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 swage less invisible
tensioner for metal posts.
Other options: CB07
CR38
CR40
Inner terminal

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
- Draw guidelines along the paths you want. The lines will keep your posts aligned.
- Mark positions for posts, check the following notes for post distance.
Drill guide holes
• Mark the hole positions.
• Drill guide hole with a 1/4 drill bit for the depth of screw length.|
Install lag screws
• Install lag screws with a 13mm wrench or an adjustable wrench.| 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
Cut the handrail
Measure and cut the handrails for the length you need with an electric miter
saw.
Install
Install the handrails to the bracket of posts.
End cap
Place an end cap at the end of the handrail.
04-2-2 Linear connection
Connect
Connect two handrails with a straight connector| Install
Install the joint on a post for supporting
04-2-3 90° Corner
Option 1：Miter cutting
Cut the handrail into 45°end| Connect the two handrails with a corner connector| Install them on posts with screws
Option 2：Cover kit
Place the corner bracket first then connect the handrails with the corner connector| Install them on posts with the screws attached| Place the cover. The cover will also help to cover the ugly miter cutting.
04-2-4 Random angle on vertical plane
① Cut the handrail end into the angle you want| ② Put the pivot connector HA23
in
③ Fix the connector and handrails with screws| ④ Install them on posts
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 possible 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
04-3-2 Corner solution
Single post
Option 1
A neighbor-hole post to go with 2 inner terminals.| Option 2
A 3-level-hole post to go with 1 inner terminal and 1 tensioner.| Option
3
A neighbosr-crhoelewpsost to go with 2 wheel protector
sleeves to bear force and let the cable go through the
corner.
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
- Please follow the sequence to tighten the cables as shown in the left image.
- For swage tensioners, please preserve some tensioning range in case the cable gets loose due to temperature change in years.
- Remember to expand the tensioner before measuring to make sure there are rooms for the tensioner to shrink while tightening.
- Swage less terminals are reusable, you can always redo the process if you did not do it right at first.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
