Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series 36" or 42" York Vinyl Railing Level Sections – Choose Your Length & Color

• Clean vinyl rail with round metal balusters — The York infill pairs a flat 200 Series vinyl top rail with 3/4" round aluminum balusters, giving you a crisp, modern look and stronger-feeling infill than hollow vinyl pickets.
• Available in 36" and 42" heights — Choose 36" high sections for most residential decks and porches or 42" sections where a taller guard is required by local building code or desired for extra security.
• Multiple level lengths — 200 Series level sections are offered in common 5', 6', 7', 8', and 10' lengths (10' typically in 36" height only), and can be cut to fit your exact opening while maintaining bracket engagement.
• Boxed sections with everything for one span — Each York level kit includes an aluminum-reinforced top rail, aluminum-reinforced bottom rail, 3/4" round aluminum balusters, level mounting brackets with screws, and an installation guide; posts, post mounts, caps, and trim are sold separately.
• Flat, comfortable top rail profile — The 200 Series top rail is a flat, unobtrusive profile a little over 3" wide, ideal for a clean sightline and comfortable to rest a hand or drink on.
• Hidden-fastener appearance — When installed with the supplied brackets and snap-on covers, the 200 Series has no visible face screws, keeping the focus on the rail and balusters, not the hardware.
• Color options to match your project — York level sections are available in core 200 Series colors — White, Almond, Clay, and Black — to coordinate with your siding, trim, and outdoor finishes.
• Made in the USA, code-evaluated system — Manufactured in the USA from high-quality virgin vinyl with aluminum reinforcement, the 200 Series “Professional Rail” is evaluated for IBC/IRC code compliance under Intertek CCRR-0167 when installed per the report and manufacturer instructions.

The Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series York Vinyl Railing Level Sections are a great choice when you want the low maintenance of vinyl with the visual lightness of slim round balusters. Each level kit combines a flat 200 Series vinyl top rail and rectangular bottom rail (both aluminum reinforced) with 3/4" round aluminum balusters, creating a strong, modern infill that doesn’t block the view. Offered in 36" and 42" heights and multiple level lengths, York makes it easy to build code-focused guardrails on decks, porches, and balconies, all while matching your color scheme in White, Almond, Clay, or Black.

Why Choose This Railing Section

• Modern, open look — Round aluminum balusters read slimmer than vinyl pickets, giving you more openness and better sightlines while still defining the edge of your deck or porch.
• Low maintenance vs. wood — Vinyl rails and powder-coated aluminum balusters don’t need sanding, painting, or staining; a simple soap-and-water wash is usually all that’s required to keep them looking fresh.
• Strong and stable feel — Aluminum inserts in both the top and bottom rails help limit flex on longer spans and contribute to the 200 Series’ professional-grade performance when installed with proper posts and mounts.
• Consistent 200 Series platform — Because York is one of the standard 200 Series infill options, you can mix it with other 200 Series styles (like Model or Witmer) on different sides of the project while keeping the same rail profile and color.
• Installer-friendly boxed kits — Level boxed sections ship with rails, balusters, brackets, screws, and instructions in one package, simplifying takeoffs and jobsite organization for contractors and experienced DIYers.
• Code-oriented design — The 200 Series Professional Rail is covered by Intertek Code Compliance Research Report CCRR-0167 for use as a guard when installed according to the report, making permitting and inspections easier in many jurisdictions.

Specifications

Installation

Lay out your railing run and confirm post locations based on section lengths and any gate or stair transitions. Install structural post mounts and 4" vinyl post sleeves according to Superior’s guidelines and local building codes, ensuring posts are plumb and properly anchored. Measure between finished posts and cut the York level rail section to length if necessary, accounting for bracket setback. Attach the included level brackets to the posts at the proper top and bottom rail heights, then insert the aluminum-reinforced top and bottom rails into the brackets and secure with the provided screws. Install the 3/4" round aluminum York balusters into the pre-routed or pre-punched rails per the installation guide, maintaining even spacing. Snap on the bracket covers to conceal hardware and finish the layout with matching post caps and base trim.

Buying Guide

• Select the correct height — Use 36" level sections for most residential applications where allowed by code, and 42" sections where a taller guardrail is required (often on higher decks or multi-family projects).
• Plan your lengths — Choose from 5' to 10' section lengths; shorter sections can make tight layouts easier, while longer sections can reduce the number of posts on long straight runs.
• Match color and infill — York’s round aluminum balusters offer a more open, contemporary look than vinyl infill; pick the color that best complements your siding, trim, or decking.
• Order posts and mounts separately — Don’t forget 4" structural posts or post mounts, post sleeves, caps, and trim — level kits include rails, balusters, and brackets but not the supporting posts.
• Coordinate with stairs and gates — For a cohesive project, pair York level sections with compatible 200 Series stair sections and gates in the same height, color, and infill style where available.
• Check local codes and CCRR-0167 — Review Intertek CCRR-0167 and your local building requirements for guard height, span limits, and attachment methods before ordering and installing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between York and other 200 Series infills?

York uses 3/4" round aluminum balusters instead of vinyl balusters, giving the rail a lighter, more open look and a different visual texture compared to Model or Witmer infills.

What comes in a 200 Series York level railing kit?

Each level kit includes an aluminum-reinforced top rail, an aluminum-reinforced bottom rail, 3/4" round aluminum York balusters, level mounting brackets, screws, and an installation guide for one post-to-post span.

Are posts included with York level sections?

No. Posts, structural post mounts, post caps, and post trim are sold separately so you can choose the exact layout and accessories your project requires.

What heights and lengths are available?

York level sections are available in 36" and 42" heights and are commonly offered in 5', 6', 7', 8', and 10' level lengths, which can be cut to fit specific spans.

Is the 200 Series York railing system code compliant?

The 200 Series Professional Rail, which includes York infill options, is evaluated under Intertek Code Compliance Research Report CCRR-0167 for use as a guard system when installed according to the report and manufacturer instructions. Always confirm details with your local building authority.

Can I mix York sections with other 200 Series styles on the same project?

Yes. Because they share the same 200 Series rail profile and color options, you can mix York with other 200 Series infills (such as square or vinyl styles) on different sides of a deck while keeping a consistent top and bottom rail look.
