FINISHING:

Caulk where required using Siroflex brand Sealant and Adhesive provided by manufacturer. Putty any

holes using acrylic putty or caulk. Lightly sand or scuff surface of column. Clean surface of column

to remove any dirt or hand oil residue with light detergent and water, denatured alcohol, or window

cleaner. Be sure to remove soap residue with clean water. Apply one coat of 100% acrylic exterior

primer and one or more finish coats of 100% acrylic exterior paint. Do not paint columns using dark

colors (dark colors are considered any color that falls within the L value of 56 to 0). L is the meas-

ure of lightness of an object and ranges from 0 (black) to 100 (white).

Do not install below grade.

THE PVC COLUMN HAS NO TESTED STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES. The

column is designed to install around a previously installed structural

post. The structural post inside column, supplied by others, provides

the load-bearing component of the column. The load-bearing capacity

of column is determined by the physical properties of the structural

post. The architect or engineer will specify load-bearing requirements

of the structural post. Structural post must be of ACQ, CCA or other

treated lumber, ACQ, CCA or other treated engineered lumber, or steel.

DO NOT USE UNTREATED LUMBER FOR STRUCTURAL POSTS.

Possible infiltration of water and possible condensation inside the PVC

column shaft can cause degradation of untreated lumber! Bottom of

structural post should be mounted to wooden deck or concrete/mason-

ry porch floor using code-approved method and code approved post

anchor. Top of structural post should be mounted to beam using code-

approved method and code approved post-to-beam mounting bracket.

1. CUT THE COUMN TO THE DESIRED LENGTH. THIS CAN BE DONE USING A SKILL SAW OR JIG SAW.

2. FASTEN THE 5” X 3-1/2” PVC MOUNT-

ING BLOCKS TO THE 4” X 4” POST SO THE

OLUMN WILL BE CENTERED AROUND

THE POST. BE SURE TO ATTACH AT LEAST

2 BLOCKS TO THE 4” X 4” AT THE TOP, AND

2 -AT THE BOTTOM. IF A HANDRAIL IS

GOING TO BE ATTACHED, ADD BLOCKS TO

THE 4” X 4” WHERE THE RAIL MOUNTING

WILL TAKE PLACE.

3. INSTALL ONE L-SHAPED HALF

AROUND THE 4” X 4” POST AND

FASTEN THROUGH THE FACES

OF THE COLUMN HALF INTO THE

MOUNTING BLOCKS. YOU MAY

FASTEN INTO THE FACES OR THE

NDS OF THE MOUNTING

BLOCKS.

3. INSTALE UNA DE LAS SEC-

CIONES DE COLUMNA EN FORMA

DE “L” ALREDEDOR DEL POSTE DE

4” X 4” Y ASEGÚRELA A ESTE. UD

PUEDE ANCLARSE A LA CARA O AL

OSTADO DE LAS PIEZAS PROVIS-

TAS.

2. CLAVE LAS PIEZAS DE PVC DE 5” X 3-1/2” AL

POSTE DE 4X4 DE TAL MANERA QUE LA

COLUMNA QUEDE CENTRADA ALREDEDOR DEL

POSTE. ASEGÚRESE DE CLAVAR POR LO MENOS

DE ELLOS EN LA PARTE SUPERIOR Y OTROS 2

EN LA PARTE INFERIOR DEL POSTE DE 4X4, SI

SE PIENSA INSTALAR PASAMANOS, INSTÁLE-

LOS TAMBIÉN A LA ALTURA REQUERIDA.

5. SLIDE THE 2ND L-SHAPED COLUMN HALF IN PLACE AND PUSH

THE MITERED EDGES TOGETHER. SCREW TOP AND BOTTOM OF

THE COLUMN SHAFT INTO THE TOP & BOTTOM SQUARING

BLOCKS. FASTEN THE COLUMN ALONG BOTH EDGES AS WELL AS

ATTACHING IT TO THE SQUARING BLOCKS. WE RECOMMEND FAS-

TENING THE COLUMN EVERY 6 TO 8 INCHES USING 1-1/4” STA-

PLES. FINISH NAILS WORK ALSO. WIPE OFF ANY ADHESIVE CAULK

QUEEZE-OUT WITH DAMP CLOTH. THE ADHESIVE CAULK

CLEANS UP WITH WATER. IT IS IMPORTANT TO WIPE OFF THE

EXCESS ADHESIVE CAULK BEFORE IT DRIES!

