Description
NP2218 Recessed-Panel Newel Post
Finish your railing layout with a defined architectural detail. The NP2218 combines a tall recessed panel with molded corner detailing in high-density polyurethane. Use it where railing sections end, meet, or turn, with the appropriate post anchors and rail attachment brackets.
Fits rails: no Spectis rail is within about 1" of this post width. Contact us for pairing advice.

Plan your order & delivery
Made for your project
NP2218 is made to order and cannot be returned. Confirm dimensions, panel arrangement, quantity, cap, and hardware before purchasing.
Orders with long rails
An order containing long rails ships by LTL freight. Shipping arrangements depend on the complete order.
Check the delivery address
LTL freight requires a verified commercial address accessible to a 52-foot trailer. A home-based business does not qualify. If the carrier classifies the address as residential, a $275 fee applies; you will receive a confirmation letter to correct the address or pay the additional freight.
Allow time for production
The current estimate is typically 2–3 weeks from the order date. Contact us before ordering if your project has a specific deadline.
Match the post & hardware
The post uses two hardware connections: an anchor kit secures it to the mounting surface, and railing brackets attach the rails to the post.
Concrete mounting
KIN06-C anchor kit
Choose the newel-post anchor kit for concrete.
Wood mounting
KIN06-W anchor kit
Choose the newel-post anchor kit for wood.
Rail-to-post connections
Use compatible railing brackets or L-brackets selected for your handrail profile. The post anchor and rail attachment brackets serve different purposes.
Complete the assembly
Coordinate your rails, balusters, and newel cap. Confirm the panel arrangement and hardware before ordering.
How the rails connect
The L-brackets shown illustrate rail-to-post hardware. Select the exact kit for your chosen railing profile; bracket sizes and kit contents vary.
The KIN06-C and KIN06-W kits anchor the post to the mounting surface. Railing brackets connect the handrails to the post.
Check the fit
Allow for the full 9⅝″ square footprint and 48″ height. The recessed panel is shown as 5⅝″ wide × 34⅞″ high on the manufacturer’s drawing.
The drawing shows straight, corner, end, and full panel arrangements. Confirm the arrangement for each post location, along with the rail connection points and matching cap.
Installation & finishing
- Choose the correct anchor kit for the mounting surface and follow the Spectis newel-post installation instructions.
- Connect the rails with compatible brackets selected for the rail profile.
- Use ADH100 adhesive on all bedding and butt joints.
- Paint the double-primed surface promptly after installation. Nails, screws, and adhesive are sold separately.
