CABLE: 
In your kit you have enough marine grade 316 
stainless steel cable to complete your project with 
approximately 10% extra. CityPost wants to make 
sure that if you decide to make a last-minute change 
to your layout or for some reason you made a 
mistake you have plenty of materials to complete 
your project without any delays. 
CABLE END-FITTINGS: 
(22) For every run of 36” railing
(26) For every run of 42” railing
There are (11) cables holes in a 36” post and (13) 
holes in a 42” post so we make sure that you have 
plenty of materials to start and stop your railing at the 
beginning and end of every run. All cable end-fittings 
are manufactured out of marine
grade 316 stainless steel. EXAMPLE: if your project 
has (5) individual runs of railing you will have 
received (5) bags of fittings for a total of 110.
BEVELED WASHERS 
(stairs only): 
Beveled washers are used to hold the cable end-
fittings at the proper angle to ensure your cable 
maintains the desired straight line going down the 
stairs. These beveled washers are shipped in bags of 
(22) for 36” stair railing runs and bags of (26) for 42” 
stair railing runs. Just like the cable end-fittings, the 
beveled washers are manufactured out of marine-
grade 316 stainless steel.
TOOLS: 
If purchased, your kit we will include a stainless-steel 
cable cutter & a hand crimping tool that will allow you 
to secure the stainless-steel end-fittings onto the 
stainless-steel cable. NOTE: All orders purcha
sed 
directly from CityPost have tools included for free. 
Kits ordered through online retailers do not include 
tools. 
TOP RAIL: 
If you received top rail from CityPost you will have received (4) 1” #12 self-tapping sheet metal screws per post 
for installation (the top rail bracket has 4 points of connection). Each of your CityPost transition sleeves which 
are used to hide miter cuts and strengthen the corners were shipped with (4) ½” #8 self-tapping sheet metal 
screws for installation.
