Specs

Stainless steel plate. Joint clamp is zinc/nickel with a stainless steel nut.
Installation

  1. Hook the short side of the insulator onto T post.
  2. Pull or push the long side of insulator around the front of post.
  3. Hook long side around the back of post.
  4. To connect the electrical flow to the activator and gate, attach a piece of insulated wire (sold separately) from the fence to the split-bolt-joint clamp on activator. (Loosen nut from joint clamp, shed off approximately 2" of insulation from the insulated wire, and then slip the bare wire into slot of joint clamp. Tighten nut.) A SafeHandle (sold separately) will hook into the open hole on metal bar of activator.
  5. When the handle is connected, the gate is energized. When the handle is not connected, the gate is not energized.
  6. If the fence is continuing on from the gate, use insulated wire under the gate to feed the other side of the fence.

MaxiShock Double Insulated Cable, per ft.
Item # 164200 - In Stock
$0.44
Premier's MaxiShock 7 strand cable covered with pliable plastic insulation.
Because of its low tensile strength and thick zinc coating, wrapping it several turns around the conductor or stainless P spring provides an enduring connection capable of transferring the high volts and amperes of low impedance energizers.
By contrast, HT ins. wires, including our PIW34 wires, must be secured by a connector because their high tensile properties causes them to slightly untwist--allowing sparking and corrosion to develop over time.
Posts
Steel T Posts, 6 ft.*
Item # 327600 - In Stock
$11.25
For end, corner and curve posts for temporary and semi-permanent fences. Excellent line posts because they ground uninsulated wires and without causing rust. (Rust from painted T posts will cause high-carbon HT wire to rust much faster.)
Gates
SafeHandle, black
Item # 339500 - In Stock
$2.99
Insulated, spring loaded gate handles used for entering and exiting temporary gate openings. Can be used with all low-tension conductors except for wide tape.
