Zusammenfassung:	A connector for attaching a hollow baluster to a hollow rail in an extruded railing system includes two sections. A plug portion is adapted to be received in an end of the hollow baluster. A projection is adapted to be received in an aperture formed through a wall of the hollow rail. The projection may include a resilient tab configured to engage an interior surface of the hollow rail when received therein. In one embodiment, the plug portion and projection have axes that are not collinear and form an included angle. An outer taper of the plug portion allows for installation in stairway railing systems having ramp angles that deviate from the nominal.
