National Mfg N283-861 3/16 in Aluminum Ferrules Stops 2 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N283-861 is a 2-pack of aluminum ferrules and stops designed for use with 3/16-inch non-coated steel cable. These components secure cable ends and form reliable loops in rigging, fencing, and structural cable applications. Each pack contains 2 ferrules and 2 stops. The safe working load is 740 pounds per loop when 2 ferrules are used. Installation requires that these ferrules be used exclusively on 3/16-inch non-coated steel cable. The aluminum construction keeps weight low while providing adequate grip strength for light to medium-duty cable termination tasks.

These ferrules and stops are suited for residential and light commercial applications where 3/16-inch non-coated steel cable is used. Typical uses include cable railing systems, guy-wire anchoring, clothesline tensioning, fencing, and general rigging work. They are commonly installed by contractors, fence installers, and maintenance professionals. The carded packaging makes jobsite organization straightforward, and the 2-pack format covers a single cable loop termination with the correct hardware count.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a proper swaging tool or ferrule crimping tool to compress ferrules securely onto the cable. Never exceed the stated safe working load of 740 pounds per loop using 2 ferrules. Inspect crimped ferrules before placing the assembly under load. These ferrules are not rated for overhead lifting applications unless the specific rigging system has been independently load-rated.
