Hole types
Our pre-drilled posts are designed with several hole types to work for different positions. Hole type selection is also related to the terminal type you decide to use.
Level holes(H) - holes on two opposite planes for terminals and cables to go through in a horizontal direction.
Angle holes(A) - holes on two opposite planes for terminals and cables to go through on an angle direction around 30°. Holes on one side are higher than on the other side.
Neighbor holes(C) - holes on two adjacent planes for one post corner solution.
3 level holes(3) - holes on 3 planes for through-hole terminals to go with inner terminals
Single hole(S) - holes on only one plane for end posts to go with inner terminals.
No hole(N) - there are no pre-drilled holes. You can drill it yourself for any hole type.
Level to angle corner holes(D) - holes on two adjacent planes for one post corner solution from a level section to an angle section. Holes on the level side are higher than on the other side.
Single high holes(T) - holes are on only the higher side for starter posts of stair railing to get a neat look on the other side.
02-2 Handrails
In this system, we recommend HT30 thin rectangle stainless steel handrail (3/8" thickness) to get the best view. There are two color options for handrails.
HT30 SL4 - brushed finishing HT30 BP4 - black powder coated finishing

02-3 Wire ropes
Both of the following cables could work for this system
WR01
T304 stainless steel wire rope 1/8"
WR02
T316 stainless steel wire rope 1/8"
Notes
We have two ways of packing. Wire rope in reel would be easier to control after you open it while wire rope in roll is cheaper.
The cable in roll is recommended to open in a bucket, which could help to control the cable as it expands.
1/8" are recommended for code compliance in most states. We also have wire ropes with 5/32" or 3/16" size, vinyl-coated cables, blacken cables for
your choice. Please search "muzata WP1" on Amazon to find more. And remember that you should use terminals of the same size to go with wire ropes. For example, 1/8" cable should go with 1/8" terminals.
02-4 Cable terminals
Cable terminals will fix the cable on posts and fasten the cable to get enough tension as safeguards. Invisible terminals are recommended to get a neat look at the railing. Please check the following images to see where and how they are used for.
Tensioner
CB05 - Patent swageless invisible tensioner for
metal posts. Other options: CB07 CR38 CR40
Inner terminal
CB17 - Patent swageless invisible terminals for
corner posts and one-side drilled end posts
Other options: CR07
Angle washer
CR60 - Angle washers for stair railing around 30°

Installation
Things to Know Before You Get Started
Please consult your local office for building codes and make sure you know all the requirements of the codes. Some states might have special rules of their own. You should choose carefully to comply with them. We can't promise everything to comply with all the codes of every state.
It is recommended to do some planning work and estimate a budget. Please contact us if you need help with that. You might want to buy a few more materials than expected since some materials could be used by operation mistakes. Especially swage terminals and wire ropes.
It is suggested to be 2 person project. When electric instruments Electric drill, Cutting Machine are used in the installation
process, Please be careful. Please note that products made of T304 stainless steel can't work for projects within 10
miles of sea. They will also get rusty easier than expected when being near salt water or in highly humid conditions.
04-1 Posts installation
04-1-1 General steps
Draw guidelines
1. Draw guidelines along the paths you want. The lines will keep your posts aligned. 2. Mark positions for posts, check the following notes for post distance.
Drill guide holes
Install lag screws
Mark the hole positions.
Install lag screws with a

screw length.
Level check
Check with a level tool. Adjust the lag screws to make sure the post is vertical to the ground.
04-1-2 Corner solution
There are two options for corner posts. Please check section 04-3-2 for more details.
Notes
Remember to install all the structural posts first before installing intermediate posts. Make sure your posts are aligned if they are in the same line. The guide holes will make it easier for lag screws to go in. For concrete/brick/stone surface, please replace the lag screws with expansion bolts . We recommend the max span of two structural posts to be 4 feet. If there is a stabilizer
post between them, the max span can be up to 7 feet. There is a 4-inch sphere test for cable railing in some states. So there should be
intermediate posts between structural posts to reduce the deflection. 3-4 feet post space is recommended. If you are going to drill holes by yourself, please make sure to comply with the codes.3" space between cable lines is recommended for most states.
04-2 Handrails installation
04-2-1 General steps

Notes
You can make a connector for random angles with a straight connector if pivot connectors are not available.
Please try your best to place a post under each joint to make sure all the joints are supported. If it is not possilbe in some cases, at least there should be posts nearby to support them.
04-3 Cable infilling installation
04-3-1 General steps
Install the cable
Install the cable end into CB17, Screw the jack bolts tight enough to fix the cable. Make sure the cable won't slip out while tightening. Remember to put the adhesive sleeve in before that.
Install fix end terminal
Put CB17 into the post then release it. It will get stuck inside the post and make the cable can not be pulled out.
Measure the cable
Draw the cable to the other end and let it go through the post hole. Pull the cable tightly and mark point A.
Trim and cut
Subtract the trim length (about 1 1/4 inch) and mark point B. Cut on point B to get the correct length. The trim length is based on general conditions. Sometimes you might need to adjust it according to your project.
Install tensioner
Place the other cable end into the tensioner. Then install the tensioner to the post. Remember to put the adhesive sleeve in before that.
Tensioning
Tighten the cable to proper tension with CT16 and an Allen wrench.
Cover the holes
Cover the holes with adhesive sleeves

Two posts
Use wheel protector sleeves CR72 to bear force and let the cable go through two posts and the corner.
The cable end on one post and start with another one, you will need two terminals.
Notes
1. Please follow the sequence to tighten the cables as shown in the left image.
2. For swage tensioners, please preserve some tensioning range in case the cable gets loose due to temperature change in years.
3. Remember to expand the tensioner before measuring to make sure there are rooms for the tensioner to shrink while tightening.
4. Swageless terminals are reusable,you can always redo the process if you did not do it right at first.
5. When using wheel protector sleeves to bear force and let the cable go through the corner. Remember that the cable should not go through corners less than 90°. And it is not recommended to let the cable go through more than one corner continuously since it will be difficult to tighten the cable.
6. Install infilling on stairs is pretty much the same as level sections. Only you have to add an angle washer for each terminal that is not multi-angle.
7. If your local building code requires 4" sphere test, The tension is recommended to be around 200 lbs to pass the test. You can buy a tension gauge online or local store.
