Great question! When installing post protectors in outdoor environments, it's common for swelling and shrinking to occur which can cause a post protector to pop out. A little bit of wood glue is a great addition to prevent this.

Hey Ben! Thanks for reaching out. You can setup a cable railing consultation on our website here: bit.ly/4fjBa95 If you'd like a few recommendations for stainless steel posts prior to your appointment, we've enjoyed working with a few custom fabricators. Downtown Fabworks, LLC, and OS Fabrication. Looking forward to helping you plan out your system.

We typically don't recommend using the REVO System for sleeved posts. The AXIS System works better in cases like these. You can find a tons of AXIS How-To videos on our channel. If you need additional help planning your system, you can set up a consultation with us here: bit.ly/4fjBa95

Thanks for the question, Greg. Your top and bottom stair posts will be drilled level to the ground. Any intermediate posts on your stair run will be drill at the same angle as your handrail.

Hi Mark! We have a new video on installing HAAS REVO Cable Railing at a corner post coming soon so stay tuned for that.

Yes, we recommend offsetting one side by 3/16". We have a new video on installing HAAS REVO Cable Railing at a corner post coming soon so stay tuned for that.

Hi there! The hydraulic swager is out of stock at this time, but we keep this video published for customers who have already purchased this tool. If you haven't tried it yet, we recommend the Crenshaw Swager to swage our cable railing components since it's much more efficient than the previous hydraulic variety. Watch this video to learn how to swage with the the Crenshaw Swager - th-cam.com/video/VReqBW6ewaw/w-d-xo.html

The cable is attached by a method called 'swaging'. Simply put, you'll use a swager to crimp the components onto or over the end of the cable. You can watch more about this process here th-cam.com/video/VReqBW6ewaw/w-d-xo.html

Great question! Our friends at OS Fabrication out of Chattanooga, TN fabricated them for us.

Great question! Yes, the REVO Lag End Stop (and Tensioner) can be used to tension cable railing on an angle. Many of our customers install them perpendicular to the floor and use transition post protectors on the other side to allow the cable to safely bend to match the angel of the staircase. A secondary option would be to install the tensioning and end stop components at the same angle as your stair run, and use angle washers on either side so that the components have a flat surface to leverage against. Hope this answers your question!

At the moment, we do not carry AXIS Components for steel post constructions. Our REVO System is what you'll use for steel posts.

As you may notice, at starting at 5:23, we don't recommend a particular torque value since there are too many variables each customer's installation. So, the amount of tautness is up to you. When tensioning each cable run, use a finger or hand to push on that particular cable to test the resistance. Once you find the desired tension, repeat with all the cables, going back over them to make sure they're all equally tensioned.

There are a couple reasons this might have happened ranging from hole drilling practices to end post size. Feel free to give us a call, or set up a consultation on our website. e-rigging.com/pages/book-appointment

I just added another 1/2” to the cutoff mark for the swage stud and that seemed to work fine.

Hi Christian. This scenario of these short spans would require a combo of either 1) a lag end stop, and a through-post tensioner (end cap), or 2) a lag tensioner (turnbuckle) and low-profile stop. When our customers are presented with cases like these where minimalism is top-priority, the bulk will choose option 1 (endcap), but this all depends on the customer preference. There always needs to be a tensioner and end stop. The only ways to tension a cable railing span like this is in-line tensioning with a turnbuckle, or through-post swage stud tensioning with the threaded stud hidden by the end cap. Does that all make sense? Thanks for the comment!

A well-tensioned cable railing system that is comprised of cable spaced every 3 inches, with intermediate posts space every 4 feet will not allow a 4 inch sphere to pass through and will pass most inspections in the states. Your state/county might differ from national code so, if you are getting your project inspected, get in contact with the inspector and ask how far apart cables should be and how tensioned do they expect the system to be.

Every system is different and planning out how many cables and how far apart those cables should be the first priority. You will find out how many rows of cable you'll need by measuring the space between your top cap and the floor and dividing by 3 and subtracting 1. Many of our customer's deck balustrades measure 36 inches meaning that they'll have 11 rows of cable spaced every 3 inches.

@@HAASCableRailing Thank you for the clarification. We installed your system and it turned out beautifully. The owner is ecstatic!

@@UnGrumpy1 We're always happy to hear it! Would love to see how it turned out! Feel free to submit any photos you have of the project here - e-rigging.com/pages/send-us-your-photos

@@HAASCableRailing My company is Left Coast Construction, I will send pics tomorrow.

@@HAASCableRailing Having trouble with the pics, I cant seem to get a pic that shows the true beauty. I'm getting a new phone today, maybe that will help.

As long as they fit snugly with no gaps, the REVO System will work for your project! It should not deform the post sleeves. Thanks for the question!

For pine, you'll drill a 3/8" hole anywhere you're using 1/8" or 3/16" wood post protectors.

Hi there! We're using 1/8" components and cable for this project. The workflow is identical when using either size. Thanks for the comment!

Yes! The HAAS AXIS System is available in 1/8" and 3/16" size fittings.

Thanks for the questions! First, you will not need to break up your run if the 60ft run is consistent with no bend in it. 75ft is the max run length that we recommend. Second, we do not sell intermediate posts, but you shouldn't have trouble finding a local supplier depending on what you want your intermediate posts to be.

Great question! The best way is to make sure the cables are laying as perpendicular to the posts and spread your hands out, holding as much of the cable as possible. For longer runs, have a partner holding the other end of the cable turning it simultaneously. Hope this helps!

Thanks, John!

We do! It's the HAAS Stainless REVO Thru-Post Tensioner. It effectively hides the tensioning component inside the termination post, and can only be used if the backside of that post is accessible. You can watch this video to learn more th-cam.com/video/ZCdkItqVNK8/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for the question, Drew! At the time of this comment, we don't carry any bushings to insulate the cable from the posts. The best way to avoid galvanic corrosion on your cable railing system is to powder coat or paint the posts after drilling, making sure the rims of your holes are coated as well. That way, no matter what material your metal posts are made of, you'll largely avoid any corrosion issues.

The max distance that we recommend is 6'. If you need your project inspected at any point, you'll wanna check your local building code, but if you don't, you should be good to go!

Hi there! For our HAAS Cable Railing Marking Template, the holes measure 3 inches apart.

Good question! Once you get the hang of it, the Crenshaw Swager is miles faster and more efficient even though you're crimping a second time. We only recommend a hydraulic swager like this only if the Crenshaw Swager is unavailable/back ordered.
