Newels are designed to work in Post-to-Post or Over-the-Post applications. Post-to-Post newelshave top square sections designed to accept handrails, which often times are arriving at thenewels at differing rake angles. Over-the-Post Newels are designed with a series of pin tops thatwill accept fittings. Fittings handle the changes in rake angle and run over the posts. In a classic L-Shaped stair, there are three variations of newel post commonly used:

Fitts Industries, Inc. balusters have been designed in families, so each newel pattern has one ormore corresponding baluster turnings that work in conjunction with the newels. Most questionsarise with what baluster length structure to use. Fitts Industries, Inc. has developed what we call an Architecturally Correct Alternative® where balusters will work in a 34 - 36" rake railheight – with the patterns that will not only pass with building codes 4-inch sphere rule, but willmaintain architectural alignment throughout the stair.
In many cases, the 6-inch sphere rule was minimized to a 4-inch sphere rule, certain systemschanged from a two baluster per tread to a three baluster per tread layout. Geometrically, thischanged the way the patterns would work in a Rail Oriented System. So, in June of 2001 Fitts Industries, Inc. began altering length structures so we could provide an ArchitecturallyCorrect Alternative® for those customers who prefer Tread Oriented Systems.
A simplified table of baluster & newel options can be found on pages 54-59.
