WIRE OR LIKE CONNECTORS/TENSIONERS

摘要

A method of connecting an electric fence wire (30) to a post (27) comprises providing a wire connector (10) of the type having a body (11) within which twin bores (15A, 15B) are each associated with wedging means (12A, 12B), together with a non-electrically-conducting filament (19), the filament being looped round the post and having a free end (21) inserted into one of the bores, pushed through and pulled for setting of the proximity of the connector (10) to the post (27), then an end (29) of the electrical fence wire (30) is inserted into the other bore, pushed through and pulled to tension the fence wire and also the filament looped round the post. The filament (19) may extend fixedly from the body (11) of the connector (10) or it may be provided with a small loop (41) through which the free end (21) of the filament is passed after looping round the post (27) and before insertion into the connector.
