Attaching Railings and grounding them

[Deb Driesen]

Hello!
How do the railings get attached to the floor? There appears to be three holes in the brass base that arrived with the pool but no bolts or screws.

Also how does the bonding/grounding wire attach to pool and railings?
Thanks for your advice!

there are different types of railing bases - but the most common is a design with two brass cups attached to a metal plate - there should be a set screw on the cups that hold the railing in. There should also be a bonding lug on the base that holds the bonding wire that attaches to your bonding grid.

We have two handrails on our fiberglass plunge pool. We will be installing a bonding fitting and attaching bonding wire to each handrail base. Do we need the sacrificial zinc anode to prevent corrosion of the handrails? And where would we install it if we do?
