Installing Level Cable Railing Posts
Using your provided project layout identify the run you want to do first
Measure and snap a chalk line to mark the run
• Using the layout provided and a tape measure, mark the center of where you want to mount each post
Take the post and center it on your chalk line
If the foot plate has marks, these can be used to orient the post properly
Mark the hole placements
At least four holes must be populated, with at least one hole on each side
Set the post aside
Note: It is possible with our textured powder coats, that the mark lines on the Aluminum post feet may be hard to see.
Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill a pilot hole for each marked location
Pilot holes must be 3" deep when using 3 1/2" mounting screws or 2" when using 2 1/2" mounting screws
Slide the Foam Insert into each post
This ensures that the rods will not rattle & make noise
Note: Systems installed near the coast will be provided isolator components and will not need these foam inserts.
Using the T-30 Torx Bit, screw the post mounting screws down snug through the post foot
Use the post level to make sure the post is plumb
If the post isn’t level, back out mounting screws and use provided shims
Snap off any excess shim material
Slide the Post Foot Cover over the Foot
