Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LOCOLOC from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between LOCOLOC PT-1, PT-2, and PT-3 tension gauges?
The LOCOLOC PT-1, PT-2, and PT-3 are aluminum wire rope tension gauges designed for different compatible rope diameters. The PT-1 is for 1/8 in rope, the PT-2 for 1/4 in rope, and the PT-3 for 1/4 in to 3/8 in rope. Each gauge is calibrated for its specific diameter range to provide accurate tension readings. They are not interchangeable across rope sizes.
Are LOCOLOC wire rope studs available in left-hand thread options?
Based on the product range supplied by 3G Electric, LOCOLOC wire rope studs are currently available with right-hand threads only. The studs have external threads and are made from stainless steel. For applications requiring left-hand threads, you may need to consider alternative termination methods or contact 3G Electric for availability.
What materials are LOCOLOC tension gauges made from?
LOCOLOC tension gauges are available in two material options. The PT series (PT-1, PT-2, PT-3) are constructed from aluminum, making them lightweight and corrosion-resistant for general use. The PT-CR model is made from stainless steel, offering higher durability and corrosion resistance, particularly suited for cable railing systems exposed to outdoor or marine environments.
Can LOCOLOC studs be used with any wire rope construction?
LOCOLOC studs are designed for use with wire rope of specific compatible diameters, as indicated by the manufacturer part numbers. They are typically used with 7x7 or 7x19 stainless steel wire rope constructions common in architectural and marine applications. Ensure the rope diameter matches the stud's specification to achieve proper termination and load capacity.
How do I select the correct LOCOLOC tension gauge for my cable railing system?
For cable railing systems, LOCOLOC offers the PT-CR tension gauge, which is made from stainless steel and compatible with rope diameters from 1/8 in to 1/4 in. This gauge is specifically designed for the tension range typical in railing installations. If your system uses a single rope size within that range, the PT-CR is suitable. For other diameters, refer to the PT series gauges.
