1/4" Threaded Rod & Swage Stud For 3/16" Wire Rope - Stainless Cable Tensioner
This stainless cable tensioner of ours is a solid option for indoor and outdoor applications. It’s made with T316 steel so you won’t have to worry about rusting, even in really humid areas. On outdoor systems, it’s common to see build-up over time but it is easily removed with a simple steel cleaner like CitriSurf 77. Previous customers have used this turnbuckle on commercial and residential projects.
Swage cable end fittings such as these will require a hand swaging tool during the installation process. After you slide cable as far as it’ll go into the swage stud, it is then recommended to swage the fitting three times for a solid hold. You’re also going to need a Cable Cutter Tool – Normally you will receive cable for your project in one overall length, from there you measure and cut your runs as you go along. These actions can’t be undone so it’s always wise to double check your work before doing either.
You will need to use 3/16″ cable with this stainless cable tensioner. We point customers towards the 1×19 construction because we believe it’s the best looking option for cable railing systems. It also isn’t rough to the touch like other configurations can be.
