Step 1: Post Installation
Required tools: screw driver, pencil, 3/4 dia. concrete drill bit for Installation over concrete
Place newel post in position on flooring as specified on architectural plans and as adjusted by field measurements. Center newel post accordingly. Mark flooring around edges of newel post. Put newel post aside until later.

1. Installation over wood flooring: (see figure 1A)
   Fasten iron flange for 1" pipe, with appropriate wood, in the center of the area marked for newel post.
   Thread 1" steel pipe into the iron flange. Note: pipe length should be approximately 1/2 height of the newel post.
2. Installation over concrete flooring: (see figure 1B)
   Drill (2) 3/4 dia holes x 3" deep in concrete, centered 4" apart, in the area marked for the newel post.
   Insert reinforcement rod. Note: rod length is approximately 1/2 height of the newel post.

Align newel post as marked on deck. Pour light weight concrete to a level approximately 1/3 the height of the newel post.
Do not place newel caps on posts until hand rails are installed.
Tip: If there is a concern of the alignment or accuracy of the entire assembly, pour light weight concrete between steps 8 and 9.
This will enable a final adjustment and alignment.
