Installing Aluminum Baluster Adaptor Strip,
Adding Weep Holes, and Baluster Spacers
7. After bottom rail is fully installed, place aluminum
baluster adaptor strip into channel of bottom rail,
ensuring that it’s fully seated into the channel. When
rail lengths are non-standard, the baluster adaptor
strip will need to be cut 2-1/2" (64 mm) shorter than
the rail to allow clearance for the RSB’s on each end.
7a. Center and drill 5/16" (8 mm) weep holes through
bottom rail channel and adaptor strip to allow for
water drainage. Holes should be placed between fi rst
two balusters on each side and approx. 2' (610 mm)
spans along length of rail.
