Angle Kit to Angle Kit

Express tension kit installation for angle runs of cable railing

• Take the loose end of your cable spool and slide the cable through the posts on the run you are working on
• It is typically easiest to run the cable up through the bottom post towards the top post

It is a good idea to put the spool of cable into a 5-gallon bucket to help prevent rapid unspooling of the cable

• If needed, adjust the die setting on the head of the crimping tool so that it shows a “1” and an “8” on both sides as shown above
• Once the cable passes through the final post on the run, crimp a Threaded Crimp Fitting onto the end of the cable
• Crimp the Threaded Crimp Fitting, then rotate it 90° and crimp again

• Slide a Angle Washer over the Threaded Crimp Fitting
• Thread a Tension Receiver onto the Threaded Crimp fitting four full turns

• Pull the cable back against the post so the Tension Receiver is pulled into the Angle Washer
• Ensure the Angle washer rests flush against the side of the post

• Return to the other end of the run where the Angle Tension Kit will be installed nearest the spool, and pull the cable tight for the full run
• Place painter’s tape on the cable where the cable meets the inside edge of the post

• Use the side cutting tool located below the main crimping head to cut your cable
• Slide the cable through the cable cutter and cut the cable 3" - 4" extra past the outside edge of the post

• Remove the cable from the post
• Add and mark 1½" past the painter’s tape
• Cut the cable on this mark

• If needed, adjust the die setting on the head of the crimping tool so that it shows a “1” and an “8” on both sides as shown above
• Crimp a Threaded Crimp fitting onto the second end of the cable
• Crimp the Threaded Crimp Fitting, then rotate it 90° and crimp again

• Insert the Threaded Crimp Fitting into the hole on the inside face of the post
• Then, insert the Tension Receiver through the Angle Washer and then into the hole on the outside face of the post
• Meet both in the middle of the post and thread the Tension Receiver onto the Crimp Fitting four full turns

• Insert the Threaded Crimp Fitting into the hole on the inside face of the post
• Then, insert the Tension Receiver through the Angle Washer and then into the hole on the outside face of the post
• Meet both in the middle of the post and thread the Tension Receiver onto the Crimp Fitting four full turns

• After all the cable runs are done use the Allen wrench to tighten the remaining side of the cable run in sequence
• Holding the cable with the pliers & neoprene sleeve, tighten until the cable is taut and then turn the Tension Receiver another half turn

*Before tensioning any cable infill, please ensure all posts and handrail are fully installed.
