Atlantis Rail sells Installation Tools (C0988-0000), a Drilling Template (C0988-1000) and a Cable Cutter (C0989-00HD) for your convenience.

  • 3/8″ Stainless Steel Wrench for holding the threaded stud

  • 5/16″ Stainless Steel Wrench for tensioning body

You may choose to use tools you already own or purchase the above individually as needed.

We recommend that all wrenches used be stainless steel to avoid depositing iron on parts, which may cause rust spotting.
