1 × 19, Type 316
stainless steel Cable.
1 × 19 construction Cable is engineered to hold static loads without stretching and it is relatively stiff. Left hand lay cable for use with all Ultra-tec® Fittings.

Our recommended cable for most applications is 1x19 construction, type 316 stainless steel cable.

Other constructions of cable can be used, such as 7x7 or 7x19, but they are rarely recommended.

Cable Construction Type 316 Stainless Steel is used, unless otherwise specified.
  • To minimize deflection, cable needs to be:
    • As rigid as possible and
    • Resistant to stretch under load. Cable stretch is undesirable, and the longer the cable runs between terminals the more it will stretch as it is tensioned.
Cable Construction Characteristics
1 x 19
Cable
 Very rigid. Lowest stretching under load. 1 x 19 is the preferred construction for cable railings, under most circumstances.
7 x 7
Cable
Less rigid than 1 x 19.
May have application where sharp bends are involved and on shorter runs where stretch is a negligible factor. (Not readily available in left hand lay.)
7 x 19
7 x 19 cable
Less rigid than 7 x 7

Cable Applications
Cable Dia.
Typical Applications
1/8"*
 Can be used on horizontal railings where there is little or no pedestrian traffic or where railing does not need to meet code requirements (such as where there is little or no drop off). Can be used on vertical railings, which are not as susceptible to heavy shock loads as horizontal railings.
3/16"
 Most commonly used diameter for pedestrian railings.
¼"
Diameters larger than 3/16" can be used where a larger diameter is desirable from a visual/aesthetics standpoint.
5/16"
3/8"

*1/8" diameter cable can be vulnerable to failure under shock loads caused by abuse, such as a heavy person applying an out of plane load on a properly tensioned cable. 3/16" and larger cable diameters have significantly higher load ratings than 1/8" and are, therefore, not as susceptible to failure as 1/8".

NOTE: Ultra-tec® hardware is designed for use in pedestrian guardrailings. For other applications, consult the factory for suitability.
Design Parameters and Constraints:
Cable has a very high tensile strength
and is a suitable in-fill material for a guardrail. Spacing between posts and/or braces should not exceed 42". Recommended maximum vertical spacing of 3" free opening between cables when they are installed. For most applications, 3/16" diameter Cable is recommended.

Other Cable constructions can be used, such as 7 × 7 or 7 × 19, but they are rarely recommended because of their elevated levels of stretch and lower breaking strengths in comparison to 1 × 19 construction.

Measuring Cable:
The factory can cut Cable and swage fittings on Cables up to 60 feet in length.

To measure Cable when ordering pre-cut and swaged Cable:

  • Clearly identify fittings – by part number – that are to be used with the Cable.
  • For Invisiware® Receiver, Radius Ferrule or Clip-On Stop hardware, measure from back side of the post.
  • For Adjust-A-Jaw®, Adjust-A-Body™, Threaded Stud with Welded Receiver or Fixed Jaw hardware, measure from the inside surface of the post .
  • For Adjust-A-Jaw®, Adjust-A-Body™ or Fixed Jaw hardware, you may also measure from the center of the mounting hole.
  • Measure rail as if all are straight from tensioning post to anchor post. If rail is on a slope, measure on the slope.

Note: Re-spooling charges apply for orders under 5,000 feet.
 

Invisiware® Radius Ferrules

For use on the fixed, non-tensioning end of the cable, often in combination with the Invisiware® Receiver on the tensioning end. When installed, the fitting is hidden inside the end post with only the head exposed on the outside of the end post. Externally, it looks the same as the Invisiware® Receiver, but costs much less.

Pipe ends are counterbored so the full perimeter of the head of the Radius Ferrule will rest on a flat surface in the pipe. The head rests on the outside wall of a flat-sided post. A plastic washer is included and acts as a scratch resistant barrier between the Radius Ferrule head and the post.

For pipe and square tube railing only. The Radius Ferrule should not be used on rectangular, double post construction.

