FHC Cap Rail Typical Installation
ICC
ESR-4814
Cap Rails, (also called Guards or Top Rails) are usually 
required on elevated glass balusters that present a 
falling hazard. Examples include stairs, balconies, and 
elevated walkways.
Exceptions may be found in the ICC-ES Evaluation 
Report ESR-4814 for the ACHIEVE® Frameless Glass 
Railing System located in the Appendices of this 
document.
Cap Rails add stability to segmented glass panels and 
protect the top glass edge from chipping or breaking.
IBC and IRC both require all Cap Rails to be at least 
42” above the finished floor and span at least three 
glass panels if possible.
