Description
For Metal Posts
The Invisiware® Receiver with Invisiware® Stud combination is a concealed, swaged, tensioning, through-the-post-mounted fitting that is suitable for level runs. Receivers and studs are available for 1/8”, 3/16”, 1/4”, 5/16”, and 3/8” diameter 1×19 stainless steel cable; 1/8” and 3/16” sizes are also suitable for pitched applications.
The Invisiware® Receiver with Invisiware® Stud can be used with any other fitting on the opposite end of the run. This fitting is placed and concealed within a pre-drilled hole in the metal end post. The Receiver is furnished with a Delrin® washer that is installed between the shoulder of the fitting and the end post to protect the surface of the finish of the end post as tension is applied. The stud is swaged onto one end of the cable and is inserted and threaded into the Receiver installed in the end post. Tension is created by rotating the Receiver (with a hex wrench inserted into its broached end) and drawing the Stud into the Receiver.
This fitting in 1/8” and 3/16” cable sizes can also be used in pitched applications using the same method (including a horizontally drilled hole) described previously. This fitting is commonly paired with a Pull-Lock® on the opposite end of the run. The Receiver/Pull-Lock® terminal combination is available in our 1/8” and 3/16” kit offerings.
The Invisiware® Receiver with Push-Lock® Stud combination is an exposed, swageless, tensioning, through-the-post-mounted fitting that is suitable for level runs only, and is available for 1/8” and 3/16” diameter 1×19 stainless steel cable.
The Invisiware® Receiver with Push-Lock® Stud can be used with any fitting on the opposite end of the run. This fitting requires that a minimum of 2-1/2” of clearance exists on the back side of the end post to install the Receiver into the post. The Receiver is furnished with a Delrin® washer that is installed between the shoulder of the fitting and the end post to protect the surface of the finish of the end post as tension is applied. The cable attaches to the Push-Lock® Stud fitting via our Push-Lock® locking wedge system which requires no special tools. This fitting was created for applications requiring substantial take-up and a preference for a swageless tensioning fitting.
We do not recommend this fitting being installed in pitched applications because it would require drilling all of the holes in the end post at an angle. While this is possible with special fixtures, if it is not done correctly the end result would be visually unacceptable.
Ultra-Tec Push-Lock Stud
For Wood Posts
The Invisiware® Receiver with Invisiware® Stud combination is a concealed, swaged, tensioning, through-the-post-mounted fitting that is suitable for level or pitched runs, and is available for wood applications for 1/8” and 3/16” diameter 1×19 stainless steel cable. The Invisiware® Receiver with stud can be used with any other fitting on the opposite end of the run. This fitting is placed and concealed within a pre-drilled hole in the wood end post (a minimum of 3” of clearance must exist on the back side of the post to allow installation of the Receiver). We recommend placing a stainless steel flat washer between the fitting shoulder and the mating surface of the wood post (washer sold separately, see bottom of page). The stud is swaged onto one end of the cable and is inserted and threaded into the Receiver installed in the end post. Tension is created by rotating the Receiver (with a hex wrench inserted into its broached end) and drawing the stud into the Receiver.
This fitting can also be used in pitched applications using the same horizontally drilled method for 4×4 wood posts. The same method works for larger posts by installing a post protector tube on the cable exit-to-pitch side of your wood end post (post protector tube sold separately, see below). This fitting is commonly paired with a Pull-Lock® on the opposite end of the run. The Receiver/Pull-Lock® combination is a mainstay of our popular 1/8” and 3/16” kit offerings
