ProRig Jaw Swage Bottlescrew System for Timber Posts

Our Jaw Swage Bottlescrew System is one of our most popular streamline stainless steel wire balustrade systems for stair or angled sections. Available to suit both timber and metal posts, the Jaw Swage Bottlescrew System is perfect for high use areas where children, pets or guests may pull on the wires.

To install the Jaw Swage Bottlescrew System into timber posts simply screw the supplied Screw Eyes into your timber posts, attach the pre-swaged fittings at the end of each wire by siding the pin through the Screw Eye and create tension by rotating the Bottlescrew using a ProRig C-Spanner.

To order, simply measure the distance from inside to inside post between the starting and finishing points of your posts and provide them to Miami Stainless either through our online Balustrade Builder or contact us directly via phone, fax or email. Your wires will arrive to your door pre-swaged to your exact measurements for a very quick and simple installation.

Please Note: This method is suitable for both timber and metal posts.

FAQ about ProRig Jaw Swage Bottlescrew System for Timber Posts

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?

For timber posts, the Jaw Swage Bottlescrew System does not need any specialist tools other then common handyman tools such as an electric drill and 4.0mm drill bit. You can also purchse our Screw Eye Drive Bit which allows for easier installation of the Screw Eyes into your timber posts.

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 Regulations

Can I use this balustrade system on a stair or angled section?

Yes, the Jaw Swage Bottlescrew System for timber and metal posts is the most common system used for stair or angled sections.

What is the maximum length run I can do?

Both Jaw Swage Bottlescrew Systems can easily span up to 10 meters. Spans of up to 16 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 7.5mm hole through your intermediate posts will allow the Swage Stud pass through. Please note: If you are using grommets, the required drill size is 11/32″.

Can I take my balustrade wire around corners?

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.
