How to Use

  1. Attach one end of spring to a terminal insulator. (The P Spring will simply hook over some insulators; for others, you will need to tie the spring to insulators with rope or wire.)
  2. Attach conductor to other end of spring by taking the loose end of conductor and putting it through open end of spring.
  3. Pull conductor until spring is 1/3 to 1/2 compressed.
  4. Run conductor through the loop one more time and tie off.
  5. Whenever conductor becomes loose, repeat above steps.
Tip

When using electrified rope (any of it), use P Springs and RopeLinks. The goal is to have the P Springs half compressed when everything is all put together. However, if you don't have a helper to hold the tension on the rope, you may loose too much tension in the process of getting the RopeLink wrapped around the rope.

Solution: Attach the P Spring to the terminal insulator and loop the rope through it twice. Then pull the rope tight so the P Spring is FULLY compressed. When you get the RopeLink attached, you may have lost some of the tension on the rope, but the P Spring is half compressed just like it should be.

The P Spring keeps tension on your fence to prevent sagging. They really do the job well and are the right weight (not too heavy) for low tension fencing. I looked and could not find anything like it in my local stores. Good product!
