w repeat steps 1 - 3 under the “INSTALLING END-FITTINGS” section to complete that run of cable.
REPEAT THIS PROCESS FOR ALL CABLES. NOTE: Do not start tensioning cables until ALL cables for an entire
run of railing have been installed on both ends.
TENSIONING CABLE:
Using a pair of vice-grip pliers and a 10mm wrench hold the end fitting with the pliers while turning the tensioning
nut with the wrench until there is no visible sag in the cable. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. IT PUTS UNNECESSARY
STRAIN ON THE END POSTS AND TOP RAIL.
The order of tightening cables should go in an alternating fashion working from the center outward:
- For 36” Posts: 6/5/7/4/8/3/9/2/10/1/11
- For 42” Posts: 7/6/8/5/9/4/10/3/11/2/12/1/13
- You may have to follow this pattern once or twice to achieve the desired level of tension. Once you
have achieved the desired level of tension place a small drop of thread-locker on the exposed threads
of the end-fitting and fasten on the acorn nut.
FOLLOW THIS PROCESS FOR EACH OF
YOUR RUNS OF RAILING
CONGRATULATIONS YOU’RE DONE!
