Description

Where would you normally use this stainless steel wire cable fitting?
For hydraulically swaged cable balustrading either with timber or stainless posts.
For more information, please click here to download a PDF that shows where this part would be used for wire cabling.

What is it made out of?
316 Stainless Steel.

How do I fasten the cable to it?
The 3.2mm wire cable goes into the open end of the fitting. Use an hydraulic swager to secure the cable. Do NOT use a hand swager or pliers, as the pressure required to press the metal flat is far greater than can be applied by hand.
Rotate the centre of the fixing to tension the cable (a special spanner can be purchased from our shop to aid the process, but is not 100% necessary).

Can it be used for exterior application?
As it is 316 grade Stainless Steel it is more than suitable to be used inside or outside.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Without regular cleaning and maintenance discolouration of the surface of the stainless steel by corrosion (tea staining) can occur.

How to reduce the risk of tea staining

  • Absence of corrosives – especially salt, chlorine, cleaning acids etc.
  • Atmospheric Conditions – lower temperatures and low humidity are better.
  • Surface orientation – Open exposure to rain washing is better
  • Surface Finish – In general a smoother finish is better. where practical mirror polish finish may perform better than a brushed finish.
  • Chemical cleanliness or passivation of the surface improves corrosion resistance
  • Appropriate grade selection for conditions
  • Regular Maintenance to limit the accumulation of corrosives
