Seismic Cable Sway Bracing Kits are available with two cables (2-way brace) or with four cables (4-way brace) and completed with factory-installed stake eye fittings that are permanently attached, as well as the zinc-plated oval sleeves needed to swage the loose end of the cables.
Kits are available in #GO3 (GOLD), #OR4 (ORANGE), #GR6 (GREEN), and #BL8 (BLACK) cable sizes. Each cable kit is custom made to the length that is required on the job site.
As extra material, we recommend ordering a small 250 ft. spool of Seismic Bracing Cable and a box of oval sleeves in each of the sizes used on the project. This is a very inexpensive way to continue to hold installation costs down.
These convenient seismic cable sway bracing kits save time at the job site and eliminate the need for the hand fabrication of each seismic sway brace.
