HOW TO INSTALL STAIR CABLE RAIL TREX SIGNATURE ® X-SERIES ™

Installing Long Cables into Push-to-Connect Fittings and Tensioning Cables

IMPORTANT NOTE: »

If installing X-Series Cable Rail near saltwater environ- ments, spray a small amount of WD-40 Specialist® Corrosion Inhibitor in the open end of the PTC fit- ting before inserting the cable. Do this IMMEDIATELY before inserting the cable to prevent dirt and dust from collecting inside the fitting. Use caution not to get this on the decking surface! Protect decking from drips and runs.
