The overview states no fittings are required. What does this mean? Because I would still have to purchase the tension and threaded ends, correct? I searched your website for a rod crimper tool but could only find a crimper for cable railing. Do u sell a rod crimper? If not, could you recommend a tool? Thank you
Hi Julie,
That is correct, our rod railing system is designed to work with the fasteners you’ll find in the Rod Railing Accessories page. While our rod system uses the same crimping tool as our cable system, we utilize non-standard crimping dies in conjunction with the 1/4″ rod system. If you specify in your online order notes that you require special dies for your railing system and crimping tool we would be happy to include the dies for you.

How often do you have to have a post for the rod railing?
Also, can you incorporate your existing wood newel posts with this railing?
can you get the rods powder coated in black?
Hi Suzy,
We do offer the rods powder coated black in our Onyx Rod line.

Hello, are your rods hollow and will they conform to (4″ sphere) IBC 50lb load @ 4′ posts spacing? thanks
Hi Paul,
That is correct – our rods are hollow. With proper installation, our rod system will meet both the 4″ sphere rule & exceed your load requirements to meet code. If you have additional questions, please give us a call at 1 (866) 226-6536.

How many are in 1 pack? Or does that mean 1? and 10 pack means 10? Thanks,
Hi Tracy,
A 10-pack of our rods includes 10 rods cut to the specified length. For example, a 10-pack of 8ft rods would mean you receive a quantity of 10 rods precision cut at 8ft. If you have additional questions, please give our team a call at 1 (866) 226-6536.

Is it possible to use the rods without the tensioning equipment? If they are cut and installed to the exact length of the run, why would tensioning be needed? I’ve never used this system and don’t quite understand the need to tension. I do understand why it’s needed for cable.
Thanks for the question Ross,
Using rods without tension would not be recommended. Without tension the rods could just slip out of the posts and there’s nothing to prevent them from bending.
If you give one of our specialists a call at (866) 226 6536 they could probably explain the system more thoroughly.

is there a way to attach the rods to existing wood posts. I have structural support beams on my stairs and would like to terminate the rods into them, similar to how the cable railing can surface attach to wood posts. Is there a way to do this
Thanks for the question Kristian,
We will be releasing a kit designed specifically for this purpose very soon. Check back on our website in 2-3 weeks and we should have it available. Or you can always give us a call at (866) 226 6536 and talk to one of our specialists.

Is this kit available yet?
Thanks for the question James,
The Rodtite system was developed to allow customers to tension rods into wood posts and beams as discussed. It can either be combined with a tension receiver kit, or if you are careful it can be installed as Rodtite to Rodtite.
