Low-Friction Create-Your-Own Push/Pull Control Cables
A splined core limits contact points on the cable’s liner, so the core slides back and forth smoothly and keeps the cable from twisting. Pair these cables with a knob or lever (not included) to operate valves, throttle controls, and HVAC damper controls from a distance. They're flexible for weaving around obstructions.
Clamp-mount cables have threaded fittings on both ends and a grooved body for mounting with strap clamps or U-bolts.
Panel-mount cables are also known as bulkhead mount cables. They have threaded fittings with hex nuts and washers at each end for mounting through a panel.

Pull Control Cables
Similar to the brake cable on a bicycle, these cables exert pulling force so you can control components such as latches, release valves, and brakes. When you relax your pull, springs in your component pull the cable back. To connect these cables, anchor them on both ends through a panel or bulkhead using the included nuts. They have a steel core, but they’re flexible so you can weave them around obstacles and corners to connect to hard-to-reach components. Surrounding the cable is a plastic cover that stays in place as the cable slides through smoothly. The cover is durable and protects the cable from dirt and abrasion.
Once they’re connected, control these cables using a knob or handle. Some come with a knob attached, but add your own otherwise.

Rotary Control Cables
Transmit rotary motion to operate valves, throttle controls, and HVAC damper controls. These cables are flexible, so you can weave them around obstructions to manipulate controls from a distance. They have a D-profile shaft on one end for installing a manual control knob and a set screw on the other end for securing to a shaft. Push the male end of the shaft through a panel cutout and secure with locknuts.
Cables with a plastic cover protect the core from bending. The cover also helps to prevent injury from the rotating cable.
Cables with sleeve bearings last longer than cables without them because the bearings support the connection between the coupling and core.
