Transform your deck with a clean, "floating" cable appearance. This hardware hides entirely inside your wood or metal posts.

Important Note: This is a "Receiver Only" kit (Tensioning End). You will need to pair this with a Swage Stud (Fixed End) for the other side of your cable run.


Achieve the Ultimate Minimalist Look

Upgrade your staircase or deck with the RiaYer Invisible T316 Stainless Steel Tension Receiver. Unlike traditional bulky turnbuckles that clutter your view, this hardware is engineered to be concealed inside the post. Made from premium marine-grade steel, it provides robust tensioning power for 1/8" cable systems while offering superior resistance to rust.

Key Features

  • 🙈 Fully Invisible Design: The tensioner mounts inside the post, leaving only a sleek, flat flush head visible on the exterior. Perfect for modern architectural styles.
  • 🌊 Marine Grade Durability: Made of solid T316 Stainless Steel, ensuring long-term performance and zero rust in saltwater and harsh outdoor climates.
  • 🏡 Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly with both Metal posts (typically 2"x2") and Wood posts (typically 4"x4").
  • ⚙️ Adjustable Tension: The internal threaded mechanism allows for easy tightening of the cable to prevent sagging over time, using a simple hex wrench.

  2. Thread: Run the cable through your intermediate posts to the end post where this receiver will go.
  3. Tension: Cut the cable to the precise length, swage it tightly into this Receiver, insert it into the post, and rotate the receiver with a hex key to draw the wire taut.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is this sold as a "Receiver Only" kit?

A: We sell the Receiver (Tensioner) and the Swage Stud (Fixed End) separately to give you absolute flexibility. Some projects require tensioners on both ends (for very long runs or corners), while short straight runs only need one. This prevents you from paying for hardware you don't need.

Q: Do I need special tools?

A: Yes. Since this is an invisible "swage" system, you will need a Hydraulic Cable Crimper to secure the wire permanently inside the tube. You will also need a cable cutter and a hex wrench.

Q: Is this compatible with angled stairs?

A: Yes, but because the head sits flush, you will need to add our Angle Beveled Washers (sold separately) between the post and the receiver to ensure the cable sits at the correct staircase angle without bending the hardware.
