* 3/16” Hex Allen Key
* Drill
* Drill Bits:
- 29/64”
- 5/32” (if there are intermediate posts between
the terminating end posts or where the length of
the receiver or Pull-Lock® fitting you are using

Drill Posts_____________________________________________________________________________
|
Terminating (end) post for Invisiware® Receivers
Drill a 29/64” hole from the back side of the end posts where each cable will be installed. For a 1-1/2” or less square end post using a 1-1/2” long receiver, a 2” end post using a 2” long receiver, a 2-3/8” end post using a 2-3/8” long receiver, or a standard 4x4 using a 3-1/2” long receiver, drill the hole completely through the post. For posts thicker than the length of the receiver, drill a 5/32” pilot hole completely through the post, then drill a 29/64” hole only through the back surface of the end post (in the case of a wood post, to a depth a little greater than the length of the receiver) but not completely through the post. |

Terminating (end) post for Pull-Lock® fittings
Drill a 29/64” hole from the back
side of the end posts where each cable will be
installed. For a 2”or less square end post,
drill the hole completely through the post. For
posts greater than 2” thick, drill a 5/32” pilot
hole completely through the post, then drill a
29/64” hole only through the back surface of the
end post (in the case of a wood post, to a depth
a little greater than the length of the Pull-Lock®
fitting) but not completely through the post.
Intermediate post or other element through
which the cable will pass between the end
posts
Drill 5/32” diameter holes lined up with
the holes in the end post through which the cable
will pass between end posts.

Install Invisiware® Receivers_________________________________________________ |
- Slide the washer (black plastic for metal
posts, 11HW14 stainess steel for wood
posts) over the body of the receiver,
then feed the receiver through the hole
in the back of the post.
- By hand, screw the receiver body onto
the swaged stud at least 6 full turns.
Do not tension the cables at this point.
|
|
|
String the cable through the holes drilled in
your intermediate posts (or other elements
through which the cable passes between
end posts) and through the end post where
you will be installing the Pull-Lock® fitting. |
|
See illustration below Post A is the end post
to which the receiver is attached; Post B is the
end post to which the Pull-Lock® fitting is to be
attached. |

Install Pull-Lock® fittings____________________________________________________ |
- With the cable strung through the end post,
cut the cable with a cable cutter (82T07), leaving enough cable extending out the back side of the post to be able to grasp the cable firmly with your hand (6” or more).
- Slide the washer (black plastic for metal posts,11HW14 stainless steel for wood posts) over the body of the Pull-Lock® fitting.
- Push the cable into the hole in the front of the Pull-Lock® fitting, and pull
the cable through the fitting. Twist the cable in the right-hand direction (with the lay of the cable) as you push it through the fitting. Then slide the fitting along the cable and up to the back side of the post.
- Hold the cable with one hand and slide the Pull-Lock® fitting into the hole in the post. Press the back of the fitting to hold it securely in the post and pull the cable through the fitting until it is as tight as you can make it.
- Pull the cable to set the gripping action of the Pull-Lock® fitting.
- Tension the cables.
After all the cables have been installed in
both end posts, tension the cables with the receivers on the other end to approximately 150 lbs. per cable by holding the cable with cable gripping pliers (50TCG1) closely behind the stud. Turn the receiver clockwise with a 3/16” hex key as illustrated at right.
Note: Tension in sequence shown in the illustration at right, beginning with outside the cables and moving from side to side toward the center
- Cut the cable flush with the hole in
the back of the Pull-Lock® fitting,
using a cut-off wheel (11TCUTKIT).
- Press the cap onto the lip of the Pull Lock® fitting.
