Your wires will arrive to your door pre-swaged to your exact measurements for a very quick and simple installation.

FAQ About Tensioner Swage Stud System

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?

Because the Tensioner Swage Stud System arrives at your door pre-made from our factory you will only require common handyman tools such as an electric drill, drill bits and M6 Allen Key. You can purchase drill bits and an Allen Keys from Miami Stainless for easy installation 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?

Yes, the Tensioner Swage Stud System for timber and metal posts can be used for stair or angled sections when used with Beveled Washers.  For more information, please contact Miami Stainless here.

Please note: If you are using grommets, the required drill size is 11/32″.

What size hole should I drill through my start and termination posts?

A 7.5mm hole will suit the Rod Terminal end and the M6 Tensioner end will require a 9.0mm hole.

Can I take my balustrade wire around corners?
