How To Install Balustrade System 

After providing Miami Stainless with your inside to inside post measurements (picture) and receiving your hydraulically swaged wires, you can begin by pre-drilling  7.5mm holes into your end and intermediate posts. To learn how to make a template for drilling holes visit the resource section at miamistainless.com.au.

Use a 6mm hex drive bit to screw in the threaded inserts ensuring left hand inserts are in the left hand post and right hand inserts are in the right hand post. 

Insert the right hand swage stud into the right hand threaded insert just enough for it to hold. Pass the opposite end of the wire through any intermediate posts and repeat with the left hand post.

Tension both ends of the wire evenly using a ProRig c-spanner then lock in place by tightening the hex nut. 

Repeat until all of your sections are complete.