* After Swaging

Invisiware® Receiver

A tensioning device is hidden inside the end post with only the head of the Receiver exposed on the outside of the post. The inside is female-threaded to accept the male-threaded Invisiware® Swaging Stud that is attached to the cable. The head of the Receiver is broached for an Allen wrench. To tension the cable, insert the Allen wrench and rotate the Receiver around the male threads on the Swaging Stud. This will draw the Swaging Stud further inside the Receiver as you continue to turn it with the Allen wrench.

Pipe ends are counterbored so the full perimeter of the head of the Receiver will rest on a flat surface in the pipe. The head rests on the outside wall of a flat-sided post. Except where noted, a Plastic Washer is included and acts as a scratch resistant barrier between the Receiver head and the post.

COMPONENTS FOR THE ASSEMBLY OF TUBE CORNER SECTIONS
These stylish tube corner sections allow a change in direction without risk of damage to the cables. At the same time, they offer the streamlined look of a continuous piece of cable – that runs through the tube – and eliminates the cost and visual obstruction of additional mounting and tensioning hardware.

These corner sections are provided as components: elbows, posts and cable tubes. Each post is custom designed per job requirements with holes pre-drilled to accept cable tubes. Posts can also be provided pre-coped and in various styles and angles. All posts are custom made based on customer provided, detailed shop drawings. Upon request, Wagner can provide shop drawings – standard charges will apply.

To use cable tubes, clear holes are drilled in the posts to accept these smaller diameter elbows. The cable tubes are then inserted through the holes and welded into place. The cable may now be inserted through the tube providing a uniquely attractive fabrication.

Invisiware® Swaging Studs

Type 316 Stainless Steel – Moly Coated
This part is swaged onto the end of the Cable and used with the Invisiware® Receiver. When used with the Invisiware® Welded Receiver in a metal end post, it becomes a stop-end (non-tensioning end) fitting that is completely hidden inside the end post. The threaded surface is coated with a baked-on molybdenum-based dry film lubricant, to prevent the threads from binding when tensioned and in extreme environments.

Adjust-A-Jaw® Tensioners Clevis Style

  • Stainless Steel, Type 316
  • Available pre-swaged with pre-cut cable. Contact Wagner with your cable run requirements for pricing.
  • See Tools if you wish to do your own swaging.
Type 316 Stainless Steel
The Adjust-A-Jaw® Tensioner is a precision machined, sleek, streamlined tensioning device that is used where a high-tech look is desired. It is suitable for level runs or stair pitches. The clevis portion of the fitting attaches to the end post with a button head socket screw that threads directly into a tapped hole on one side of the clevis fitting.

Unlike common turnbuckles, the Adjust-A-Jaw® Tensioner has no sharp edges, no crevices to collect dust and dirt, no large areas of exposed threads or exposed swaged shanks, and nothing that will scratch or snag. See the tabulated drawing to determine how to interface this fitting with your end post, or use our Fixed Tab or Threaded Tab fittings.

The Clevis has a male thread that mates with the female thread within the Body. The Invisiware® Swaging Ferrule is swaged onto the Cable and holds the cable inside the Body. The Body rotates on the cable and provides a considerable amount of take-up during tensioning with an open-end wrench. After tensioning, the Lock Nut locks the assembly in place.

Ultra-tec® Fixed Jaw and Clip-on Fixed Jaw

  • Stainless Steel, Type 316
  • Available pre-swaged with pre-cut cable. Contact Wagner with your cable run requirements for pricing.
  • See Tools if you wish to do your own swaging.
Similar in appearance, the Ultra-Tec® Fixed Jaw is about one-half the price of the clevis-style Adjust-A-Jaw® Tensioner. Where you do not need a tensioner on both ends of the cable run, the economical Ultra-tec® Fixed Jaw is frequently used on the fixed, non-tensioning end of the cable with the clevis-style Adjust-A-Jaw® Tensioner on the tensioning end.

The Ultra-tec® Fixed Jaw makes a very attractive fitting where a high-tech look is desired on level runs as well as on pitches. The Invisiware® Swaging Ferrule is swaged onto the Cable and holds the Cable inside the clevis.

See the tabulated drawing to determine how to interface this fitting with your end post, or use our Fixed Tab or Threaded Tab fittings shown on page 54 of this catalog.

