Architectural Railing Systems

Termination Stud System

Attachment: Our Termination Stud System is very simple to setup and install. Simply drill holes in your verticals for the cable to pass through. The termination cap pulls against the last vertical to tension.

Examples of Applications: This system is very good for retrofitting existing rails to meet current codes. Termination Studs are a very cost effective and clean method of installing and tensioning cable assemblies because they can be used with any type or style of post. The termination shaft on the turnbuckle is available in different lengths to pass through various post sizes.

Other Information: Our standard termination stud turnbuckle can be used for up to a 2" OD post on a level or angle run. Rods are also available for 6", and 12" posts.
(316 grade stainless steel).

Countersunk Termination Stud System

Our countersunk termination stud system utilizes the same features as our termination stud system with a flush fit look. To be used with flat bar or box tube posts. Simply use a standard 82° countersink on your end posts and the fitting will fit flush.

Swage to Swage Turnbuckles

For longer cable runs or simply to establish a certain look, swage to swage cables can be used. Swage to swage turnbuckles can be used in the middle of or anywhere along a cable run for look as well as functionality. They can be used to extend a cable run to any length by spacing them along the cable approximately 25 to 35 apart. Swage to swage turnbuckles can be used in combination with any termination style fittings and are 316 grade stainless steel.

Adjust-A-Balls

Adjust-A-Balls are used for stair angle compensation. These half round balls allow for the cable to swivel to the proper stair angle automatically. Simply drill the proper hole and the ball will adjust to the proper position as the cable is tensioned.

Toggle Jaw System

Attachment: Features fork style ends for attachment with screws and nuts (supplied) for a variety of post styles including: tee-stock, angle iron, flat bar welded to post, loops attached to post, eyebolts (shown below), etc. The toggling feature allows for angled takeoff.

Examples of applications: cable rails, hanging signs or shelving, even structural applications such as canopy supports, collar tie cables, or fabric structures.

Other Information: Attachment size corresponds to width of clevis, ex. 1/4" pin=1/4" opening. Toggles come supplied with cotter pin and ring pins, or screws and lock nuts. Toggle jaws may also be combined with any other system. (316 grade stainless steel). Fixed fork hardware is used for cable sizes 1/2" through 1". Fixed fork clevis hardware is also available for smaller sizes as a special order.

Deck Toggle System

Attachment: is by two screw holes in the deck toggle base. Deck toggles are excellent for attaching to wood posts or blocking (requires minimum 3" wood blocking). Please note that the cable strength is based on the attachment screws and the attachment material.

Examples of Applications: Our Deck Toggle System is used for cables that need to be face mounted or where an angled takeoff is required. These toggles can be used with any post configuration and are excellent for angled cable runs as our deck toggle fittings articulate more than 90 degrees.

Other Information: Deck toggles can be attached to either side of a common post by through bolting or if wall thickness of post is thick enough you can drill and tap posts to accept machine screws. Components can be mixed and matched with other systems for versatility. 316 grade stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance.

Lag Screws

Lag Turnbuckle System

Attachment: Pre-drill your holes to minimum size necessary. Different woods require different hole sizes. Use of a lubricant such as soap or wax will allow easier installation of lag into the post. Use caution not to use a material that will stain your posts. Our lag studs require a minimum of 3 inches of wood blocking

Examples of Applications: Our lag system is designed for direct attachment into wooden surfaces.

Other Information: Lag hardware should be fully engaged before tension is applied to cables. Since these cables are only as strong as the lag holding power and mounting material (solid wood blocking is required), they are only recommended for light duty use and not for commercial use. (316 grade stainless steel)

Threaded Termination Stud System

Attachment: Our Threaded Termination Stud System is very easy to setup and install. Simply drill holes in your verticals for the cable to pass through. Nuts and cap nuts pull against the last vertical to tension. Cables in this system are fabricated to allow the threaded studs to pass through to the outside of the end posts. You then secure and tension the cables by threading a stainless hex nut onto the stud. You tighten the hex nut against the outside of your end post until the cable is tensioned properly. End of stud will be capped off with a stainless acorn cap nut, dome nut, or ball end.

Examples of Applications: Threaded termination studs can be a very clean and cost effective method of installing and tensioning cable assemblies. This system is very good for retrofitting existing rails to meet current codes. These can be used in conjunction with our termination stud system, using a termination stud on one end and a threaded stud on the other can support a run of up to 20 feet. Using a threaded stud on both ends will support a run of 30-40 feet.

Other Information: The threaded stud on the turnbuckle is available in different lengths to pass through various post sizes. Use with washers, and cap (acorn) nuts, ball ends, or dome nuts. 316 grade stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance.

Adjust-A-Balls

Adjust-a-balls are used for stair angle compensation. These half round balls allow for the cable to swivel to the proper stair angle automatically. Simply drill the proper hole and the ball will adjust to the proper position as the cable is tensioned.

Replacement Hardware

These newly redesigned swage studs are now completely CNC machined for optimum quality and strength. Available in both handy crimp or machine swage. (316 grade stainless steel) New Hardware includes more end fittings for threaded studs such as ball ends and dome nuts. Also available are 30 degrees. beveled washers.
