Push-Lock™ Stop-End Fittings

Field-installed Push-Lock™ fittings make cable railing easy to install on level runs or stairs.


Push-Lock™ fitting are designed for use with 1/8" - 1x19 L.H. lay strand only. They can be used with any tensioning device on the other end...but when used with Receivers with Push-Lock™ Stud, both ends can be put on the cable by hand without any swaging or special tools.


EASY INSTALL

You can order your cables with a tensioner already on one end or you can install a tensioner on one end on site. Attach the tensioner on one end post then cut your cable to length. Slip the Push-Lock™ fitting into the other end post or, using the style with a threaded eye, mount it to a tab on the outside of the post. Push the cable into the Push-Lock™ fitting, tension the cable, and you're done!


FOR LEVEL RUNS
The PL-4 Push-Lock™ fitting (with rounded heads) are used on level runs. They rest in a hole in the end post. When used with an end post 1-1/2" or more in thickness, the Push-Lock™ fitting with a rounded head is hidden inside the end post, with only the head exposed on the outside of the post. Pipe ends can be 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 Push-Lock ™ fitting and a metal post. The head rests on the outside wall of a fall-sided metal post or on a stainless steel washer on a wooden post.
For wood applications, add 7/16SAE Washer.


STAIRS OR SEVERE PITCHES
PL-TE4 Push-Lock™ fittings with threaded eye ends are for use on stairs. They attach to a wood end post with a lag eye. They attach to a wood end post using our fixed tab or threaded tabs. Mount with an SC-6 Screw.

For wood applications, also order the 7/16SAE stainless steel washer.

Receivers with Push-Lock™ Stud

Tensioning devices that require no swaging or special tools.


Similar to our Invisiware® receivers, but when used with Push-Lock™ studs there is no need to swage thethreaded stud onto the cable. Receivers with Push-Lock™ swageless studs can be used with any fitting on the other end, but when used with our other swageless fittings, both ends can be put on the cable by hand without any swaging or special tools.


EASY INSTALL

Push-Lock™ studs are designed for use with 1/8 -1x19 L.H. lay strand only. Push the cable into the Push-Lock™ swageless stud, where it will be securely held inside the fitting. The receiver is female-threaded to accept the male threaded end of the fitting. The head of the receiver is broached for an Allen wrench. To tension the cable, use an Allen wrench to rate the receiver around the threaded end of the stuf.
