Wire Balustrade Kit #61s – Swage Stud Timber Insert System (Timber)

A staff favourite, this stainless wire balustrade kit is slimline, neat and aesthetically pleasing. It's designed to minimise the visual impact of your wire balustrade. It is quite easy to install , reducing the 'hidden' labour cost of some of the lower cost systems available.

This kit is suitable for stairs, ramps and angled sections.

See Wire Balustrade Kit #61 for a version of this kit that is designed for straight/flat wire runs.

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. 
6. Insert the RHT swage stud terminal into the RHT Pivot Point. Do vice versa for the LHT fittings.
7. Insert the RHT Pivot Point into the RHT Threaded Timber Insert. Do vice versa for the LHT fittings. Thread with hands first and tension the swage stud terminals with a spanner multi tool or spanner.
