WAGNERAIL SYSTEM
OVERVIEW OF FEATURES Railing frame components can be specified in a variety of materials: steel and stainless steel pipe; stainless steel flat bar; structural tubing; and wood. Please note that the Ultra-tec® Cable Railing System is not recommended for use with aluminum pipe or tube. Type 316 stainless steel cable and hardware are used. Due to the increased amounts of nickel and the addition of molybdenum, type 316 stainless steel has excellent resistance to atmospheric and corrosive conditions. Ultra-tec's® exclusive Invisiware® hardware is hidden inside the end posts making it virtually invisible. We also offer hardware that is visible when installed but with smooth, rounded corners. More compact than awkward turnbuckles intended for other uses, all hardware has been designed specifically for pedestrian cable railings. All Ultra-tec® Cable Railing System hardware can be swaged in the field by using one of our portable swaging tools. Swaging in the field permits intermediate post and braces to be bored just slightly larger than the diameter of the cable being used since only the cable will have to pass through. If purchased pre-swaged, the intermediate posts and braces have to be bored to allow for the larger diameter of the swaged fitting to pass through the intermediate post or brace. If desired, fittings can be swaged onto one or both of the cable ends at the factory. New Ultra-tec Push-Lock fittings simplify installation – requiring only one end be preswaged with a tensioner and the other end field cut and assembled. By using our pre-tensioning tool, runs of up to 150 feet and longer can be achieved while maintaining tight cable tension using Ultra-tec® hardware. Refer to installation instructions on page 259 to 271.
BRASS / SS FITTINGS
Note: Due to the effects of thermal expansion and contraction, maximum run for exterior railings is 100 feet.
The Ladder Effect The 2000 International Residential Code (IRC) stated that guardrails shall not be constructed with horizontal members or other ornamental pattern that results in a ladder effect. The ladder effect has never been a part of the International Building Code (IBC). The ladder effect was removed from the IRC during the 2001 code cycle and it was noted in the 2001 IRC supplement. The current 2006 IRC and IBC contain no reference to the ladder effect. However, many local code authorities are using older codes based on BOCA – the creator of the ladder effect wording – and the 2000 IRC. Many local code inspectors are not aware of the 2001 change and may reject guardrailings with infills they interpret as creating a ladder effect.
www.wagnercablerailing.com Ultra-tec® Cable Railing System was created to address the deficiencies encountered in using standard tensioning mechanisms for cable barrier railings – sharp edges on retainers; long, bulky fittings; and uneven, hand-crimped shanks. Standard marine turnbuckles and stud fittings with exposed nuts and threads were the norm because that was all that was available – until now.
Railing styles shown in the Ultra-tec® Design & Fabrication Guide for Metal Framed Railings – available online – are made available to design professionals and steel fabricators. The guide is useful in designing a properly constructed cable railing. It highlights attractive pre-engineered metal frame styles that utilize standard off the shelf materials. Included are drawings and specifications that will ensure that the frame will perform successfully when all cables are properly tensioned.
Exclusive Ultra-tec® Cable Railing Hardware is designed especially for cable railings. Invisiware® terminals can be concealed within the railing end post. These precision machined Type 316 stainless steel fittings are engineered to interface with standard frame components detailed in our Design & Fabrication Guide for Metal Framed Railings. Ultra-tec® railing hardware can be factory swaged by us or field swaged by the customer, using an Ultra-tec® portable swaging tool. New Push-Lock fittings now make field installation even easier.
A Cable Rail Sample Pack is available at a modest cost. It contains: 3/16" cable; Invisiware® Receiver, Radius Ferrule, Adjust-A-Body® with Hanger Bolt; ClipOn Stop and Fixed Jaw; Fixed Tab Weld Fitting; Weld Receiver, Grommets, and Threaded Tab. Order Part Number CRSAMPLE.
It will take time for the 2001 IRC supplement and the newer 2003 and 2006 model codes to trickle down to the local levels. In the meantime, be prepared to address this issue should it come up in your area.

