The ultimate protection for your posts. Prevents wire rope from damaging wood or metal posts while maintaining tension. Finished in premium Black Titanium PVD. (Includes 2 Drill Bits).

Overview

Extend the life of your railing system with RiaYer Black Protector Sleeves. Without protection, steel cables can cut into wood or wear down metal posts over time, causing loose cables and structural damage. These sleeves act as a durable shield, ensuring your system stays tight and safe.

Featuring a Black Titanium PVD Finish, these sleeves not only protect your posts but also provide a clean, "Hidden & Beautiful" look by covering rough drill holes. They are maintenance-free and crafted from marine-grade T316 stainless steel for superior weather resistance.

Why Choose These Black Sleeves?

• 🛡️ Protects Posts (Wood & Metal): Critical for preventing the cable from slicing into the post material under tension. They act as a smooth barrier, significantly extending the lifespan of your railing.
• 💎 Black Titanium PVD Finish: Unlike standard black paint which can chip, our Vacuum PVD Plating bonds the black color to the steel. It is highly resistant to scratches and friction from the cable.
• ✨ Hidden & Beautiful: The sleeve's flange sits flush against the post surface, neatly hiding unsightly drill holes for a seamless, professional finish.
• 🚀 Easier Cable Run: Installing cables becomes much smoother. The wire rope glides effortlessly through the stainless steel tube rather than dragging against rough wood grain.
• 🌊 T316 Marine Grade: Excellent anti-rust, anti-corrosion, and high tensile strength. Designed to last a lifetime outdoors without maintenance, even in coastal climates.
• 🛠️ 2 x Drill Bits Included: We provide two specialized drill bits in the package to ensure a perfect, snug fit for the sleeves. No need to buy extra tools.

FAQ

Q: Will the black color scratch off when pulling the cable?
A: Our sleeves use PVD technology, which is much harder than paint. While extreme friction can wear any material, PVD is the most durable black finish available for this application.

Q: Can I use this on metal posts?
A: Yes. As mentioned in the description, these are suitable for both wood and metal (steel) posts to prevent abrasion and corrosion.

Q: Why are these better than cheaper options?
A: Many cheap sleeves use T304 steel or regular black paint which rusts and peels quickly. We use T316 Marine Grade Steel with PVD coating for a maintenance-free lifetime solution.
