The innovative Axis Pivot Tensioner assembly includes these cable railing hardware components:

• Trim Head Screw: Secures the assembly to the post.
• HAAS Axis Pivot Receiver: Allows the cable to pivot up to 90 degrees, ideal for stair runs or ramps.
• Pivot Receiver Pin: Holds the Pivot Eye securely in place within the receiver.
• HAAS Axis Pivot Eye: Connects the Swage Stud to the Pivot Receiver.
• HAAS Axis Swage Stud: Secures the cable to the system for a sturdy installation.

1. Stair Run Cable Rail End Fitting: Secures the end of the cable at the top or bottom of a stair run, ensuring tension and stability in the railing system.
2. Angled Wood Post Protector: Prevents wear and tear on wood posts where cables run at an angle, reducing friction and prolonging post life.
3. Transition Wood Post Protector: Protects wood posts at transition points where cables change direction, maintaining cable alignment and post integrity.
4. Straight Wood Post Protector: Used to prevent wear on wood posts where cables run straight, ensuring long-lasting durability.
5. Straight Run Cable Rail Tension Fitting : Maintains proper tension on the cable for straight runs, providing a secure and sleek finish for stair railing installations.

The AXIS System mounting screw is a 3-inch long, made from marine-grade type 316 stainless steel, ensuring secure and corrosion-resistant installation into wood posts. This durable screw provides lasting stability, even in harsh environments like coastal or salt-air settings.

No, standard straight-run components cannot be used on stair runs. Stair runs require specific fittings that allow the cables to be installed at an angle, ensuring proper tension and a secure fit. Using straight-run components on angled or stair runs can result in improper installation, compromising the strength and safety of the railing.

When installing a stair or angled cable railing system, regular re-tensioning of the cables is critical for maintaining stability, especially in wood post systems. Pressure-treated wood can naturally expand and contract over time due to weather conditions and sunlight exposure, which can affect cable tension. To prolong the life of your system, invest in high-quality wood posts and apply an outdoor stain or sealer to protect against the elements. Proper maintenance ensures your angled or stair cable railing remains safe and secure over time.
