Swageless Non-Tensioning Fittings

Swageless non-tensioning fittings offer a practical solution for attaching cables in railing systems without swaging tools. These fittings feature a reliable compression mechanism that securely holds the cable, ensuring a clean and professional installation. Unlike tensioning fittings, non-tensioning fittings are designed primarily for cable attachment rather than for adjusting cable tension. They are ideal for applications where cable tension is already set or where minimal adjustment is needed, providing a secure and aesthetically pleasing finish to the railing system without the complexity of tensioning.

Push-Lock

The Push-Lock is a concealed fitting for level runs between metal and/or wood posts. It is compatible with 1/8" and 3/16" diameter 1x19 stainless steel cable but must be used with a tensioning fitting on the opposite end of the run. The Push-Lock will accept the cable, keeping it in place with special locking-wedge technology, requiring no special tools. Installation requires pre-drilling a hole into the post and inserting the fitting with a Delrin washer for metal posts or a stainless-steel washer for wood posts. Then, secure the cable to the other end of the fitting.

Push-Lock Threaded Bolt

This fitting is exposed or face-mounted, suitable for level runs, and available for 1/8" and 3/16" diameter 1x19 stainless steel cable.

Installation is simple: predrill a hole in the metal post for the threaded bolt & attach it with a Delrin washer. Then, insert the cable into the other end of the fitting.

Push-Lock Threaded Clevis

The Push-Lock Threaded Clevis is designed for level or pitched runs between metal posts. Compatible with 1/8" and 3/16" diameter 1x19 stainless steel cable, it must also be used opposite any tensioning fitting. Installation for this fitting is straightforward: predrill a hole for the threaded clevis and secure it to the post. Then, the cable is inserted into the other end of the fitting, which will use its locking-wedge technology to hold the cable in place while maintaining tension. No special tools are required, and the Clevis design allows you to adjust the pitch angle.

Push-Lock Lag

This fitting is face-mounted, suitable for level runs, wood posts, and 1/8" and 3/16" diameter 1x19 stainless steel cable. It must be used with a tensioning fitting on the opposite end of the run. Installation is similar to many of these fittings. We recommend that for the tightest fit, the lag head be drilled into the wood post, or for wood posts with composite sleeves, the sleeve and post be pre-drilled. Then, the cable can be inserted into the other end with the fitting installed. The cable will stay in place thanks to the locking-wedge system within.

To install, pre-drill a hole into the post and insert the threaded lag. Then, the cable can be inserted into the other end. It is locked in place via the locking-wedge system, which grips the cable and creates tension when the cable is pulled.
