Surface mounting sockets and compression (swageless) terminations

Each cable consists of

• 4mm 7x7 Stainless steel rope
• Two surface mounting sockets
• One compression (swageless) ball
• One threaded ball
• One swage adjuster with lock nut

The wire is supplied with the adjuster end swaged onto the wire. The ball terminal is supplied for assembly by the user. Tension is achieved by rotating the threaded ball in the swageless adjuster, tightening to suit, then locking with the lock nut.

The system can be mounted in 2 ways: clear hole sockets can be fixed directly to timber posts using a 3" countersunk wood screw (code B4-CL-04), or clear hole sockets can be fixed onto tubular posts using a tube clip with an M6x20 countersunk head screw in a drilled clearance hole of 22.2mm (code B4-TB-04).

To specify the required length of balustrade assemblies, measure the distance between the inside posts in millimetres. This is the measurement that you need to state on the ordering page, having converted into metres (divide by 1000).
