Jaw Swage Bottlescrew System for Metal 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 metal posts simply insert the right hand threaded and Blind Nut Rivets, or Nutserts, into your metal posts, screw in the Eye Bolts, attach the pre-swaged fittings at the end of each wire by siding the pin through the Eye Bolt and create tension by rotating the Bottlescrew using a ProRig C-Spanner.

How To Install Balustrade System 

1. Mark out and pre-drill all holes at the required size and spacing. Drill 6mm holes on the inside face of the post that will receive the flip toggle and a 10mm hole on the opposite end post that will receive the blind nut rivets and eye bolts. Drill 7.5mm holes in all intermediate posts.

2. Using an HN-02 Nut Rivet Tool insert a blind nut rivet into the 10mm hole and screw an eye bolt into the rivet.

3. Insert the flip toggle and swage terminal into the 6mm pre-drilled hole. Pull the wire to flip the toggle and lock the wire into place.

4. Remove the bottlescrew from the swage stud on the opposite end of the wire and pass through any intermediate posts. Reattach the bottlescrew and unscrew the body so that approximately 20mm is showing on both the left and right threads. This will allow you to remove the pin and place the bottlescrew on your eye bolt. If this is still not long enough, simply unscrew the bottlescrew more. Re-attach all the pins to lock in fittings.

5. With all your wires now attached you will be required to tension them. To tighten them simply turn your bottlescrew. This can be easily achieved using a ProRig Multi Tool. For accurate and consistent tension you will require a tension gauge, however you can measure the tension by a deflection test.
