Introduction - Fortress Technologies PURE VIEW GLASS BALUSTER FOR Fe26 STEEL Installation Instructions Manual

INTRODUCTION

READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE
STARTING INSTALLATION
It is the responsibility of the installer to meet all code and
safety requirements, and to obtain all required building
permits. The deck and railing installer should determine
and implement appropriate installation techniques for
each installation situation. Fortress Railing Products and its
distributors shall not be held liable for improper or unsafe
installations.
Fortress Posts must always be secured to the deck
framing and should never be attached to only the deck
boards.
Pure View I-Support is required for Canadian
Code Compliance.
Note
When cutting Fortress railing, it is very important to
complete the following at cut points:
• Remove all metal shavings from the cut area.
• File any sharp edges left by cutting. Thoroughly wipe and
remove any filings, grime, or dirt from the railing.
• Apply two coats of Fortress zinc based touch-up paint to
the cut area. If touch up is at rail ends, allow paint to dry
before connecting bracket to post.
• Be sure to remove any metal shavings from the surface of
deck, patio, or balcony to prevent stains on the deck
surface.
Torx Safety Tips
• Always use the lowest speed setting on drill.
• To reduce chance of bit breakage, start tightening with drill
on low torque setting and work up until screw is secured.
Tip: Pre-drill holes with 3/16" [4.5mm] drill bit.
