Swageless fittings simplify your wire balustrade installation massively. Very popular, neat and versatile DIY kit for 3.2mm wire rope. Perfect for both flat sections or stair/angled sections between timber posts. The fittings pivot on the lag eye screws, which help the wire to autocorrect into a level position (flat sections) or exactly to the angle required (stairs).
No swaging required with this wire balustade system. Hallelujah.
Incredibly DIY friendly, this swageless version of the super popular Wire Balustrade Kit #1 is perfect for fixing wire rope runs between timber end posts. This streamlined wire balustrade kit features a Rapid Lock Jaw/Swageless Bottlescrew M5 x 3.2mm, a Rapid Lock Swageless Fork Terminal M5 x 3.2mm and 2qty M6 x 60mm Lag Eye Screws (or M6 x 40mm, your choice).
Apart from its inherent neat and sleek appearance, the two major benefits with this massively popular system are ease of installation and versatility. We would argue is it one of the easiest wire balustrade kits to install. The pivot point provided by the lag eye screws for the bottlescrew gives you the flexibility for use on flat sections of wire rope runs as well as for angled (stair) sections. Even if you don't drive the lag eye screws in perfectly straight, the bottlescrew and fork terminal will pivot and adjust to give you a straight run. In comparison some other systems require you to install the fittings completely straight and square or risk wire runs with unsightly angles.
Suitable for 3.2mm wire including 7x7, 1x19 and 7x19 constructions. Because 1x19 wire rope has a higher tensile strength, has the least amount of stretch and is less flexible than 7x7 and 7x19, it is very commonly used with stainless swage fittings such as with this kit. 1x19 wire is also more aesthetically pleasing than 7x7 or 7x19, it's smoother due to its helical (spiral) construction and as such can physically accommodate more wire in the 3.2mm than other constructions.
Please note: wire is not included in this kit and can be purchased separately here.
It's recommended to use a purpose built lag eye screw driver bit to easily drive the lag eye screws into your timber posts (pre-drilling recommended).
Also recommended is the bottlescrew spanner to simply and easily adjust the bottlescrew tensioners.
In addition to this wire balustrade kit, it's essential to purchase the 'unlocking key'. If you need to pull the wire out and re-cut it, you can unlock the wire from the Rapid Lock terminal using the separately purchased Rapid Lock Key available here. After you've inserted the wire into the rapid lock terminal, you can remove it by gently inserting the key. You might need to do this if you need to re-cut the wire to a shorter length.
