How do I install a rope into the cup end?

Troubleshooting

Rope feels loose after installation

Ensure the centre screw is fully tightened. Check that the rope is centered and that a pilot hole was made through the rope for the screw to grip effectively.

Screws do not seem to grip the rope

Verify that you are using the correct size rope (32mm) for the fitting. Ensure a pilot hole was made through the rope to allow the screw to penetrate and hold.

Fitting does not align with pre-drilled holes

Adjust the position of the initial three fixing screws slightly. If using on a deck, ensure the pilot holes are drilled correctly for the screws.

Finish appears to be tarnishing

While brass has good corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh elements may affect the finish over time. Clean with a soft cloth. For significant tarnishing, consult a brass care guide for appropriate cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions:

  1. Screw the three provided fixing screws into your desired location.
  2. Remove the centre screw from the cup end.
  3. Insert your 32mm rope into the cup.
  4. Using a 5mm engineering screwdriver, create a pilot hole through the rope where the centre screw will go.
  5. Re-insert the centre screw and use a screwdriver to tighten it, securing the rope within the fitting.

Compatibility:

These fittings are specifically designed to fit RopeServices UK decking ropes from 24mm up to 40mm diameter. While they are designed for a 32mm rope, ensure your rope diameter is precise for the best fit. Compatibility with non-RopeServices UK ropes may vary.

Care:

To maintain the antique brass finish, wipe the fittings periodically with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