Measuring Cable: The factory can cut cable and swage fittings on cables up to 60 feet in length. To measure cable when ordering pre-cut and swaged cable: • Clearly identify fittings – by part number – that are to be used with the cable. • For Invisiware® Receiver, Radius Ferrule or Clip-On Stop hardware, measure from back side of the post. • For Adjust-A-Jaw®, Adjust-A-BodyTM, Threaded Stud with Welded Receiver or Fixed Jaw hardware, measure from the inside surface of the post . • For Adjust-A-Jaw®, Adjust-A-BodyTM or Fixed Jaw hardware, you may also measure from the center of the mounting hole. • Measure rail as if all are straight from tensioning post to anchor post. If rail is on a slope, measure on the slope. Note: Re-spooling charges apply for orders under 5,000 feet.
ALUMINUM RAILINGS
Other cable constructions can be used, such as 7 × 7 or 7 × 19, but they are rarely recommended because of their elevated levels of stretch and lower breaking strengths in comparison to 1 × 19 construction.

Unlike common turnbuckles, the Adjust-A-Jaw® Tensioner has no sharp edges, no crevices to collect dust and dirt, no large areas of exposed threads or exposed swaged shanks, and nothing that will scratch or snag. See the tabulated drawing to determine how to interface this fitting with your end post, or use our Fixed Tab or Threaded Tab fittings shown on page 51 of this catalog.

ADJUST-A-JAW® TENSIONER – CLEVIS STYLE Type 316 Stainless Steel
Swaged Ferrule Threaded Hole Fixed Jaw
Similar in appearance, the Ultra-Tec® Fixed Jaw is about one-half the price of the clevis-style Adjust-A-Jaw® Tensioner. Where you do not need a tensioner on both ends of the cable run, the economical Ultra-tec® Fixed Jaw is frequently used on the fixed, non-tensioning end of the cable with the clevis-style Adjust-A-Jaw® Tensioner on the tensioning end.

BRASS / SS FITTINGS
The Ultra-tec® Fixed Jaw makes a very attractive fitting where a high-tech look is desired on level runs as well as on pitches. The Invisiware® Swaging Ferrule is swaged onto the cable and holds the cable inside the clevis. See the tabulated drawing to determine how to interface this fitting with your end post, or use our Fixed Tab or Threaded Tab fittings shown on page 51 of this catalog.
Ultra-tec® Clip-on FIXED JAW for pre-swaged cable Type 316 Stainless Steel Same as our regular Ultra-tec® Fixed Jaw, except the cable attaches with a special clip that is installed by hand. All fittings are swaged on the cable at the factory, so no field swaging is required. An Adjust-A-Jaw® or Adjust-A-Body™ style tensioner or Invisiware® Receiver is used on the opposite end. Order using part numbers below and check with the factory to determine cable lengths to be provided with swaged fittings. Available for 1/8" and 3/16" cable only. Refer to Clip-On Stop on page 55.

Cable Grommets are offered for popular cable diameters of 1/8", 3/16" and 1/4". They help prevent rust in exterior applications or elsewhere where moisture is a factor by providing a barrier between the cable and the painted or powder coated surface through which the cable is drawn when being installed.
Washer Stop

For use in posts with cables cut and fittings attached –preswaged – at the factory. No field swaging is required. A special clip and washer secure the Stop to the end post. Used on the non-tensioning end of the cable. An Adjust-A-Jaw®, Adjust-A-Body™ ® or Invisiware Receiver is used on the opposite end to tension the cable. Available for 3/16" and 1/8" diameter cable only. Includes Stop, Washer and Clip. Refer to page 54 for Clip-On Fixed Jaw.

