• AZEK
®
Building Products accepts no liability or responsibility for the improper installation of this product.
• Evolutions Rail may not be suitable for every application and it is the sole responsibility of the installer to be sure that Evolutions Rail
is fit for the intended use. Since all installations are unique, it is also the installer's responsibility to determine specific requirements
in regards to each rail application.
• AZEK

®
before installation. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please call AZEK Customer Service at 877-ASK-AZEK (877-

• Evolutions Rail is tested as a whole system and should be used that way. It is not intended to be used in conjunction with other railing
systems or fasteners.
• The following Installation Guidelines are applicable for installation of Evolutions Rail only.
• IMPORTANT: Make sure the DRIVE TOOL/DRILL is configured or set to use the SCREW setting when driving and/or tightening
all FASTENERS.
• SAFETY: Always wear goggles when handling, cutting, drilling and fastening materials.
• Failure to install this product in accordance with applicable building codes and Evolutions Rail's written Rail Install Guide may lead to
personal injury, affect rail system performance and void the product warranty.
• The buildup or generation of static electricity is a naturally occurring phenomenon in many plastic based products such as carpeting,
upholstery, and clothing, and can occur on alternative decking under certain environmental conditions. This static electricity can
discharge once contact is made with hardware, railing, or other conductors of electricity.
