Cable Lacing Needle by RDI
What It Is
The Cable Lacing Needle by RDI is a specialized tool designed to help installers thread 1/8" stainless steel cable through the drilled holes of cable railing posts, especially for the RDI Avalon cable railing system. It makes the threading process cleaner and much easier.
Key Features
- Purpose-Built Tool: Helps guide cable ends through post holes without snagging, fraying, or splaying the cable.
- Improves Installation: Reduces installation time and effort because you don’t have to force the bare cable directly through openings.
- Reusable Accessory: Designed to slip onto the cable end and reuse on multiple cable runs.
- Two Style Options: Usually available in level (straight) or corner (angled) versions to accommodate different post orientations.
- Durable Material: Often made from brass or similar sturdy material to avoid bending or breakage during use.
Typical Use Case
When installing cable infill in a railing system like RDI Avalon, the installer places this tool over the end of the cable and pushes it through the post holes. Its smooth shape and narrow profile prevent the cable strands from catching on the edges inside the post. Make lacing your 1/8" stainless cable a breeze.
