The Wagner Companies is pleased to add Push-LockTM Fittings from Ultra-Tec® Cable Railing Systems to their offering of cable railing products. It’s easy to install cables in railings with the new field-installed Push-LockTM Fittings. They are attached to the cables by hand, eliminating the need for special swaging equipment. The cables come with a tensioner on one end and bare cable on the other. Simply cut the cable to length, push on the fittings and tension the cables. These sleek, stainless steel fittings can be used with wood or metal framed railings, indoors or outside. When installed, there are no ugly acorn nuts or rough cable ends and separate caps to deal with. Styles are available for level runs and stairs.
Ultra-tec's® exclusive Invisiware® hardware is hidden inside the end posts making it virtually invisible. We also offer hardware that is visible when installed but with smooth, rounded corners. More compact than awkward turnbuckles intended for other uses, all hardware has been designed specifically for pedestrian cable railings.
All Ultra-tec® Cable Railing System hardware can be swaged in the field by using one of our portable swaging tools. Swaging in the field permits intermediate post and braces to be bored just slightly larger than the diameter of the cable being used since only the cable will have to pass through. If purchased pre-swaged, the intermediate posts and braces have to be bored to allow for the larger diameter of the swaged fitting to pass through the intermediate post or brace. If desired, fittings can be swaged onto one or both of the cable ends at the factory. New Ultra-tec® Push-LockTM fittings simplify installation – requiring only one end be pre-swaged with a tensioner and the other end field cut and assembled.
By using our pre-tensioning tool, runs of up to 150 feet and longer can be achieved while maintaining tight cable tension using Ultra-tec® hardware.
