Important

• Consult your local building code oﬃcial and check all Code Requirements. Purchaser has the sole responsibility to determine

whether the aluminum railing and aluminum post products comply with the applicable codes and are appropriate for the intended

use. The purchaser and installer should review the intended use of the products with a licensed professional engineer to determine

code compliance.

• Obtain all required building permits.

• The purchaser/installer is responsible to make sure the substructure/surface and the fasteners are strong enough to support the

post for what it is rated. If installing on a wood deck structure, post must be fastened into structural members. It will not be strong

enough if fastened into a deck board.

• Read all instructions thoroughly prior to assembly to assure correct installation. Manufacturer will not be held responsible for

unsafe or incorrect installation.

• Instructions are guides and do not cover every installation scenario.

• Applying paint, other than manufacturer’s touch up paint, will void warranty.

• Where aluminum base is in contact with dissimilar materials, make sure direct contact between other material/surface has a

factory ﬁnish or heavy coat of alkali-resistant bituminous paint or equivalent coating before installation to prevent corrosion,

which is not covered by warranty.

• Always wear proper safety equipment while assembling and installing.

• Always use fasteners provided in the railing kit.

• Railing has been tested by PEI and meets 2016 IRC Construction Code Standards.

Installaon

1. Attach post to a structural surface and/or subsurface

using appropriate 3/8” fasteners (not included) for

your application.

2. Make sure the post is level. Use appropriate shims if

needed (not included).

3. Install the post skirt. It will snap onto the post base.

4. Wait to install post caps until all aluminum railing kits

are installed. (Note: A multi-use adhesive such as

silicon can be used to secure the cap)

TIP:

To determine the distance between the posts, measure the length of the rail and add 1/8 inch

to that measurement.
