Don't waste your money. As I said above, good luck finding a hub that will work with vertical dropouts. Vertical dropouts are great for derailer bikes, and close to useless for most anything else.

On a more nit-picky note, chain tensioners are not intended for and should not be used on a fixed-gear bike, as they will self-destruct as soon you try to slow down by resisting the pedal motion.
