We've been shiping these polished flathead terminals for cable railing systems for years now, and what they basically do is provide a clean, secure termination point for stainless steel wire, especially in setups where you don't want a bulky fitting sticking out—the flat head sits flush and gives that modern look most architects want in their designs.
They come in 304 or 316 stainless, with the 316 being your go-to for marine stuff because it handles salt spray way better, and we stock sizes from 3mm up to 8mm in both metric and UNF threads, though most buyers go with the 5mm or 6mm for standard railing work (usually 3-4 weeks lead time on bulk orders of 500 pieces or so).
These terminals also handle architectural and indutrial applications just fine, but honestly, they're not the best choice for structural loads where you need serious clamping force, since the flathead design trades a bit of grip strength for that clean profile better suited to tensioned cable systems on decks or interior railings.
For ordering, we offer CAD drawings for design support if you email us, and we do OEM services with your branding on the packaging if that matters—pricing drops noticeably over 1000 units, so give or take 15-20% off the unit price for volume orders, but always confirm lead time since we usually have 304 in stock but 316 can take an extra week.
A detail that often catches buyers off guard is the polishing marks on the underside of head if they're going for a mirror finish top and bottom, but the face you see is highly polished and matches the nickel white color well enough for most commercail jobs, and we have SGS and TUV certifications on request if your compliance team needs that paper trail.
Yes, we supply both 304 and 316 grades. The 316 grade costs about 15-20% more due to its higher corrosion resistance for marine use.
For standard sizes like 6mm, our MOQ is 500 pieces. For custom sizes or OEM orders, it's 1,000 pieces per specification.
Yes, we include SGS or TUV certification reports with every batch. Just let us know which one you need when placing the order.
For a standard order of 8mm terminals, lead time is 15-20 working days. Rush orders can be arranged in 10-12 days if needed.
Absolutely, we can produce both coarse and fine UNF threads. Send us your CAD drawing or thread specs, and we'll match it exactly.
