DIY Install Instructions

1. Using a 13mm countersink bit, countersink the posts for your threaded timber inserts
2. Pre-drill your post holes for the threaded inserts using a 9.5mm drill bit.
3. Drive the threaded inserts into the posts with a 6mm hex drive bit
4. Insert the wire rope into the swage stud terminal ends at each end of your run.
5. Crimp the swage terminals onto the wire. These fittings require the use of a hydraulic swaging tool.  Alternately you opt for our Factory Swaging Service where we perform all the wire cutting and swaging.
6. Thread the RHT and LHT swage stud terminals into the threaded timber inserts at the same time. As you do this, the wire will slowly tighten. It's important to thread both ends in at the same rate; don't thread one end in first or else you won't be able to thread the other end in. Thread with hands first and tension the swage stud terminals with a spanner multi tool or spanner.
