VistaView CableTec Stainless Steel Hand-Crimp Threaded Tensioners for 1/8" Cable Railing (3-3/4” Long, for Wood Or Metal Posts) - Lot of 10

Properly tensioning a do-it-yourself cable railing is the most important part of installing your own cable system. Use the VistaView Stainless Steel Hand-Crimp Threaded Terminals to be sure your railing is functional, as well as safe and secure.

After hand-crimping the threaded terminal onto the end of your cable strand, slide the fitting through the end post hole and attach the washer and hex nut. Tighten the hex nut, which pulls the threaded terminal through the post, tightening the cable. In a 4x4 post, the terminal will be hidden entirely within the end post, leaving a very clean look of just the cable coming out of the post. After tensioning to satisfaction, cut or grind off the excess threads outside of the hex nut, leaving enough threads to attach the cap nut. Turn on the cap nut tightly and lock the hex nut into place.

These Threaded Terminals require a special hand-crimper tool. Make sure to use the VistaView CableTec Hand Crimper Tool for 1/8" fittings or a comparable marine style crimper tool. Standard crimper tools typically will not put a sufficient crimp on these steel fittings, which could result in cable loosening and slipping out.

TERMINAL SPECIFICS:

Overall Length of Terminal = 3-3/4"

Thread Length = 1-7/8"

Thread Diameter and Pitch = 1/4"-20
