INSTALLATION OF ADA COMPLIANT HAND RAIL
ADA handrail may be required (Figure 9) for
residential deck installations (check with local
building code official). Maximum recommended
span between posts is 6'on center. See Williams's
ADA Railing Installation Instructions for all
installation configurations. (williamsrailing.com)

SYSTEM EVALUATION:
1. Williams Architectural Products (Williams) railing products have been evaluated
for structural integrity by an independent laboratory as per ]CC -ES AC273
-Acceptance criteria for handrails and guards approved February 2008 and
effective March 1, 2008 (editorially revised January 2012). Williams's Colonial 42"
aluminum railings were evaluated with a total railing span of 96"with a Williams
3" post attached at each end and secured to a structural wood frame with four
GRK RSS S/1e"x6" deck structural screws per post. The Williams aluminum railing
systems have been evaluated with 1/2"x3/4"aluminum balusters (6063-TS)
assembled using the patented UltraLox Interlocking assembly process by which
guardrail infill components are press locked together. Williams's 1/4"tempered
glass panel system (ANSI Z97.1 tempered glass) has been evaluated with a
total railing span of 72" with a Williams 3" x 3" post attached at each end and
secured to a concrete substrate with 4-ITW Redhead anchors LDT 3824
3/8"x21h° When the guardrail is installed in configuration other than described in
the installation instructions, the installation configuration and fastening detail
must be specified by a licensed engineer.
2. When Williams aluminum railing systems are assembled underthe conditions
described above, the railing meets the guardrail requirements of 1607.7.1.1 of
the 2012International Building Code (IBC).
3. When Williams guardrail is installed in configuration otherthan described
above, each installation shall be designed using numerical methods by a
registered professional engineer licensed in the state in which the project is
constructed. Sealed shop drawings shall be made available to interested parties
to demonstrate compliance with applicable in which the project is constructed.
4. If Williams aluminum railings are installed contrary to the specific assembly
described above and sealed engineering drawings are not available, then
the railing is intended for decorative purposes only and cannot be used in
applications where a structural railing system is required by building code.
The diagrams and instructions in this brochure are for illustration purposes only
and are not meantto replace a licensed professional. Any construction or use of
the product must be in accordance with all local zoning and/or building codes.
The consumer assumes all risks and liability associated with the construction or
use of this product. The consumer or contractor should take all necessary steps to
ensure the safety of everyone involved in the project, including, but not limited
to, wearing the appropriate safety equipment. Except as contained in the written
limited warranty, Williams does not provide any other warranty, either express
or implied , and shall not be liable for any damages, including consequential
damages.

IMPORTANT NOTES
• Stair Panel Actual Lengths: 6' Panels = 69.43"; 8' Panels = 91.31"
• Stair railing panels are shipped at a 37 degree angle. Panels are
adjustable.
• Maximum post spans on stair railing application is 6'on-
center. Additional posts are required on any stair application
more than 6 feet in length.
• For all other applications, consult a design professional or a
Williams representative for more information.
NOTE: IF INSTALLING POST LIGHTING, WIRING MUST BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO
SECURING POSTS TO DECK/STAIR SURFACE AND INSTALLING TOP RAIL SNAPS.
ITEMS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
• Appropriate fasteners for mounting posts to deck surface
• Miter saw with carbide -tipped non-ferrous blade
• Cordless drill
• Tape measure
• Level
• Power cords, drou sheets and safety glasses

Stair Installation Instructions
For the most recent installation instructions, please visit our
website at www.williamsrailing.com
Prior to construction, check with your local regulatory agency for special
code requirement in your area. Common residential stair railing height
is 36" ADA secondary grab rail may be necessary to meet local code
compliance. Stair post spans should never exceed Con center. For all other
applications, consult a design professional or a Williams representative
for more information. Read installation instructions thoroughly before
proceeding with assembly.
Step 1 4x cut panel

FITTING STAIR RAILING PANEL
Position stair railing panel alongside 3"top stair post
and temporarily installed 3" bottom post (Refer to
Figure 1).
Position stair panel approximately 11/2"above stair
nosing. *Tip - lay a 2"x4" board flat on nose of stair
treads.This will allow enough room for installation
of bottom snap. Clamp stair panel against top and
bottom 3" posts. Using a sharp #2 pencil, mark the stair
channels at four (4) locations.
Remove clamps and cut stair panel at all four (4)
locations. (Figure 2) Take care to cut stair channels at
appropriate stair angle. Use of Miter saw with a sharp
non-ferrous blade is recommended.
Clean cut areas and apply touch-up paint on all
exposed ends.

Step 2
INSTALLING STAIR CLIPS ON POSTS
After stair panel has been cut to proper size and angle,
place the panel on the 2"x4" (or hold 1 1/2"above stair
nosing) board, between the 3" posts. Use a #2 sharp
pencil, draw a line across the top of the lower picket
channel, 2 places (Figure 3).
Remove panel and bottom post. Attach stair panel
attach clips at marked location as per (Figure 4) and
fasten with #8x3/4"Tek Screws.

Step 3
SECURING STAIR PANEL TO 3" POSTS
Once the stair panel attach clips have been installed,
re -attach the lower 3" post to the bottom step or
landing. Place the stair panel onto the lower stair panel
attach clips (Figure 5).
When lower extrusion is fully seated on lower clips,
insert stair panel attach clips into upper extrusion.
Secure attach clips to post with 2-#8x3/4 "Tek screws,
then secure upper extrusion to stair panel attach clip
with 2-#8x3/4 "Tek screws. Repeat this same procedure
for bottom post, upper extrusion (Figure 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"Tek Screws at upper post and
2-#8x3/4"Tek Screws at lower post.
Step 4
INSTALLTOP AND BOTTOM SNAP COVERS
FIGURE 4 Following the same angle as the secured stair panel,
clamp or hold top/bottom rail snaps against 3" posts
(Figure 7). Using a sharp #2 pencil, mark the top/
CLIP bottom rail snaps at all four (4) locations.
TOP EDGE Remove clamps and cut top/bottom rail snaps at all
four (4) locations. Take care to cut snaps at appropriate
stair angle. Use of Miter saw with a sharp non-ferrous
blade is recommended. Cut 1/16" less than opening size.
Clean cut areas and apply touch-up paint on exposed
oGxini ends.
