NOTES:
» Quantity of 18 self-tapping screws are provided to
cover all types of Trex railing bracket installations
(Transcend, Signature [formerly Reveal], and Select).
Thus depending on the type railing being installed, you
may have screws that are not used.
» If using 6x6 post sleeves, attach designated railing
brackets using #8-15 x 1-3/4" (4.4 cm) 316 stainless
steel self-tapping screws (

» Pre-drilling is not required but is optional for
attachment of brackets to guide blocks. Use a drill
bit slightly smaller in size than that of screw being
installed.
NOTE: If installing Trex DeckLighting on the posts,
drill hole through support blocks to allow wiring for
lights to be below the surface of the decking.
