The Express Side Mount Angle Line Post is the mid-span support for fascia-mounted Express cable-rail stair runs.
Pre-slotted on two faces, it bolts directly to properly blocked fascia boards and keeps cables perfectly aligned along typical 30° – 40° stair pitches — no field drilling, bending, or tension hardware required. Install one line post every 4 ft. between two angle end posts to meet code and maintain a rigid, open-view railing. Ships fast from Goshen, Indiana, usually in 1 – 3 business days.
This product is backed by Viewrail’s 10-year structural / 5-10-year finish warranty (excluding coastal regions).
