Secondary Heading If you have a home at a certain elevation, one thing you’re always trying to protect is your spectacular view. You may be willing to cut down trees and negotiate with neighbors in order to take in the beautiful landscape without issue, so why would you choose a railing system for your deck or balcony that obstructs your line of sight in any way? Forget wood and glass. If you want a railing system for your home that will serve its purpose yet be practically invisible, you want a stainless cable railing system. Cable railings have emerged as a popular choice in recent years, for both homeowners and commercial property owners. There is no simpler way to enhance the visual appeal of a deck, balcony, or even a garden. Cable railings have long been used in commercial buildings, like hotels, malls, and airports because of their clear, understated design, low-maintenance, longstanding durability, and affordability. For these reasons, homeowners are also incorporating cable railings into decking and other projects, but, there are other major benefits of cable railing which shouldn’t be overlooked.

quick lock fittings The designs main function is the locking systems. It uses jaws with rigged teeth to grab hold of the wire and locks them in place by screwing in the fitting.
Each individual jaw has numerous rigged teeth on the inside surface. When combined, the 3 section jaw has an immense gripping power.
Ram Tail offers an assortment of fittings to suit any application
As tension is applied to the cable, the jaws are pulled against the inside of the cone shaped terminal. Due to the cone design the jaws react to the force by contracting, resulting in a greater grip on the cable. The beauty of this design is that it allows the cables to be easily tightened when necessary.

Building codes that apply to cable rail systems are determined by the International Build Code. https://law.resource.org/pub/us/code/ibr/icc.ibc.2009.pdf
The most important thing to remember is that a 4” sphere must not be able to fit between the cables. We highly recommend using a 3” spacing.
U.S. Codes The IRC 2006 Edition requires a (36 in [91.44 cm] minimum height) guard on open sides of porches, balconies, ramps, or raised floor surfaces that are located more than 30 in (76.2 cm) above the floor or grade below. Guards are required to have intermediate rails or ornamental closures that do not allow passage of a sphere 4 in (10 cm) or larger in diameter. The IRC 2000 Edition, International One- and Two-Family Dwelling Code 1998 Edition, and BOCA National Building Code 1998 Edition had an additional requirement prohibiting the design and construction of guards such that, “horizontal rails or other ornamental pattern results in a ladder effect.” The codes did not provide guidance, specification or definition of “ladder effect.” Subsequent editions beginning with IRC 2003 Edition does not have the term “ladder effect” as a criterion for barriers. http://www.csjohnson.com/PDF/NOMMA_Guardrail_Study.pdf
