This wrench is designed to help in the installation of our DriveTite cable railing and RodTite rod railing.
The Wood Level Tension Kit contains everything you need to tension one end of a run of cable.*
1 – Tension Receiver
1 – Threaded Crimp Fitting
1 – Wood Insert Sleeve
1 – Stainless Steel Washer
These components are crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel for lasting beauty and strength. We recommend putting a cable every 3 1/8", we've found that this spacing (when combined with an intermediate post placed every 4 feet), allows for minimal cable deflection, so that you stay within the common 4" sphere rule for code. If your overall system height is 36″ tall, typically a 10 pack for each post is required (depending on your handrail setup, it might be less). For 39″ systems purchase a 11 pack, and for 42″ systems purchase a 12 pack.
*You will need to purchase a kit for the other end of your cable, either another Wood Level Tension Kit, a Wood Angle Tension Kit (for starting or ending on a staircase), or a DriveTite Kit. We highly recommend using our Cable Rail Installation Tool Kit to install this product.
