National Mfg N283-879 1/4 Inch Aluminum Ferrules Stops 2 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N283-879 is a 2-pack of 1/4-inch aluminum ferrules and stops designed for use with 1/4-inch non-coated steel cable. Each pack contains 2 ferrules and 2 stops, providing everything needed to complete a secure loop termination. These components are rated for a safe working load of 1,220 pounds per loop when 2 ferrules are used together. Installation requires the correct ferrule size matched to the cable diameter — these ferrules are intended exclusively for 1/4-inch non-coated steel cable and must not be used on coated cable. Trade professionals rely on these fittings for reliable, load-rated cable terminations in structural and rigging applications.

The N283-879 ferrules and stops are suited for residential and light commercial cable rigging applications where 1/4-inch non-coated steel cable is the specified medium. Typical uses include cable railing systems, tie-down assemblies, and other tensioned cable configurations requiring a secure, loop-terminated end. The aluminum construction keeps the fittings lightweight while maintaining the rated load capacity. The carded 2-pack format is convenient for field service and small-quantity repair jobs.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use exclusively with 1/4-inch non-coated steel cable. Do not use on coated cable or cable diameters other than 1/4 inch.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified riggers, contractors, or experienced tradespeople using a proper ferrule swaging tool — never substitute crimping pliers or improvised tools, as an improperly set ferrule will not achieve the rated load. Always verify the cable is non-coated and measures 1/4 inch before selecting these ferrules. Do not exceed the stated safe working load of 1,220 pounds per loop. Inspect completed terminations for proper seating before applying load.
