2. Every run of railing has (2) “end posts” where the cable terminates. The rest of the posts between those
(2) end posts are referred to as “mid posts”. Pass the cable through all mid posts leaving end posts voi
d
of
cable. Be sure you are passing the cable through the same hole on each post (i.e. the 11
th
hole) Pro tip:
we recommend starting on the bottom cable hole and working your way up to the top (one at a time)
At this point you should have a single strand of cable that has passed through each of the mid posts between the
(2
) end pos
ts.
For example: if you are running cable for a 15FT run of railing, the cable has passed through the
(2) mid posts leaving the (2) end posts void of cable and ready for cable end-fittings
CRIMPING END-FITTINGS:
Next, open one of your bags of end-fittings and remove a fitting
1. Slid
e the cable that you just ran through your
mi
d posts completely into the end-fitting
(FIGURE: 1).
2. Open the hand crimping tool included in your
kit and place the end-fitting into the smalles
t
crimping groove labeled 1/16 (FIGURE: 2)
3.
The distance from the crimper to the end of
the fitting (where the cable inserts into the
end-fitting) should be approximately ½” – ¾”
(FIGURE: 3)
4.
Bring the handles of the crimping tool
together until the crimping head is closed
