Math used

Rail pieces = ⌈ run length ÷ 6'6" ⌉ (16'6" = 198 in ÷ 78 in = 2.54 → 3)
Joints = pieces − 1
Support points = ⌈ run ÷ spacing ⌉ + 1 (198 ÷ 48 → 5 + 1 = 6; 198 ÷ 39 → 6 + 1 = 7)
End brackets (HA34) = 2; wall brackets (HB02) = support points − 2; both sold in 2-packs

Building code: please verify locallyHandrail requirements (grip size and shape, height, strength, wall clearance) vary by jurisdiction and by where the rail is used.
