Position the lower post insert as shown at

NOTE: RDI railing kits are manufactured for
a 36" or 42" finished-rail height with a 2"
standard bottom space. If other heights or
bottom spaces are desired, adjust the height
of the post insert accordingly.
NOTE: If installing ADA Hand Rail
post, determine the mounting location and
create sufficient attachment by blocking
out post with 1" material or by purchasing
a third post insert and installing at desired
location (Fig 7).

desired rail height enough to allow clearance
for a post cap (Fig. 8).
NOTE: If using a turned newel sleeve*, be
sure to leave enough flat area to accept rail
™ onto a attachment brackets (Fig. 9). Remove the top
post insert set screw and the post insert. Use
this screw to attach the bottom post insert
to the post. Slide the top insert onto the post
after the turned sleeve has been installed.

the bottom of the bottom rail to the top of
the top rail.

attachment of the stair brackets.
