1.
Level angle rail installation uses a combination
of features used in both the level and stair
applications. This installation will use the
same mounting base of the stair brackets and
similar components, while using the preset
layout on the installation template for quick
and easy install. Level angle brackets must
be purchased separately. Place rail panel
across the opening and adjust to ensure
equal baluster spacing on each end (Fig. 1).
Level angle mounting varies greatly on each
installation.
4.
For the bottom rail only, add ¾" (toward the
rail end or post, (Fig. 7) to the marks made on
the panel in Step 3 (Fig. 6) and cut the panel
at these marks. For the top rail, cut the panel
directly on the marks made in Step 3 (Fig. 5.)
Remove the hinge bolts from the brackets
and remove the bottom brackets from the
bracket bases, and insert onto bottom rails.
Slide bracket into mounting bases and set
top rail onto the top rail brackets. Align
properly and test for t.
3.
Temporarily assemble top and bottom level
angle brackets. (Bracket components are
shown in Figure 2.) Mounting brackets slide
into bracket base, bracket cover is aligned,
and the bracket is fastened together using
the hinge bolt provided (Fig. 4). Align panel on
desired angle and mark the top (Fig. 5) and
bottom (Fig. 6) rails as shown. Repeat this on
the other side of the panel. Label the top of
the rail panel to simplify installation.
Level Angle
5.
Measure the length of the rail panel and cut
the top rail (sold separately) to match. Press
top rail end covers into the top rail and place
top rail over the rail panel. Press down on
the top rail to ensure that it ts snugly onto
the panel. Using the holes in the bracket
as a guide, predrill through the railing using
a ⁄8" bit as shown (Fig. 8). Drive two 1½"
painted pan-head screws up through the
holes locking the bracket, panel, and top rail
together. Once top rail is secured, tighten all
four of the hinge bolts to lock panel in place.
2.
Open the paper bracket mounting template
(included with brackets). See Fig. 2 for level
angle bracket components. Align bottom of
template with top of the base trim, and secure
template in place using a piece of tape.
Follow instructions on template for pre-drill
using a ⁄8" drill bit. Remove template, align
top and bottom bracket bases with covers
attached (Fig. 3) with the holes ensuring that
they are square, and fasten bracket bases in
place using the non-painted at-head 1½"
screws provided.
