INSTALLATION GUIDE
Reference installation steps for the model family.
The reference sequence applies within MR-08, MR-18, MR-28. Hole size, thread specification and tool size must follow the approved specification for the selected cable diameter and project configuration.
End functions and project configurations
An Ending secures a cable end without tension adjustment. A Tensioner provides the adjustment for tensioning the run. Ending + Tensioner and Tensioner + Tensioner are both possible configurations, selected for the actual installation and compatible components.
Swageless and Swage describe the cable connection, not the number of tensioning ends. Push-in locking does not replace final tensioning.
Standard model layouts are reference configurations, not a requirement to buy one fixed pair. MR.RAIL reviews standardized products, compatible component combinations and project-specific customization. Confirm the cable, post interfaces, adjustment access, exact components and quantities before ordering.
Mark aligned cable locations and fasten the surface-mount bases to the posts.
Measure and cut the matching cable after confirming fitting position.
Insert both cable ends fully into the Swage sections.
Confirm cable length, permanently crimp both Swage ends, then complete final tensioning.
Hydraulic crimping tool, cable cutter, drill or driver, wrench, pliers and suitable driver bit.
Model documentation and selection
Confirm the exact model, cable construction and diameter before ordering. The selected manual and approved project design govern installation; this page is not a structural or code-compliance certificate.
