CFS432_F Seismic Wire Rope Cable
Product Information
The product is a sway brace that is designed to be installed in
accordance with NFPA-13 and the manufacturer’s installation
instructions. It has a certified minimum break strength and is used
for providing horizontal earthquake load resistance. The product
consists of cables, spools, sleeves (ferrules), and fasteners.
Cable, Spools
The cable is inserted through a sleeve (ferrule) to create a
loop. The sleeve (ferrule) needs to be swaged using a swaging tool,
such as CSB3346SB, CSB13SBHS, CSBBS121836, CSB48, or CSBHS02. The
number of swages needed per cable size should be referred to the
tool manufacturer’s instructions.
Cable, Kit with Universal Restraint Clip
This kit includes a cable with a universal restraint clip. The
cable is inserted through a sleeve (ferrule) to create a loop. The
sleeve (ferrule) needs to be swaged using a swaging tool, such as
CSB3346SB, CSB12SBHS, CSB48, CSBBS121836, or CSBHS02. The number of
swages needed per cable size should be referred to the tool
manufacturer’s instructions. A fastener with a washer is then
inserted through the fastener hole and tightened to the
structure.
Product Usage Instructions
- For specific project installation information, application of
allowable breaking strengths, horizontal earthquake load
resistance, brace locations, fastener details, related strengths,
applied load modulus of elasticity, and % of elongation, contact

- Ensure that all nVent product instruction sheets and training
materials are followed for proper and safe installation and
performance. - Never use nVent products for a purpose other than their
intended design or in a manner that exceeds specified load
ratings. - Products that are manufactured using spring steel components
should only be used in a non-corrosive indoor environment. - Pipe supports, hangers, intermediate components, and structural
attachments must only be used as described in the instruction sheet
and should never be used for any other purpose. - nVent reserves the right to change specifications without prior
notice.

INSTRUCTION SHEET
Certified Minimum Break Strength
The Seismic Wire Rope/Cable, contained in this shipment, has been pre-stretched according to the requirements of the ASCE -19 Standard for “Structural Applications of Steel Cables for Buildings”. The bracing assemblies contained in this shipment consist of the color-coded galvanized (zinc coated) or stainless steel seismic wire rope/cable, fixed ends (if any) which are factory attached thereto and accompanying field connection sleeves (ferrules) and fittings. These components are hereby certified to maintain the referenced minimum breaking strengths, when properly installed, utilizing a properly maintained swaging tool (nVent part number CSB3346SB, 402209, CSB12SBHS, 404461, CSB48, 402212, CSBBS121836, 402534, CSBHS02 or 402214), as further detailed herein and in the swager installation instructions.
Note: For specific project installation information on, or application of, allowable breaking strengths, horizontal earthquake load resistance, brace locations, as well as fastener details, related strengths, applied load modulus of elasticity and % of elongation, contact nVent technical support.
Sway braces are intended to be installed in accordance with NFPA -13 and the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
