FAQ About This Method
Can I install this method myself? Yes, even someone with no experience can easily install all our wire balustrade systems.
Do I need any special tools? Other than common handyman tools such as an electric drill and drill bits you will need a Hex Swaging Tool, Soft Jaw Pliers and a set of Wire Rope Cutters. You can purchase these tools and drill bits for easy installation of this system if required.
What size and type of stainless steel wire do I use? This method is almost always used with 3.2mm 1 x 19 stainless steel wire rope. This wire is the most functional for stainless steel wire balustrade systems due to its bright surface finish, attractive appearance, durability, strength and low stretch.
What spacing do I need between my wires? When using 3.2mm 1 x 19 stainless steel wire, you will usually need 80mm spacing (usually 11 runs) between your wires when using a standard one (1) meter high handrail. Please click here for more information on the current NCC Wire Balustrade Regulations.
Can I use this balustrade system on a stair or angled section? No, the Nutsert Tension Rod System cannot be used on a stair or angled section. However you can use the Jaw Swage Bottlescrew System for metal posts.
What size pilot hole should I drill for my Nutserts? You will require a 11.0mm hole to suit the Nutserts.
What is the maximum length run I can do? The Nutsert Tension Rod System can easily span up to 6 meters. Longer runs up to 12 meters can be achieved by using a Tensioner at each end, please contact Miami Stainless for further information.
What size hole should I drill through my intermediate posts? A 4.0mm hole through your intermediate posts will allow the wire rope pass through.
Can I take my balustrade wire around corners? It is not possible with this system to take the balustrade wire around corners.
