	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** There are three ways to specify the cabling for CLEARVIEW Stainless Steel Cable Railing Systems. OPTION 1: The cable comes in rolls of approximately 100 feet. You will need cable cutters and a crimper to attach the fittings to the ends. Cutters and crimpers are available for rent or purchase through AGS. OPTION 2: The cable comes in lengths approximately six inches longer than required for their designated run. This allows for easier handling and sorting. A fitting is attached at one end. You will need to trim the cable and attach one fitting. Cutter and Crimper are required. OPTION 3: The cable comes cut to length with the fittings attached at both ends. No cutter or crimper is required UNLESS you have a stair run. Because stair fittings are bent, they will not pass through the holes in the intermediate posts. For this reason, stair cable runs can only be delivered as option 1 or option 2.

		A.	Install cable railing system plumb, level, and true and in accordance with manufacturer's written instructions and recommendations.
		B.	Do not tighten the cables more than what is necessary to eliminate any sag.
		C.	Fastening to Adjacent Construction: Provide anchorage devices and fittings to secure to in-place construction; including threaded fittings for concrete inserts, toggle bolts and through-bolts. Separate dissimilar materials with bushings, grommets or washers to prevent electrolytic corrosion.
		D.	Do not cut components, except for cable as required for installation, or abrade component finishes. Field touch-up of finishes are not acceptable. Return components with damaged finishes to shop for required alterations, followed by complete refinishing or provide new components.
		E.	Secure mounting brackets to building structure in a positive manner using manufacturer recommended reinforcement and anchorage methods for substrate conditions. Locate brackets and hardware at spacing required to support structural loads.
		F.	Installation cable railing system rigid and secure, installed by mechanics experienced in erection of architectural metal. All screws and fittings shall be drawn up tightly. Rails shall be set plumb and aligned.