6. ATTACH THE BASE AND CAP COLLARS TO THE COLUMN

SHAFT. APPLY ADHESIVE TO THE MITERED EDGES & WRAP THE

COLLARS AROUND THE SHAFT AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM.

ASTEN THE COLLARS TO THE SHAFT AND FASTNEN BOTH

HALVES TOGETHER AT THE CORNERS. WIPE OFF ANY ADHESIVE

SQUEEZE-OUT WITH DAMP CLOTH. THE ADHESIVE CLEANS UP

WITH WATER. IT IS IMPORTANT TO WIPE OFF THE EXCESS

ADHESIVE BEFORE IT DRIES! USE THE ADHESIVE CAULK TO

CAULK THE SMALL GAP BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE COLLARS

AND THE COLUMN SHAFT.

4. APPLY ADHESIVE CAULK TO

THE 2 MITERED EDGES OF

THE L-SHAPED COLUMN

SHAFT.

LA COLUMNA DE PVC CARECE DE PROPIEDADES AUTOPOR-

TANTES. La columna esta diseñada para ser instalada alrededor de un

poste estructural existente. El poste estructural al interior de la colum-

na, y suministrado por terceros, representa la característica estructur-

al. La capacidad autoportante de la columna esta determinada por las

características físicas del poste. El Arquitecto o el Ingeniero se encar-

garán de especificar los requerimientos estructurales del poste. El

poste estructural debe ser ACQ, CCA o de otra madera inmunizada,

ACQ, CCA, o de un elemento de madera reforzada e inmunizada o de

acero. NO USE MADERA SIN INMUNIZAR COMO POSTES ESTRUC-

TURALES, ya que esta puede ser afectada por infiltraciones de agua o

condensaciones dentro de la columna. El poste se debe asegurar al

suelo y a la viga usando solamente métodos y anclajes aprobados por

el código de construcción.

ASPECTOS RELACIONADOS CON LA TEMPERATURA:

Las columnas de PVC se tornan más frágiles al ser expuestas a

bajas temperaturas siendo más susceptibles al daño. Se

recomienda ambientar las columnas a una temperatura de 50 o

55 grados antes de instalarlas. Esto se puede lograr llevando las

columnas a un lugar con calefacción y permitir que suba la temperatura de las columnas. Aunque

la temperatura exterior sea bastante inferior a 50 grados, las columnas se pueden instalar si han

sido previamente ambientadas reduciendo de esta manera la posibilidad de causarles daño. Si no

es posible ambientar las columnas antes de instalarlas, UD deberá hacer unas perforaciones ini-

ciales con una broca pequeña antes de usar tornillos o puntillas para el ensamblaje. Tenga cuida-

do al usar puntillas de no golpear las columnas con el martillo. Tenga presente que si las columnas

tienen esquinas que no han sido previamente dobladas, es posible que se quiebren si no han sido

ambientadas. En caso de que esto suceda, Ud. de todos modos tendrá 2 cuerpos con esquinas bien

definidas.

CORTES Y ASEGURAMIENTO

El material de PVC usado para fabricar las columnas puede ser fácilmente cortado con herramien-

tas convencionales de carpintería o ebanistería. Para ensamblar las columnas utilice pistolas

pequeñas de aire para puntillas o grapas. Las pistolas grandes pueden ocasionar daño debido la

percusión que generan. Tornillos de rosca ancha y grapas galvanizadas o inoxidables para “Sheet

Rock” también son recomendadas.

PINTURA Y ACABADO

Macille cuando sea necesario usando el pegante suministrado por el fabricante. Rellene los huecos

usando macilla acrílica. Suavemente lije y empareje la superficie de la columna. Use un detergente

liviano y agua, alcohol natural o limpiador de vidrios para limpiar el mugre o residuos de aceite.

Asegúrese de remover residuos de jabón con agua limpia. Aplique una capa de base 100% acríli-

ca y una o más capas de pintura para exteriores100% acrílica. No pintar las columnas con los col-

ores oscuros (los colores oscuros son considerados de cualquier color que se encuentre dentro del

valor de L de 56 a 0). L es la medida de luminosidad de un objeto y va de 0 (negro) a 100 (blanco).

No instale por debajo del nivel.