Adjust-A-Body™ with Threaded Bolt

  • Stainless Steel, Type 316
  • Available pre-swaged with pre-cut cable. Contact Wagner with your cable run requirements for pricing.
  • See Tools if you wish to do your own swaging.
  • Ferrule is not included
Similar to the Adjust-A-Body™ With Hanger Bolt Tensioner, it screws into a drilled and tapped hole in your steel or stainless steel end post and adjusts with an open end wrench. A real money-saver because there is no need for special tees with holes, welded on tabs or any other mounting device – and it’s about half the price of the clevis-style Adjust-A-Jaw® Tensioner

Cable Grommets

Cable Grommets are offered for popular cable diameters of 1/8", 3/16" and 1/4". They help prevent rust in exterior applications or elsewhere where moisture is a factor by providing a barrier between the cable and the painted or powder coated surface through which the Cable is drawn when being installed.

Ultra-tec® Cable Grommets are installed – after the paint or powder coating is applied – into holes in Intermediate Posts, Cable Braces and – in the case of the Invisiware® Radius Ferrule – into the end post holes through which the cable exits. They are offered in black UV resistant Delrin®.

Push-Lock™

FIELD INSTALLED PUSH-LOCK™ FITTINGS MAKE CABLE RAILING EASY TO INSTALL Two styles make your job easy – in metal or wood
NO FIELD SWAGING! Push-Lock™ fittings with rounded cap ends rest inside your metal or wood end posts on level runs. The fitting is hidden inside the post, with only the head exposed on the outside of the post.
**These fittings are stationary. They must be used with a tensioner on the opposite end.**
Note: For 1/2" cable and straight pull applications only.
Push-Lock™ fittings with threaded eyes mount to lag eyes, tabs or holes on the outside of your metal or wood post for use on stairs and severe pitches.

Cables come with a tensioner on one end. Install the tensioner on one end post, then cut the cable to length. Slip the Push-Lock™ fitting into the other end post or mount it with the tab to the outside of the post.

Push the cable into the Push-Lock™ fitting, tension the cable and you’re done.

Note: Push-Lock™ Tool Kit is required
EASY TO ORDER – EASY TO INSTALL
Select the tensioners you wish to use and provide the length of each of your cable runs. The cables will be shipped with tensioners swaged on one end and bare cable on the other end. Pre-cut cable will be approximately 3" longer than required to allow for potential fraying. Cut each cable to a final length on site and push it into the opening in the Push-Lock™ fitting.

PUSH-LOCK™ FOR LEVEL RUNS
Type 316 Stainless Steel
These Push-Lock™ fittings with rounded ends are used on level runs. They rest in a hole in the end post. When used with an end post 1-1/2" or more in thickness, the Push-Lock™ fitting is hidden inside the end post with only the head exposed on the outside of the post. Pipe ends are counterbored so the full perimeter of the head will rest on a flat surface in the pipe. A Plastic Washer is included and acts as a scratch-resistant barrier between the Push-Lock™ fitting and a metal post. The head rests on the outside wall of a flat-sided metal post or on a stainless steel washer on a wooden post. For wood applications, also order part number CR716SAE Washer.

FIELD INSTALLED PUSH-LOCKS™ STUDS REQUIRE NO SWAGING OR SPECIAL TOOLS USE WITH METAL OR WOOD POSTS
The receiver with Push-Lock™ stud rests inside your metal or wood end post
NO FIELD SWAGING
For use in wood, the fitting can rest against the outside of the end post or the post can be counterbored with the fitting recessed in the post. For wood applications, a larger diameter washer is needed to distribute the load over a wider surface. See CR716SAE Stainless Steel Washer.
Similar to our Invisiware® receivers but when used with Push-Lock™ studs there is no need to swage the threaded stud onto the cable. Receivers with Push-Lock™ swageless studs can be used with any fitting on the other end but when used with our other swageless fittings, both ends can be put on the cable by hand without any swaging or special tools.
EASY TO INSTALL
Push-Lock™ studs are designed for use with 1 × 19 L.H. lay strand only. Push the cable into the Push-Lock™ swageless stud, where it will be securely held inside the fitting. The receiver is female-threaded to accept the male-threaded end of the fitting. The head of the receiver is broached for an Allen wrench. To tension the cable, use an Allen wrench to rotate the receiver around the threaded end of the stud.

