How It Works
Handy Grip fittings are offered for use with 1x19 or 7x7 cable strand configurations. All hardware is made from the high quality 316 grade stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance.
The Lag Stud has been developed for direct attachment to wood surface with a minimum of 3" of wood blocking for full thread engagement. Holes are simply pre-drilled into the connecting wood surface and the lag is threaded into the hole.
The strength of the cable assembly is limited to the lag holding power and mounting material (solid wood blocking is required) Lag hardware is only recommended for light duty use and not for commercial use. |

Handy Grip
Swageless Cable Hardware Assembly Instructions
Please follow the instructions below exactly as described. Cable Art Inc. accepts no liability for improper use or assembly of these products.
Designed for use with stainless steel cable in strand configurations of 1x19 or 7x7. Sizes include 1/8"or 3/16" diameter. |
If you have chosen the Handy Grip System for your project the instructions below should help you with the install process. Please be sure to read complete instructions before proceeding. Improper installation can result in injury!
If you have any questions please call before proceeding. (If one end of cable is machine swaged, read step #1 then go to step #4) |
|
| Step 1 - |
Cut cable to length. Note: Once cut, the cable should not exhibit any burrs or strand deformation. See figure 1. |
| Step 2 - |
Install the "Body Section" of the fitting with the largest / threaded opening facing out. See figure 2. |
| Step 3 - |
Install the "Cone Section" onto the wire with the smallest diameter first. See figure 3. Note: If the cone does not slide on "freeley" due to some deformation of the wire, twist the cone, in the same direction as the lay of the wire, while applying light to moderate inward pressure. Once the cone clears the cable end, it should slide with little effort. See figure 4. |
| Step 4 - |
Using the hole in the "End Fitting" as a depth guide, (See figure 5) place the end fitting over the cable end until it bottoms out. See figure 6. |
| Step 5 - |
While holding the "End Fitting" bottomed against the wire, slide the cone to the face to mate with the end fitting face. See figure 7. |
| Step 6 - |
Slide the body section to the "End Fitting" and engage the threads. See figure 8. |
| Step 7 - |
Tighten the threads to a minimum torque of 23 Foot/lbs. to ensure proper grip on wire. See figure 9. |
