We want to introduce our swage threaded stainless steel cable tensioner, give you a few tips on how to use them and cover an improvement that we've made. So swage threaded tensioners come individually wrapped so that they are protected during transport. They're great for metal and wood posts. One of the improvements we have made is we've added a ring that allows you to know exactly how far the cable goes in, then you know how far to cut it, and you know where to swage the fitting. So, a few tips that we have for you, with using these fittings is when you're installing them, say you're using a 2×2″ post, go ahead and get all of them ready. Say you don't want it to stick out too far, get it ready, its a 10 foot run, you're not going to need much tensioning on there. You're going to want to hold the stainless steel cable tensioner next to the post. You're able to then take the cable, stretch it tight and mark it to this line and then you know where to cut. Then go ahead and remove all the hardware, make your swages. A higher end hydraulics tool you'll only need to swage it once to a hand tool you'll want to swage three times. You'll then go ahead, make your swaging, attach the cable to the fitting, slide the fitting in through the post at that point and then reinstall your hardware.Dimensions & Weight - Total Length With Acorn Nut: 4.26" Total Length Without Acorn Nut: 4.12" Thread: 2.22"x 0.23" Swaging Section: 1.49"x 0.24" Weight: 0.05 lb
