Description

This Balustrade Tension Gauge is designed to be used to check the tension of installed cable (wire rope) in a Balustrade. A Tension Gauge works with both manually and hydraulically swaged fittings.  These are hand tools you should probably have hanging around to make sure the job is done RIGHT!

The Low Cost Wire Tension Gauge is what you need to ensure that your wires are properly tightened – its  actually a technical process – you don’t just hook them up and twist and hope… Conversely, this gauge is NOT suitable for checking the rigging on a yacht of ANY size.

The Balustrade Rigging Tension Gauge is an easy to use tool that allows the user to determine the amount of tension on each wire.  The matrix table on the gauge – and the interpretation table provided with the gauge – matches the tension and spacing required as per NCC regulations making it perfect for installing and planning future wire balustrade projects.
