E. Install Swageless Terminal
1.
Slip the appropriate washer over the body of the Pull-Lock
®
fitting
(Delrin
®
for metal post, stainless steel for wood post).
2.
Rotate the Pull-Lock
®
fitting clockwise
as you push it onto the cable. If the cable
begins to “unravel,” you are rotating the
fitting in the wrong direction.
Note: If you have trouble inserting the cable into the fitting, it may be because the locking wedges have become stuck. This is not a
defect! Here’s what you can do to “free the wedges” — For Pull-Lock
®
or Push-Lock
®
fittings for 1/8” cable, using either a PL-KEY or
1/4” diameter bolt, insert the PL-KEY or bolt into the hole and press until the wedges move freely. Perform the same operation for
a 3/16” Pull-Lock
®
or Push-Lock
®
, except use a 16d nail or another tool with 1/8” or smaller diameter. Anything larger than what is
recommended can actually get stuck inside the fitting – NOT what you want!
C. Feed Cable through Intermediate Posts
1.
Feed the bare end of the cable through all intermediate posts/cable braces and through the end post where
you will be installing the Pull-Lock
®
fitting.
D. Feed/Crimp Cable through Corner Posts
Instructions for going through corners for both wood and metal posts are available at our website. Scan
the QR Code at right with your smart phone, or call us at 800-851-2961 and ask for Cable Railing Technical
Support and we’ll email it to you.
B. Install Tensioning Terminal
1.
Install the Threaded Stud end first. Feed the cable and stud through the end post. If using metal posts, start by inserting the
plastic stud bushing into the pre-drilled hole in the post. Slide the stainless steel washer (smaller for metal post, larger for wood
post) onto the Threaded Stud and start the brass locknut onto the threads as far as possible by hand.
