Estimating
To estimate accurately SCS will need a perimeter drawing
of your project.
SCS CANNOT BID BY THE LIN/FT!
Please submit a perimeter drawing with the lengths of all
your runs. Please include the estimated number of strands of
cables and the lengths of all your runs.
Please note the size of the cable and fittings that you
prefer.
Carefully read all of the cable,
termination fittings and tensioning
pages.
Ordering
Step 1: Download and fill out the SCS order
form.
Step 2: Select the diameter and construction of the
cable you will be using.
Step 3: Determine your termination posts. Remember,
the cables have to be tensioned to 150 lbs for EACH cable.
Standard cable spacing is three inches on center (You must
not be able to pass a 4 in. code ball through the cables.)
We recommend using 6X6 termination posts or block out 4X4
posts. The deflection of the posts can be dramatic when all
the cables are tensioned. Your posts which lay in the field
do not have to support the cable load.
Step 4: Select the termination/tensioning fittings
of your choice for each run. Place the fitting part
number on the order form. Please download the SCS
catalog. Place the numbers off of the catalog tables onto
the order form in the appropriate slots.
Step 5: Calculate your assembly lengths by the measure
to point (Click on the Picture) on the assembly page.
Measure the length between the termination posts from fitting
to fitting. Note: You are responsible for all measurements.
Remember the old carpenter rule. Measure twice cut once!
Step 6: Count the number of cables . If the cables
are used for infill on handrail they should be spaced three
inches on center. Usually, if you have a top and bottom rail
you will need 8 to 10 assemblies. Each horizontal strand must
be a separate assembly with an termination fitting and a tensioning
fitting. The cable cannot be laced back and forth.
Step 7: Review the nuts and bolts
page and count the nuts, washers, acorn nuts, half balls,
shims etc. you will need. If you are using the hand swage
tensioning terminals
we have tools available for rent for your installation.
