Wire Tension Kits - Installation: (For Rope Over 10m We Recommend Opening Each End of The Way: 40-45mm)

Our balustrade wire rope kits have been designed with the installer in mind to allow simple installation with hand tools achieving a high quality, taut cable run and aesthetic appearance. The kits are suitable for steel or timber posts, using lag screw eyebolts for timber. Installation involves attaching eyebolts to each end, threading the rope through any intermediate posts, attaching a self-assembly fork to each end, and adjusting the turnbuckle until the rope is taut.

 Slide the jaw housing onto the cable.  Slide the jaws onto the cable leaving equal space between the jaw sections.  Place the pressure ring on the cable end. The distance from the pressure ring to the cable end must be 5mm.  Slide the jaw housing in place so that it covers the jaws.  Assemble the terminal: Screw the head firmly in place on the jaw housing with a spanner. Then, tighten the lock nut firmly with a spanner.  Jaws should not be reused.
