Swageless Lag Screw Terminal

What does swageless mean?

A swageless terminal or termination is a type of end fitting that will be applied to wire rope. Connection points are easily created between two ropes. Or to create a connection between the rope and an existing fitting on your worksite. Its use will depend upon the type of swageless fitting chosen.

The swageless term refers to the fact that this is only a temporary connection, and will be manually fitted by hand. There are special jaw type parts within the fitting ( you will notice these protruding from the end in the image). Which, when tightened up will clamp onto the rope holding it firmly in place. This is in contrast to a swaged terminal, which has been pressured down by a machine using extreme force and pressure, which creates a permanent fitting.

This Swageless Lag Screw Terminal is a specialized, tool-free hardware fitting used to secure architectural cable railing directly into the surface of wood posts, walls, or composite newel frames.Unlike traditional swage fittings that require expensive hydraulic crimpers, this component allows for simple mechanical or hand installation. Its swageless design eliminates the need for bulky, costly tools, allowing quick installation without specialized equipment or training.

It is usually used in conjunction with the Swageless Lag Screw Turnbuckle

Lag Screw Thread End: Features a heavy-duty wood thread, that bites directly into timber framing. Because of its compact length, it can usually be installed on 4x4 corner posts without colliding with adjacent runs.

Swageless Clamping Chamber: The head of the terminal houses an internal mechanical locking system. Depending on the specific brand design, it secures the stainless steel cable using either:Automatic Push-Lock Jaws: Spring-loaded internal teeth that grip the cable permanently the moment it is pushed into the tube.Threaded Tapered Wedges: A cone-shaped internal clamping system that is compressed and locked down onto the wire strands by tightening an external nut with a pair of wrenches.

The Lag Screw Terminals should be paired with a turnbuckle or other tensioning hardware in order to insure proper cable tension for your deck railing. The terminals are made from T316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel.
