The Adjust-A-Body® with Threaded Eye is a swaged, tensioning, face-of-the-post-mounted fitting that can be used on level or pitched runs. This fitting is available for 1/8”, 3/16”, and 1/4” diameter 1×19 stainless steel cable.
The Adjust-A-Body® with Threaded Eye can be used with any fitting on the opposite end of the run. This fitting attaches to the wood end post by installing a Lag Eye into a pre-drilled hole in the end post and attaching the threaded eye portion of the fitting to the lag eye with a button head screw. The cable is retained within the body portion of the fitting by a ferrule swaged onto the end of the cable. The lock nut is installed all the way onto the threaded eye first, followed by the body, which is secured onto the eye, creating tension on the cable. Once sufficient tension is achieved, the lock nut is secured against the end of the body to prevent the fitting from loosening.
While this fitting can be used on pitched or level runs, it is most appropriate for pitched runs because the threaded eye portion of the fitting pivots at the lag eye. The pre-drilled hole for the lag eye is drilled level, making installation easy.
Use of this fitting requires an appropriately sized ferrule that is swaged onto the cable, which must also be purchased separately.

The Adjust-A-Body® with Hanger Bolt is a swaged, tensioning, face-of-the-post-mounted fitting that is recommended for level runs only. This fitting is available for 1/8”, 3/16”, and 1/4” diameter 1×19 stainless steel cable.
The Adjust-A-Body® with Hanger Bolt can be used with any fitting on the opposite end of the run. The lag thread of the hanger bolt portion of the fitting is driven into a pre-drilled hole in the wood end post. The cable is retained within the body portion of the fitting by a ferrule swaged onto the end of the cable. The lock nut is installed onto the hanger bolt first, followed by the body, which is secured onto the hanger bolt, creating tension on the cable. Once sufficient tension is achieved, the lock nut is secured against the end of the body to prevent the fitting from loosening.
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.
Use of this fitting requires an appropriately sized ferrule swaged onto the cable, which must be purchased separately.

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” and 3/16”, 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 Clip-On Fixed Jaw is externally a duplicate of the Fixed Jaw and is only available for 1/8” and 3/16” diameter 1×19 stainless steel cable.
The Clip-On Fixed Jaw was created for applications that called for factory swaged fittings on both ends of the cable, without requiring over-sized holes through the intermediate posts (so an entire Fixed Jaw could pass through). This fitting accomplishes that with a .250” diameter ferrule that is pre-swaged to the cable. Once the cable with just a ferrule swaged to it is run through the intermediate posts to the end post to which it will attach, the jaw is slipped onto the cable over the ferrule and the clip installed at the ferrule. The jaw then slides back against the clip, which prevents the fitting from coming off the cable.
This fitting attaches to the wood end post by installing a Lag Eye into a pre-drilled hole in the end post and attaching the Clip-On Fixed Jaw to the lag eye with a button head screw. Lag eye and screw sold separately.
Use of this fitting requires an appropriately sized ferrule that is swaged onto the cable, which must also be purchased separately.

The Fixed Jaw is an exposed, swaged, non-tensioning, face-of-the-post-mounted fitting that is suitable for use on level or pitched runs and is available for 1/8”, 3/16”, 1/4”, 5/16”, and 3/8” diameter 1×19 stainless steel cable.
The Fixed Jaw must be used with a tensioning fitting on the opposite end of the run. This fitting attaches to the wood end post by installing a Lag Eye into a pre-drilled hole in the end post and attaching the Fixed Jaw to the lag eye with a button head screw. The cable is retained within the Fixed Jaw by a ferrule swaged onto the end of the cable.
While this fitting can be used on pitched or level runs, it is most appropriate for pitched runs because the Fixed Jaw pivots at the lag eye. The pre-drilled hole for the lag eye is drilled level, making installation easy.
Use of this fitting requires an appropriately sized ferrule that is swaged onto the cable, which must also be purchased separately. This fitting was designed to be compatible in appearance to the Adjust-A-Jaw® tensioning fitting.

The Invisiware® Radius Ferrule is a concealed, swaged, non-tensioning, through-the-post-mounted fitting that is suitable for pitched or level runs. This fitting is available for 1/8” and 3/16” diameter 1×19 stainless steel cable.
The Invisiware® Radius Ferrule must be used with a tensioning fitting on the opposite end of the run. It is the least expensive through-the-post fitting that we offer. This fitting has a head shaped to appear like the Invisiware® Receiver from the outside of the post (like the Receiver, the Radius Ferrule is concealed within the post). For these two reasons it is recommended to use the Invisiware® Radius Ferrule on one end of your cable run and an Invisiware® Receiver with stud on the opposite end whenever practical to do so. The only reason not to consider this fitting as your non-tensioning end would be if you preferred to use a swageless solution.
This fitting installs into a hole drilled through the face of the post (to accommodate the cable at minimum) and a hole through the back side of the post to accommodate the fitting. It also requires that you have at least 2” of clearance on the back side of your end post so you have enough workspace to feed the rest of the cable through the post prior to pulling the Radius Ferrule into its final position. (The cable would likely be attached to the Radius Ferrule prior to installing it through the back side of the post). We recommend using a stainless steel flat washer between the shoulder of the fitting and the mating surface of the wood post.
You can use this fitting on a pitched application by installing
a post protector tube into the face of the post where the cable exits at an angle. The post protector tube protects the face of the post from abrasion and furrowing as the cable is tensioned. The post protector tube is sold separately.

The Invisiware® Receiver with Invisiware® Stud combination is a concealed, swaged, tensioning, through-the-post-mounted fitting.
The Invisiware® Receiver with stud can be used with any fitting on the opposite end of the run. The receiver is placed and concealed within a pre-drilled hole in the wood end post (a minimum of 3” of clearance between the back side of the post and a structure is required 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.
The stud is swaged onto one end of the cable and is inserted and screwed 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. This fitting is commonly paired with a Pull-Lock® on the opposite end of the run.

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. We recommend using a stainless steel flat washer between the fitting shoulder and the mating surface of your wood post. 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.

The Invisiware® Stud is a concealed, swaged, non-tensioning, inside-the-post-mounting fitting that is suitable for use on level or pitched runs and is available for 1/8”, 3/16”, 1/4”, 5/16”, and 3/8” diameter 1×19 stainless steel cable.
The Invisiware® Stud can be used as a non-tensioning end in level or pitched applications. It is swaged onto one end of the cable and threaded into a drilled and tapped hole in the face of the post (1/4” wall thickness minimum). This fitting would typically be paired with an Invisiware® Receiver and Stud tensioning fitting on the opposite end. This method of using an Invisiware® Stud as a non-tensioning end is restricted to interior applications.