Special stainless steel beveled washers let you use Push-Lock™ tensioners on stairs or severe pitches with flat-sided metal posts. (Not offered for pipe or round tubing.)

With wood posts, you need to counterbore a 1" diameter hole at an angle, to accept the over-sized stainless steel washer that distributes the load over a wider surface than is required with a metal post.

Pull-Lock™ Stop End Fittiings

FIELD INSTALLED PULL-LOCK™ FITTINGS MAKE CABLE RAILING EASY TO INSTALL USE WITH METAL OR WOOD POSTS

NO FIELD SWAGING
Pull-Lock™ fittings are designed for use with 1 × 19 L.H. lay strand only. They can be used with any tensioning device on the other end, but when used with our swageless tensioners, both ends can be put on the cable by hand without any swaging or special tools.

EASY TO INSTALL
You can order your cables with a tensioner already on one end or you can install a tensioner on one end on site. Attach the tensioner on one end post, slip the Pull-Lock™ fitting into the other end post and pull the cable all the way through the Pull-Lock™ fitting. Tension the cables, then cut the excess cable off on the back side of the fitting with a 4" right angle grinder or a cutting wheel that is used with your hand drill. Press on the stainless steel cap to cover the bare cable end, and you’re done!
Pull-Lock™ fittings are used with pipe and with round, square, or rectangular metal tubing. When used with an end post 1-1/2" or more in thickness, the Pull-Lock™ fitting is hidden inside the end post, with only the head exposed on the outside of the post. Pipe ends are counterbored so the full perimeter of the screw cap head rests on a flat surface in the pipe. The head rests on the outside wall of a flat-sided metal post. A Plastic Washer is included and acts as a scratch-resistant barrier between the screw cap head and the metal post. For wood applications, also order CR716SAE Stainless Steel Washer.

Threaded Hex Tensioner

Wagner’s new Hex Head Tensioner provides an economical alternative when installing vertical cable assemblies. A standard Ferrule is used as a cable stop to create a pre-swaged assembly that is then attached directly to a pre-threaded hole on a horizontal rail.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Rail Preparation
Note: Wagner can provide pre-drilled and tapped material per your specifications.
  • A vertical brace should be provided every 30" or less to keep the top and bottom rails from bowing inwardly.
  • Locate holes in your Top and Bottom Rails to accept the Threaded Hex Tensioner. Spacing should be no more than 3-1/4" on center.
  • For tubing or pipe with wall thickness greater than 0.59", you can use a Flowdrill® to extrude a tapped hole in the material. Got to www.wagnercompanies.com/Flowdrill.aspx for more information.
  • For tubing or pipe with a wall thickness of .140" or greater, you can drill and tap to accept a 5/16-24 thread.
Cable Preparation
Note: Wagner can pre-swage cables per your dimensions.
  • Determine cable cut length by using this formula where a = Inside-to-Inside Dimension:
Cut Length = a + .750" + 1.375"
Hex Head
Example:
42" high guard using 11⁄2" pipe (1.90" OD) with 3.75" opening below Bottom Rail

a = 42" - 1.90" - 1.90" - 3.75" = 34.45"

Cut Length = 34.45" + .750" + 1.375" = 36.575"
  • Cut your cable to this dimension.
  • Attach a Ferrule to one end of your cable using any one of our swaging tools - available for rent or purchase from Wagner.
  • Insert the open end of the cable through a Hex Tensioner with the threaded end facing in the opposite direction.
  • Insert a second Hex Tensioner onto the cable with the threaded end facing in the opposite direction.
  • Attach another Ferrule to the bare end of the cable.
Assembly:
  • Insert the pre-swaged cable with Hex Tensioner into the tapped hole on the bottom rail and tighten to a loose fit.
  • Repeat for the Top Rail connection.
  • Repeat for each cable in the rail assembly.
  • Confirm all alignment and begin final tensioning - starting with the center-most cable - with an open end wrench.
  • Once the first cable is tensioned, continue to tension outwardly - alternating left and right center.
  • Check cable tension as needed and confirm that all cables are taut and have been tightened to tension of 400 lbs.
