National Mfg N283-846 Aluminum Ferrules Stops 1/16 in 2pk

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N283-846 is a two-pack of aluminum ferrules and stops designed for use with 1/16 inch non-coated steel cable. Each pack contains 2 ferrules and 2 stops, providing the hardware needed to terminate or loop small-diameter steel cable in a variety of light-duty rigging and cable management applications. The safe working load is 90 pounds per loop when using 2 ferrules. These ferrules are aluminum construction and are compatible only with 1/16 inch non-coated steel cable — coated cable is not an acceptable application. The pack is carded for retail or shop storage.

These ferrules and stops are used in residential and light commercial settings where small-diameter steel cable requires a secure loop or end termination. Typical applications include cable railings, wire rope assemblies, clothesline rigging, and general hardware installations where a compact, reliable crimp-style termination is needed. Installers should confirm cable diameter and coating status before selecting ferrule size, as mismatched components reduce load capacity and can result in cable slip.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed with a hand swaging tool or crimping pliers sized for 1/16 inch ferrules. Before crimping, confirm the cable is non-coated and matches the 1/16 inch diameter specification. Never exceed the stated safe working load of 90 pounds per loop when using 2 ferrules. Inspect finished crimps for proper seating before applying load.
