stiffener, the U-shaped stiffener. DO NOT
DRILL INTO THE BALUSTER. Then repeat this
over every 3rd baluster along the length of the
rail. Be sure to also drill over the next-to-last
baluster at the opposite end of the rail. (See
Drawing 22C). Alternate the screw locations
every 3rd baluster, back & forth across the top
of the Supplemental I-Beam stiffener. For
details of screw positioning, see Drawing
22D. After drilling the 3⁄16" holes through the
aluminum, drill through those holes again &
into the PVC rail and into the baluster inserts
with a
⁄
" diameter drill bit.

K. Once the aluminum stiffeners have been
secured, install the decorative top rail by
dropping it into position & snapping it into
place over the upper sub-rail. IMPORTANT: Be
sure to install the decorative top rail before
you install the newel post caps! (See
Drawings 23A & 23B)

L. Install the newel post caps by pushing them
into place on the top of each newel post. (See

M. There will be a very narrow gap where the
legs of the top rail snap into place over the
upper Standard sub-rail, & also along the
bottom edge of the newel post cap where it
meets the newel post. Use the provided
Siroflex adhesive caulk to bond the decorative
top rail to the upper Standard sub-rail & to
bond the newel post caps to the newel posts.
Caulk the entire length of the top rail on both
sides. Caulk around the entire edge under
each newel post cap. Wipe the caulk with your
finger while at the same time pushing the
caulk into the gaps. Wipe any excess caulk off
the rail & newel posts with a damp rag.
Repeat the cleaning process if necessary so
the only caulk visible is the caulk that is up in
the narrow gaps. (See Drawings 25A & 25B)
