2 BARCLAY SPIRAL STAIRCASE Congratulations on your purchase of our Barclay 5' Spiral Staircase! Modeled on the structure of a staircase salvaged from a paper mill in the Ottawa Valley, the Barclay's decorative details are similar to much of the cast iron decoration that appeared in commercial stairways during the middle of the 19th century. The tread surface is solid with a deep embossed pattern that imitates the riser design. The Barclay is strong and heavy and very rigid giving a structurally sound spiral staircase. Each complete riser is composed of three castings which bolt together to create an elegant yet substantial structure. The staircase is supplied in kit form compromising of treads, risers, side panels, balusters, handrail, and centre pole. The complete staircase includes an extended top tread bolting to the landing, a centre pole ball, and an end scroll for the lower end of the handrail. All hardware is included. For full assembly instructions, please flip page. SPECIFICATIONS Diameter: 5' (1524mm) Clockwise Ascending Stair Rise: 8.125" (206mm) Weight: 85 lbs.

3 BARCLAY SPIRAL STAIRCASE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Stairs are supplied in kit form comprising of treads, risers, side panels, balusters, handrail, and centre pole. The complete staircase includes an extended top tread for bolting to the existing landing, centre pole, and end scroll for the handrail. 1. Install the Fabricated Spiral Landing to the top floor (if necessary). Place the pole in the exact centre of the well, this can first be done with a plumb line or simply place the centre pole in the groove of the landing. (Note: The pole can be rested on the surface of the floor, or set into concrete but this is not strictly necessary as all the weight of the staircase is taken on the bottom tread.) 2. Slide the first riser over the pole and place in the starting position of the staircase. Now slide the tread over the pole and rest it on the riser. Align the holes. The first bottom side panel fits under the outer edge of the tread. The hole in the side panel aligns with the riser panel. The three parts fasten by passing first bottom threaded rod through the holes. The first bottom riser must be raised slightly to secure the nut of the first baluster. 3. Slide the second riser over the pole and align the hole with the hole on the back edge of the first tread. Continue by sliding the second tread over the pole and positioning it in the same manner as the first tread. Similarly position the second side panel as the first. Be sure to align the holes. The second baluster will fasten all 5 component parts. 4. Continue building all the complete risers in this fashion until the full height of the staircase is achieved. 5. The extended top tread is bolted to the landing above securing the staircase in position. The staircase can be supported during the building operation with supports under the treads or by someone holding the centre pole vertical. 6. The handrail may now be screwed to the bottom baluster. (see handrail instructions) 7. When the handrail has been fitted, tighten all the baluster nuts to create a completely rigid structure. Note A The matching handrail is supplied undrilled. The balusters are supplied with 12" x 1/2" threaded rods. Note B Centre Pole is capped to form a newel post for start of upper railing. Additional matching balusters may be used. Spacing is at your discretion. Each baluster has a saddle at the upper end for fitting to the handrail, and comes with a threaded rod or lag screw at the bottom. page two

4 BARCLAY SPIRAL STAIRCASE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: Install the Fabricated Spiral Landing to the top floor and place the pole in the exact centre of the well 2. Slide the first riser over the pole and place in the starting position. Then slide the tread followed by the bottom side panel. Secure with first baluster. 3. When reached the top, bolt the top tread to the landing above, holding the staircase in position The handrail may now be screwed to the bottom baluster (see handrail instructions) 5. Adjust the second balusters to ensure it is vertical and screw it to the handrail. Proceed with third balusters (if necessary) 6. Tighten the nuts on the bottom of the balusters. Install end scroll & finial ball, and proceed with necessary railing. page three

5 TUBULAR SPIRAL HANDRAIL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS COMPONENTS: Curved sections of tubular handrail (Brass/Steel) Internal Splicing Tube to connect curved handrail sections. Cover Band to cover the gap between the handrail sections. 1. Balusters should only be hand tightened to permit ample movement. 2. Lay the first section of handrail on the baluster saddles. You want to make sure the curve and pitch follow the staircase. Each section will cover 6-7 risers. 3. Screw the first baluster on each tread into the handrail, making sure that you leave 6"-8" extension beyond the first baluster. 4. With the next section of handrail make sure the connection into the first section is a smooth transition. You may need to cut the handrail to make this happen. (extra handrail is always provided) 5. Insert the splicing tube into the second section of handrail. Remember to slide the cover band on before connecting the sections together. Continue to attach the first baluster on each tread. (if you are installing more than one baluster per tread, attach the handrail to all the first balusters on the tread, then all the second, then all the third). 6. The first balusters are then tightened at the acorn nut after the saddles are secure. 7. Attach the end scrolls or transitional bend following the completion of the handrail. Some filing may be required to remove burrs on the inside of the handrails. Note: THE SPIRAL HANDRAIL IS A LARGE SPRING HELD IN PLACE UNDER SOME TENSION. A LITTLE MUSCLE MAY BE REQUIRED. IF EXTENSION RAILINGS ARE RUNNING FROM THE CENTRE POLE, AN ANGLE COLLAR IS SUPPLIED. THIS WILL ATTACH TO THE FINIAL BALL. BE SURE TO ATTACH THIS BEFORE SLIDING THE FINIAL BALL ONTO THE CENTRE POLE.