To use cable tubes, clear holes are drilled in the posts to accept these smaller diameter elbows. The cable tubes are then inserted through the holes and welded into place. The cable may now be inserted through the tube providing a uniquely attractive fabrication.
SPIRAL STAIRS BALCONIES
These stylish tube corner sections allow a change in direction without risk of damage to the cables. At the same time, they offer the streamlined look of a continuous piece of cable – that runs through the tube – and eliminates the cost and visual obstruction of additional mounting and tensioning hardware. These corner sections are provided as components: elbows, posts and cable tubes. Each post is custom designed per job requirements with holes pre-drilled to accept cable tubes. Posts can also be provided pre-coped and in various styles and angles. All posts are custom made based on customer provided, detailed shop drawings.

Ultra-tec® Cable Railing Wood Post Mounting
www.wagnercablerailing.com USING ULTRA-TEC® HARDWARE WITH WOOD POSTS
WAGNERAIL SYSTEM
These drawings illustrate some of the ways Ultra-tec® hardware is used in wood end and corner posts. A minimum of a nominal 4 × 4 (31/2" × 31/2" actual) is recommended for any post where cable hardware is mounted. Cables should be spaced on end posts on centers of no more than 3.25", and the cable should be supported in some fashion no more than every 42" along the cable run.
GLASS RAILING
Cables can be cut and fittings swaged in the field using Ultra-tec® swaging equipment – available for rent or purchase. With some hardware, the cable can be cut to customer provided lengths and the fittings swaged on at the factory thus providing ready to install hardware. Go to page 258 for more information on installing Ultra-tec cable rail with wood posts. Invisiware Receiver with Stainless Washer Lag Eye
Clip-On Stop

Cable Support
Cable supports are used to prevent the cable from biting into the wood post – when tensioning – where the cable enters or exits at an angle.
Counter Bore: Drill a counter bored hole to accept the appropriate fitting such that the head lies below the face of the post. Stainless Steel washers – page 58 – are required. They are supplied with the Clip-On Stop but are to be purchased separately for the Invisiware® Receiver and Radius Ferrule.

BUILDING CODES
TECHNICAL INFO
GENERAL INFO
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED Rail Finish If your rail is to be painted, powder coated or otherwise finished in any way, we strongly recommend that you apply the finish after all holes are drilled and prior to stringing the cable. Materials Required If screws for mounting Adjust-A-Jaw™ or Adjust-A-Body™ with Threaded Eye Tensioners and Ultra-tec® Fixed Jaws were not ordered from the factory, you will need one of the following screws for each of these items: In areas prone to tampering, a permanent setting thread sealant is recommended for use with screws.

Installing Cable MEASURING AND INSTALLING CABLE Horizontal Railings, Measuring Cable Lengths If you have ordered your cables cut to length from the factory, you can skip this section on Measuring Cable Length. A. Measure the length of the run from the outside of one terminating end post to the outside of the other terminating end post. Over estimate as shown, when corners are involved. See Figures A & B on next page. Note that Post “A” is always the first end to which hardware is attached. When only one end has a tensioning device (Invisiware® Receiver or AdjustA-Jaw™ Tensioner), that tensioning device is attached to Post “B” and the non-tensioning device is attached to Post “A”. Post “B” is always a tensioning end.

A substantial end post is necessary, to prevent the end post from bending, which will cause the cables to sag. In wood, a minimum 4x4 nominal – 31⁄2" square – end post is required. End posts must be securely fastened to the deck or other surface, to prevent the post from coming loose with the forces applied through the tensioned cables. Support members between end posts are also necessary. In wood, we recommend support members running between posts, such as a 2x4 secured to the inside of each post, so you are not

When the fittings are swaged on at the factory, some fittings are larger in diameter than the size of the holes you want to drill in your intermediate members (posts or cable braces). The fittings illustrated below, however, require relatively small holes in your intermediate members. If the hardware is swaged on at the factory and if the cable will pass through intermediate posts or cable braces, one end of each cable should have one of the following fittings. The holes in your intermediate member will be drilled for the diameter of the swaged fitting passing through the intermediate member as shown in the following illustrations:
