TuffRing™ II Insulator
Screw-in ring insulator well-suited for starting (or ending) a low-tension fence line on a wooden post.
- Securely holds electroplastic polywires, ropes and twines, or low-tension steel wire. Smooth surface reduces friction and allows conductor to move freely.
- Self-tapping screw (1.25" length) saves time and labor
To ease installation, use a Easy Drill Tool.
Specs
- Temperature resistant nylon
- Length: 3.5"; Self-tapping screw: 1.25"
- Shank: Galvanized steel (0.23" dia.) to resist corrosion
- Ring diameter: 1.5"; inner diameter: 0.5"
- Hooked shank (0.23" dia.) goes half-way around inside of nylon ring for added strength
- Self-tapping galvanized screw (1.25" length) saves time and labor
How to Use
- Put bit end of driver tool into chuck of drill and tighten.
- Position driver over the insulator so the ring of insulator fits into cup of driver. Drive insulator completely into the post.
- Thread low-tension conductor through insulator.
- Predrill holes in the wooden post
- Screw insulator completely into the post.
- Thread low-tension conductor through insulator.
Tips
Add a P Spring when terminating to maintain desired tension.

Great insulator.
Terrence T from Oklahoma
Well made. Worked very well for my application.

My second order of these was in December because I was pleased with the previous product. As time goes forward, in less than 3 years, the insulators are breaking off the securing screw or the black protective coating (plastic I am assuming) is allowing the current to connect with the securing screw. I would not recommend this for anything than a VERY temporary situation. I am slowly replacing each of them one by one as they break. I will start taking pictures of the insulators as they break to support my one star review. I, one for one, do not have time replacing insulators that have been up for less than 2 years.

Perfect for corner and end posts. Much easier than other options. Durable.
Michael B from West Virginia
These are the best, currently spacing them out to reinforce the existing insulators on my horse fence, from now on these will be my "go to" insulator.
