S.I.A.P Installation instructions.

Start buy cutting a length of cable (estimate route,
measure and cut. Leave a couple inches for the loops). Then slide (1) cable clamp and small piece of shrink tube up the cable out of the way. Place the cable through the hole on the side of the M-LOK anchor point and loop the end back through the cable clamp.

Shorten the loop down to roughly the size shown below. Make sure the short end is sticking out of the clamp at least 1mm to ensure a solid connection.

Using your choice of crimping tools (1mm wire rope crimper is recommended), or if in the field, your favorite multitool, crimp the clamp shown below.*(see note below). Once crimping is complete, slide a small length of the shrink tube provided in the kit, down over the clamp. Apply heat with a heat gun until the tubing is securely wrapped around the clamp. This will protect your rail and eliminate any sound of metal on metal during movement.

That’s it! Repeat these steps on the SI you are anchoring, attach both to your rail**(see note below), route the cable through your cable management system and you are secured!

Note:
*Crimping the clamp does not take much force, and you only need to crimp enough to barely transform the clamp.


** Torque for MLOK nut is 35lbs-in for metal handguards (NOT FT-LBS!). Excessive torque can result in failure. HULK smash not required!
