316 Grade Stainless Steel: Also known as “Marine Grade” as it contains Molybdenum to resist the corrosive affects of NaCI or salt in sea water. 316 Stainless Steel offers better corrosion than 304 Stainless Steel for those projects in coastal locations. Although it is not completely rust proof the alloy is more corrosion resistant than other common stainless steels.

What is Electropolished? – This finish results in a smoother, shinier and brighter surface finish as well as enhancing the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel.

We also have this in our economy range, available here.

Do I need any special tools?

Recommended Tools For Installation: Balustrade Multi Tool

What size and type of stainless steel wire do I use? This method is recommended for use with 3.2mm 1 x 19 – 316-grade stainless steel wire rope. This wire is the most functional for stainless steel wire balustrade systems due to its bright surface finish, attractive appearance, durability, strength, and low stretch. To ensure a high-quality finish to your balustrade, we recommend the use of ultra high-quality ProRig wires.

What spacing do I need between my balustrade wires? When using 3.2mm 1 x 19 stainless steel wire, you will usually need 80mm spacing (usually 11 runs) between your wires when using a standard one (1) meter high handrail (960mm to the underside) with 1200-1500mm post spacing. This is only a general guide, please visit our regulation section for detailed information on the current NCC Regulations.

Can I use this balustrade system on a stair or angled section? Yes, the Pro-rod set system can be used on a stair or angled sections as long as the Threaded Inserts are inserted into your timber posts at the same angle as the stair or ramp section. Please note: It is recommended you prepare a drilling jig to assist with drilling your pilot hole.

What size pilot hole should I drill for my Threaded Inserts? You will require a 9.5mm hole to a depth of at least 40mm. Countersink the hole using a CSK – 121/2 INCH Quick bit countersink bit to allow the thread inserts to sit flush with your posts.

What is the maximum length run I can do? Maximum run length can be 10 meters. Tension rods can be used on each end to achieve longer runs. Please contact your supplier for recommendations prior to ordering.

What size hole should I drill through my intermediate posts? A 4mm hole through your intermediate posts will allow the wire rope to pass through. Please note: If you are using grommets, the required drill size is 11/32″ at a depth of at least 10mm from each side.

Can I use this system if I have timber posts? Yes.

Can I use this system if I have metal posts? Yes, you will need to swap out the wood screws for metal screws.
