Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Confirm your rail tubing is 1.90″ OD before ordering (anchors are size-specific).
- Use the included 2″ spacer only when your rail/lادهr requires a shallower 4″ socket depth.
- Set anchors plumb and square to help prevent rail wobble and reduce deck stress.
- Use the ground screw for proper bonding/grounding as required by local electrical code.
- Periodically inspect and re-tighten wedge/bolt hardware if rails loosen over time (especially after freeze/thaw or heavy use).
