How to install clips for glass panel railing


Read over the provided material prior to the start of your installation.
This project requires a minimum of two people.
Please note, for best results store glass hardware at room temperature (68°F+ ) up to the point of install. Cold weather can cause the rubber material to shrink and lose flexibility and grip. This could cause the glass panel to slip and require retightening in the future. Installation during warmer weather is ideal.
When tightening the glass clips, be sure to tighten by hand, as power tools can damage the screws.

Locate and prepare your glass clips
Using the 3/16" Allen wrench, remove the two bolts from one side

If you do not have slots or holes in your glass, remove the middle pin
Slots are usually only needed for side mounted, post to post glass

Make sure the open face of the clip is facing the surface you will be mounting the glass from
Repeat these steps for the remaining posts on the run you will be working on

Using the 3/16" Allen Wrench, attach the larger glass clip half to the post

Using the provided suction cups, identify and move the relevant glass panel into place
Refer to your provided shop drawings to find the needed panel
