What type of posts are required for installation?
These are screw-on insulators, requiring sturdy wooden posts for secure attachment.
How many insulators are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 25 insulators.
Can these be used with electric fence wire or rope?
No, these insulators are specifically designed for tape and are not suitable for wire or rope.
How do I ensure the insulator is installed correctly?

Are these insulators suitable for all weather conditions?
Yes, they are made from durable materials designed for long-term outdoor use.
Troubleshooting
Insulator spins and won't tighten.
The post material may be too soft or the pilot hole too large. Try a different post or a slightly smaller pilot hole. Ensure the screw thread is engaging with solid wood.
Tape is not staying in place.
Ensure the tape is correctly threaded through the insulator's channel and that the insulator is securely attached to the post. Check that the tape is not excessively slack.
Electric current is not reaching the end of the fence.
Verify that all insulators are functioning correctly and not damaged. Check for any grounding points where the tape might be touching soil or metal. Ensure the tape is properly seated within all insulators.
