Course Description: AEC Daily: Preserve the View with Cable Railing Assemblies
Cable railings are a beautifully minimalist way to meet safety requirements without obstructing the view. Learn how to assemble a commercial-grade cable railing with sophisticated fittings engineered to simplify installation, comply with building codes, and reduce overall labor costs.
Explain the code requirements that pertain to stainless steel cable railing assemblies to ensure safety, paying particular attention to the 4-inch sphere rule and the restrictions on horizontal infill.
Identify important design options for both wood and metal railing frames that ensure they are structurally sound and will support the tension of properly installed cables.
Classify essential cable assembly components, such as fixed ends and tension adjustment fittings, as well as options for custom cable assemblies.
Describe the installation process for prefabricated cable kits and custom cable assemblies and discuss how to determine the best choice of cable for a railing project.
