    Standard Cable Assemblies : Key Features & Benefits

Special End Fittings Are Easy To Install & Conceal



Assemblies begin with the Threaded Terminal fitting already fastened to one end of the cable when it comes from the factory. Attach the terminal to an end post using a Flat Washer and a special Snug-Grip™ Washer-Nut and adjust tension in the line by spinning and torquing the Snug-Grip™ Washer-Nut. Available in two sizes: 4-1/4" for metal posts and 7-1/2" for wood posts. Material: type 316 stainless steel.

The other end uses the new all stainless QuickConnect-SS™ fitting. The fitting attaches to the cable by hand in the field without special tools. One-way jaws allow the cable to easily slide through in one direction but automatically grab and lock-on when the cable is released. Just slip the cable through, pull it tight and cut-off the excess. Colored or Stainless Steel End Caps give a clean finish detail. 1/8" size: 1-1/8" long with 3/8" diameter body. 3/16" and 1/4" size: 1-5/8" long with a 17/32" diameter body. Material: all stainless steel.
