How To Tension Cable Railing (2:27)
This video details the necessary steps to make a swaged (or crimped) cable railing connection.
Steps completed before filming:
- Doing one section at a time, measure overall length from outside face of beginning post to outside face of ending post, then add an extra 3”.
- Using the measurement from step 1, unroll cable and cut to length.
Steps demonstrated in video:
- Attach either a Field Tensioner or a Field Terminal to one end of the cable using the Crimper.
- Push the crimped fitting through the drilled hole of the beginning post and secure with hardware.
- Lace the raw cut end of the cable through all intermediate posts.
- Determine final cut length of cable and cut it. Attach second end fitting and secure with hardware.
- Tension the cable, remove the excess threading and finish attaching end hardware.
- Passivate the cables and other exposed stainless steel surfaces to keep them clean and protected from corrosion.
