REVIEWED BLD-BLD2021-0859+Calculations+6.18.2021_3.31.09_PM+2259127Code Compliance & Warranty
Code Compliance for 4" Sphere
Meeting the 4" sphere rule means that cables should be spaced on the
standard spacing provided in the Viewrail posts. The standard spacing
is 3 %" on center, which allows a reasonable amount of deflection of
the cable when the posts are spaced no more than 4' apart. When
laying out a deck or balcony it is tempting to space posts farther than
4' apart, however the deflection of the cable increases dramatically and
it cannot be overcome with increased tension. To conform to the 4"
sphere rule, do not place posts more than 4' apart and do not space
cables more than 3'/8" apart. Often posts are placed adjacent to each
other for a dual corner. When placing two posts in a corner, be sure to
place them no more than 4" from each other.
— Be sure to check with your local code official about your railing
installation before placing your order. Codes are frequently interpreted
differently by local code inspectors.
