FHC Handrail Brackets & Components 
Step 1
Order tempered or laminated tempered 
glass with 3/4" diameter holes in the glass 
panels. FHC Handrail Brackets, for glass 
balusters, require 3/4" holes in order to 
provide clearance for the mounting plates 
and allow movement for minor adjustments 
when required. Refer to your shop drawings 
for hole locations.
Step 2
Install the brackets for the entire run of 
handrail on one side. Leave each bracket 
slightly loose so they can be positioned to 
match the handrails.
Step 3
Temporarily clamp the handrail to 
the bracket saddles and attach with 
the bracket screws provided. Refer 
to FHC website, fhc-usa.com for 
a complete collection of handrail 
hardware and expert advice.
NOTE: Reference the FHC 
ESR-4814 for recommended
