General Purpose Construction Adhesive INSTALLATION These installation instructions are for use in the installation of all standard and glow-in-the-dark retrofit stair nosings. Balco, Inc. recommends that these stair nosings be installed from top tread down. These systems are primarily designed to be surface mounted to the stair treads. The stair nosings shall be installed as follows: STEP 1. Review Balco, Inc. approved shop drawings for types and locations. STEP 2. To ensure proper installation of the nosings, all stair treads that are worn and dished need to be re-leveled with a quick setting and self-leveling compound (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). 2

4 Document Control No. SNI1002 STEP 3. STEP 4. Select a nosing, and place it into its installed position on the stair tread. Ensure that the nosing is level, plumb, and properly aligned. Use the factory drilled holes in the nosing to mark the locations for the anchors on the stair treads (see Figure 3). NOTE: IF TAPCON ANCHORS ARE PROVIDED FOR INSTALLATION OF THE STAIR NOSINGS, A CARBIDE DRILL BIT IS NEEDED. USE THE CARBIDE DRILL BIT(S) TO DRILL THE ANCHOR HOLES FOR TAPCONS. THE HOLES FOR TAPCON CONCRETE ANCHORS SHOULD BE 1/4" GREATER IN LENGTH THAN THE FASTENERS. IF SHEET METAL SCREWS ARE PROVIDED (FSM01S), IT IS ONLY NECESSARY TO DRILL PILOT HOLES INTO THE METAL STAIR TREAD FOR THE ATTACHMENT OF THE STAIR NOSING. IF MACHINE SCREWS ARE PROVIDED, IT IS NECESSARY TO DRILL AND TAP THE ANCHOR HOLES INTO THE METAL STAIR TREAD. STEP 5. STEP 6. STEP 7. STEP 8. STEP 9. STEP 10. Remove the nosing from its installed position and, drill the anchor holes into the tread. Remove all dirt and debris from the stair tread. Ensure that the treads are clean. If plugs and machine screws are used to install the stair nosings, insert a plug into its respective anchor hole. Ensure that the top of each plug is flush with the surface of the tread. Apply a minimum 1/8" bead of construction adhesive (by others) to the underside of the stair nosing (see Figure 4). Apply the adhesive to the full length of the nosing in a zigzag pattern from the front of the nosing to its back edge. Place the nosing back into its installed position, and attach the nosing to the stair tread using the fasteners provided by the factory (see Figure 5 and Figure 6). Repeat Step 3 through Step 9 for each stair nosing. 4
