Stainless Steel Protector Sleeve

If you're planning to install cable railing on your deck, porch, or balcony, you should use high-quality hardware. These cable railing kits are made of stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and bending. These cables come with a complete kit that includes the turnbuckles, cable, tensioners, and connectors needed for the job.

Rescue Stud

This cable railing kit is an easy way to install an invisible end for your DIY cable railing project. Designed to fit a 3/16" wire rope cable, it can be used on any type of post and is suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. Marine Grade T316 Stainless Steel is used for this product. It resists corrosion and rust. Simply rotate the receiver and tighten the cable by using a hex socket.

Invisible Turnbuckle

HandiSwage(tm) studs are the best choice when you want to install cable railing with an invisible installation. They have a three-quarter inch threaded stud and are compatible with 20 pairs of cable railing posts. This type of stud is suitable for stairposts, angle sections and timber posts. Its unique design enables it to be used with any type of cable railing system.

Locking Toggle

If you're looking to install cable railings on stairs, consider using a swage turnbuckle. It is a cost-effective method that works with a termination stud system. Designed with 316 grade stainless steel, it is durable and easy to install. The stud end fittings come in a 20-pair package. They are guaranteed for one month.

Installation of flush fitting cable railing kit

When installing a flush fitting cable railing kit, you will want to choose the right hardware. There are two main types of hardware, flush fitting and swaggleless, and they all have their advantages and disadvantages. A flush fitting cable railing kit requires less field labor and is a good choice if you plan to install a small amount of railing. If you plan to install a larger amount of cable railing, you can purchase a kit with pre-swagged hardware and leave the final assembly to a professional.

Installation of HandiSwage(tm) stud

The HandiSwage(tm) System is composed of cable, stud, and various fittings. One of its key advantages is hidden tensioning. Because the post covers the threads, the stud and cable are hidden. It is recommended to leave 1-5/8" of threaded space on the stud and cable after installing it.
