Angle Tension Kit – VR294

They are designed to work between 37.5 degrees to 42.5 degrees. If your staircase falls outside of that range we can provide you with angle washers to accommodate other angles. Just let us know in the notes of your order and we’ll substitute the correct items for no additional charge.

Hi Marlene.

One angle tension kit comes with 1 Tension Receiver, 1 Angle Washer, 1 Threaded Crimp Fitting, and 1 Adhesive Sleeve. You can check out our cable product page for information on pricing for our 100 & 400 foot spools. Please let us know if you have any additional questions!

Hi Buford,

The maximum run length that we recommend is 80′. For installation instructions for the level and angle tension kits, you can refer to page 8 of the Installation Guide. Please let us know if there’s anything else we can help you with!

Robin,

We can’t recommend using 1 1/2″ posts because of concerns about their structural integrity. Further, you will likely have components that are sticking out of your posts, which means that you will not be able to use the insert or adhesive sleeves to hide the tension components.

As far as drilling holes, you will be able to get by with 1/2″ holes drilled straight. For our angle posts, we drill a special size that is actually a 3/8″ hole and a 5/16″ holes that are slightly overlapping, but that is mainly so that the adhesive sleeve works correctly. Since you likely won’t be using the adhesive sleeves, you should be good with just 1/2″ holes.

Also, I’d recommend buying just the components rather than a whole kit since you won’t be utilizing the sleeves. You can find the tension receiver and threaded crimp fitting here and the angle washer here.

Let us know if we can offer you any more assistance.
