Post design for corrosion resistance railing and method for installation

A railing support system for resisting corrosion due to installation in concrete substrates and for simplifying installation, said system comprising:

• a housing adapted for insertion in a railing post;
• a corrosion resistant sleeve formed in said housing;
• a plurality of rigid support members extending from said sleeve and integrally formed with said housing, said sleeve, support members and housing defining a plurality of channels;
• a mounting arm permanently secured to and in said sleeve such that said mounting arm does not move relative to or in said sleeve;
• said mounting arm having a distal end and a lower threadless section extending to said distal end and extending out of said sleeve for placement in a hole formed in a concrete substrate;
• and
• means for permanently securing said mounting arm in said sleeve;
• said housing, mounting arm, sleeve and support member being permanently joined as an integral device.

A method for installing a railing support system having a post and mounting arm, said method comprising the steps of:

• forming a hole in a concrete substrate;
• installing a mounting arm having an upper section with at least on rib projection and a threadless lower section in a sleeve housing having a housing body, a sleeve and support members such that said lower section of said mounting arm extends outside said sleeve housing, said sleeve housing being permanently disposed in a post wherein said support members extend to and are integrally formed with said post;
• securing said upper section of said mounting arm in said sleeve;
• inserting said threadless lower section of said mounting arm in said hole;
• securing said threadless lower section of said mounting arm in said hole with a bonding agent;
• and said threadless lower section extending to a distal end of said mounting arm;
• and
• inserting said sleeve housing in a post.
