Swage Swage Rigging Screws M6 – 4.0mm G316 Stainless Steel TRADE PACKS

Usage Tips

• Swage Swage Rigging Screws are ideal fasteners for projects splicing or joining stainless steel wire rope.
• The swaged bolts allow these fasteners to easily adjust wire  attached to a saddle or lag screw eye.
• Turnbuckles use both right-hand and left-hand threads. Firstly, these allow the body of the rigging screw to easily provide tension to your wire rope, without bending or stretching the wire.
•  Tighten the body of the rigging screw with a c-spanner by rotating the body clockwise until tensioned to your needs.
• The terminal is never fastened to a saddle or a rigging screw on the posts or uprights that form the frame or area that will contain the wire.
• The rigging screw requires a hydraulic swager to crimp the fitting to the appropriate diameter of wire rope

Installation Considerations

• Matching alloys is important and avoiding cross contamination is very important.
• It is recommended that similar alloy fasteners are used so that a dis similar (corrosive) alloy reaction is avoided. Generally G304 Stainless Steel screws are used in timber (counter sunk screws in soft woods and pan head screws in hard woods). Generally, G304 Stainless Steel Rivets are used to attach fittings to metal surfaces (aluminium, mild steel, and stainless steel).
• It may be necessary to (electrically) isolate and insulate fittings from the substrate material - again to avoid a galvanic (dissimilar alloys) reaction. Nylon washers can be very effective in this regard.
• Additionally, all fittings and tools mentioned: c-spanner and hydraulic swagers are available through our store as well. These Rigging Screws are primarily sized according to the diameter of wire with which they work. Therefore, they are used in concert with other fittings. Consequently with a similar swaging style - these additional fittings work with the same diameter of wire rope.
