This versatile black wire balustrade kit can be used on flat or angled (stair) runs and between timber or metal posts. Very handy for pre-existing metal posts. Great for DIY first timers. Suits 3.2mm wire and requires hydraulic swaging. Not suitable for use in beachfront properties or areas subjected to salt spray.
Black Stainless
Straight & Angled Sections
This black wire balustrade system is very popular for flat or angled (stair) runs and where you need to run wire between metal posts (usually pre-existing), timber posts or a combination of the two. The saddles provide a pivot point for the jaw/swage bottlescrew and fork terminal end fittings. So even if your saddles aren't fixed perfectly straight heaven forbid! , the run will adjust and level out and each run will be visually consistent.
We often find DIYers are taking on wire balustrade installation for the first time - and this is a simple to install, flexible system applicable for a wire range of situations. Whether you have a deck your encircling with wire balustrade, staircases to cover or both, you can use this kit. The kit comes standard with stainless self tapping screws. However you can choose all stainless rivets instead for your metal posts.
It is suitable for 3.2mm wire including 7x7, 1x19 and 7x19 constructions. Because 1x19 wire rope has a higher tensile strength and is less flexible than 7x7 and 7x19, it is very commonly used with stainless swage fittings such as with this kit. 1x19 is smoother and more aesthetically pleasing than 7x7 or 7x19. It also has a higher tensile strength, with the least stretch. If not immediately, this becomes a consideration over time as the wire stretches under tension or other factors such as expansion and contraction of your timber posts.
All in blackened stainless steel , these fittings require hydraulic swaging/crimping with an entry level 5T light duty hydraulic swaging tool (see notes below on the use of tools and hardened dies) or via a 30T Hydraulic Swaging Press.
Factory Hydraulic Swaging is recommended for this kit - please enquire for availability and pricing.
Also recommended is the bottlescrew spanner to simply and easily adjust the tensioners.
Please note the use of hardened dies, heavy duty hydraulic swaging tools (including the 8T and 12T hydraulic tools) and other swaging procedures are not recommended as it will impact the finish of the final product and are not covered under standard product warranty.
DO NOT USE in saline/salt prone environments especially areas subjected to salt spray from the coast. Any use within this environment will corrode the finish which cannot be rectified and will void any warranty. If your project is subject to this kind of environment, please contact us for clarification and alternative options.
Avoid using harsh cleaners, chemicals and abrasives on and around the BlackLine wire and fittings. The blackened surface of the stainless steel may be stripped off, discoloured or degraded.
AVOID acid based cleaners such as oxalic acid (deck cleaner), vinegar or InnoShine B570 / InnoGel B450.
USE a mild, pH neutral cleaner, such as orange citrus or mild detergent with a non-abrasive cloth.
