ProRig Insert Tension Rod System (requires a swaging tool)

Yes, even someone with no experience can easily install all our wire balustrade systems.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, the Insert Tension Rod System can be used on a stair or angled section as long as the Threaded Inserts are inserted into your timber posts at the same angle as the stair or ramp section. A larger counter sink will be required to allow for the M6 locking nut. Please note: It is recommended you prepare a drilling jig to assist with drilling your pilot hole. Check out our resources section here to learn how to make a drilling jig.

You will require a 9.5mm pilot hole to a depth of at least 40mm. Finish off the pilot hole with a counter sinking bit to allow the Threaded Inserts to sit flush with your posts.

The Insert Tension Rod System can easily span up to 10 meters. Longer runs up to 16 meters can be achieved by using a Tension Rod at each end, please contact Miami Stainless for further information.

 A 4.0mm hole through your intermediate posts will allow the wire rope to pass through.

Miami Stainless highly recommends that you do not bend your wire around corners; this can fatigue the wire, put excessive stress on your posts, and make it difficult to get the required tension on your wire to meet NCC Regulations.
