2
Install Stair Clips On Posts
• After stair balustrade has been cut to proper
size and angle, place the balustrade on the
35mm x 70mm (or hold 35mm above stair
nosing) board, between the 75mm x 75mm
posts. Use a #2 sharp pencil to draw a line
across the top of the lower baluster channel
in two places (Dia.
• Remove balustrade and bottom post. Attach
stair balustrade attach clips at marked
location as per
#8x20mm self-drilling screws. Note the
direction of the angled stair balustrade attach
clips; they should be parallel to the angle of
the stairs.
• NOTE: Installation Jigs are not used for
stair balustrade installation.

Secure Stair Balustrade To 75mm x 75mm
Posts
• Once the stair balustrade attach clips have been
installed, re-attach the lower 75 mm x 75mm post to the
bottom step or landing. Place the stair balustrade onto
the lower stair balustrade attach clips
Tip: to avoid scratching the posts, slide stair balustrade
in from the side, then downward onto the brackets.
• When lower extrusion is fully seated on lower clips,
insert stair balustrade attach clips into upper extrusion.
Secure attach clips to post with 2-#8x20mm self-drilling
screws, then secure upper extrusion to stair balustrade
attach clip with 2-#8x20mm self-drilling screws. Repeat
this same procedure for bottom post, upper extrusion
(Dia. 6).
• When upper extrusion is secured to attach clips, return
to lower extrusion and secure lower extrusion to lower
stair clips with 2-#8x3/4" 20mm self-drilling screws at
upper post and 2-#8x3/4" 20mm self-drilling screws at
lower post.
