FAQ About This Method

 

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 Insert Swage Stud System arrives at your door pre-made from our factory, you will only require common handyman tools such as an electric drill, a 7.5mm drill bit and a 6mm hex head drive bit. You can purchase an optional ProRig Multi Tool for easier installation.

 

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 Insert Swage Stud System can be used on a stair or angled section by using the Easy Angle Fittings at each end to allow the wires to pivot to your required angle.

 

What size pilot hole should I drill for my Threaded Inserts? You will require a 7.5mm pilot hole into pine and an 8mm hole into hardwood to a depth of at least 35mm. Finish off the pilot hole with a counter sinking bit to allow the Threaded Inserts to sit flush with your posts.

 

What is the maximum length run I can do? The Insert Swage Stud System can easily span up to 10 meters. Longer swage studs can be used to achieve runs up to 16 meters. 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" at a depth of at least 10mm from each side.

 

Can I take my balustrade wire around corners? It is not possible with this system to take the balustrade wire around corners.

 

Can I use this method if I have timber posts? Yes.

 

Can I use this method if I have metal posts? No, however the ProRig Original Design Nutsert Swage Stud System suits metal posts.  You can find out more about the Nutsert Swage Stud System by clicking the link above.
