P Spring
Used to maintain desired tension on electrified low-tension conductors. Install a P Spring every 1320 ft.
Use with the following conductors:
- MaxiShock™ Wire
- IntelliRope® PE 6.0
- IntelliRope® PE 4.5
- EnduraSoft® 6.0
- IntelliBraid® 6.0
- IntelliBraid® Twine PE 3.0
Common Uses
Specs
- 1" wide
- 8.5" long without tension
- Stretches to 35 lb (half compressed)
- Stainless steel—so it won't rust
How to Use
- 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.)
- Attach conductor to other end of spring by taking the loose end of conductor and putting it through open end of spring.
- Pull conductor until spring is 1/3 to 1/2 compressed.
- Run conductor through the loop one more time and tie off.
- Whenever conductor becomes loose, repeat above steps.
Tips
However, if you don't have a helper to hold the tension on the rope, you may lose 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.

Nice, small, compact spring. Perfect for the braid.
Marc W from Minnesota
Premier 1 has what I need and gets it out the door in a timely fashion. (Which is getting few and far between.)
Kathye S from Pennsylvania
Very easy to use. They really help tighten your fence line. I have deer going back and forth, over and thru, my fencing. These allow for bounce back instead of stretching or breaking electric wire strings and poly rope.
James D from Massachusetts
Worked as described.
Martha H from Wisconsin
