When and Where to use Nixalite Hook & Eye Turnbuckles:

Use at least one turnbuckle on each run of cable.
Do not turn corners of a perimeter cable installation without installing at least one turnbuckle.
Each large eyebolt or screw eye will accept connections from up to 4 small turnbuckles, 3 medium turnbuckles or 2 large turnbuckles.
Use to tension corner support cables used to stabilize fence posts.
Most commonly used with Nixalite’s Tensioned Perimeter Cable Hardware. Can be used with deer and perimeter fencing hardware and any overhead cable grid systems.

Stainless Steel Hook & Eye Turnbuckle Installation Tips:

Always install the turnbuckles at the maximum safe open length. This allows for the most amount of tensioning in the cables.
When fastening cable to the turnbuckles, always make the loop connection to the eye end of the turnbuckle – never to the hook end of the turnbuckle.
Always follow the Cable and Cable Hardware maintenance schedules available from Nixalite of America Inc.
