2 . Mount the Level Stop Newel on the level run centerline at the end of the level run by threading the newel hanger bolt into the steel insert on the tread ( H ). Placing wax paper under the newel may help prevent marring the tread as the newel is tightened down . Trim away the excess wax paper once the position of the newel is permanently set . |

Install the Tube Infill :
1 . The fatory pre-bored holes in the newels are 3 / 4 " deep . In order to install the stainless tube , the holes in one newel of each opening must be drilled deeper to 1 1 / 2 " ( L ). We recommend using a 3 / 4 " Forstner bit making sure the hole shape and size on the surface of the newel is not altered in any way as the the hole is bored deeper .

2 . Measure the opening between the newels and add 1 1 / 2 ". |
M |
Add 1 1 / 2 " to this measurement |
|
3 . Transfer that measurement to the tube . Mark and cut the tube using a hack saw ( M ). |
Mark and trim here |

4 . Place adhesive deep into the bored hole in each newel of the opening . Slide the tube all the way into the deepest hole being sure to make contact with the adhesive ( N ). Then line up the opposite end of the tube to the corresponding hole in the newel at the other end of the opening and slide the tube all the way into the hole ( O ). |
