How It Works
Push-Lock® Fittings are installed by hand, to avoid the need to swage fittings in the field. Cables are supplied a little longer than necessary, with tensioners on one end and bare cable on the other end. The tensioners are installed on one end post, then the cables are cut to final length. The Push-Lock® Fittings are slipped into the other end post. The cables are then pushed into the Push-Lock® Fittings by hand. The cables are tensioned, to complete the installation.
The Push-Lock® fittings are used on level runs. They rest in a hole in the end post. When used with an end post larger than 1-1/2" in thickness, The Push-Lock® fitting is hidden inside the end post, with only the head exposed on the outside of the post. Pipe ends are counterbored, so the full perimeter of the head will rest on a flat surface in the pipe. A plastic washer is included and acts as a scratch resistant barrier between the Push-Lock® fitting and a metal post. The head rests on the outside wall of a flat-sided metal post or on a stainless steel washer on a wooden post. For wood applications, Also order part number 11HW14 washer.
