(FIGURE 4) Note: the first few crimps may be
difficult but the tool will loosen up as you
make more joints.

INSTALLING END-FI
TTINGS:
Once you have an end-fitting crimped onto the cable
you will:
1. Remove acorn nut, flat washer, and
tensioning nut from the end fitting
(FIGURE: 5)

2. Insert the threaded portion of the end-fitting
through the post where the cable is to
terminate (FIGURE: 6)
3. Place the flat washer back onto the end-
fitting and thread on the tensioning nut:
a. For short runs (less than 10FT of
railing thread on the tensioning nu
t
le
aving 2-4 threads exposed
(FIGURE: 7)
b. For long runs of railing thread on the
tensioning nut leaving zero threads
exposed (FIGURE: 8)
MEASURING & CUTTING CABLE:
Once the first end-fitting has been installed into a
end post, go back to the cable at the other end post
at the end of the run. Pull the cable tight and mark
the cable just to the inside edge of the end post
(FIGURE: 9) (FOR STAIR RUNS ADD 1/2”)
Once you
have marked the cable, use the cable cutters
provided in your kit to cut the cable on that mark.
