Atlantis Rail Systems C0988-1000 Cable Railing Install Template

Product Description

The ATLANTIS RAIL SYSTEMS C0988-1000 is a drilling template designed to simplify installation of RailEasy cable railing systems. The template establishes cable run spacing at 3 inches on-center and supports both 36-inch and 42-inch height railing configurations. It includes two distinct hole patterns: one for mounting tensioners on end and corner posts, and one for drilling through-holes in mid posts. Installers use this template to maintain consistent spacing and alignment across an entire railing run, reducing layout time and minimizing the risk of misaligned holes during the drilling phase.

This template is suited for deck and stair railing installations where RailEasy cable hardware is specified. It applies to both residential and light commercial projects. The dual-height capability makes it useful on projects where code requires either a 36-inch or 42-inch guardrail height. Contractors working on wood or composite post systems will find the template particularly useful for maintaining code-compliant cable spacing without manual layout at every post location.

Key Features

• Cable spacing set at 3 inches on-center to meet typical code requirements

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, deck contractor, or general contractor. Secure the template firmly against the post face before drilling to prevent movement and ensure hole alignment. Use the correct drill bit diameter specified by the RailEasy hardware being installed. Follow all applicable local building codes for guardrail height and cable spacing requirements.
