Catalog > Electric Fence Insulators > Steel U-Posts and Chain-Link Fence Insulator for 1.75-2.125" wide U-posts/Chain-link fence and for wire, polywire, or polyrope About Steel U-Post Insulators: Dare’s U-post insulators work by firmly grasping the two projecting sides of the U-post, and so the width of the U-post is important. Most of the insulators listed (products 7-31 through 7-34) can accommodate U-posts between 1.75 and 2.125 inches wide, and one type (products 7-31 and 7-32) can also grasp chain-link fence. The Safety Top’R is designed to fit over U-posts of this width and to accommodate wire, polywire, and polyrope. The corner knob (product 7-13, suited to use with any studded steel post) is good at navigating wire, polywire, or polyrope around fence bends and corners. One other type of insulator (products 7-37 and 7-38) is designed for wider 2.35" (Steel City) U-posts and for use with wire, polywire, and polyrope. Insulator for 1.75-2.125" Wide U-Posts/Chain Link Fence and for Wire, Polywire, or Polyrope Insulator 07-32 (recently modified to stand 3 inches out from a U-post or chain link fence) as well as insulators 07-102 and 07-103 attach to most U-posts and chain link fences. The classic Elfin-style insulator with a metal Essex-style base (product 07-104) will fit all T-posts, U-posts, and chain link fences and will hold a wire 5 inches out from its supporting post or chain link fence. Insulator for 1.75-2.125" Wide U-Posts and 0.5-1.5" Polytape Holds the tape well; can be used to navigate fence bends and corners. Available in yellow or white. Safety Top'r Insulator for Wire, Polywire, and Polyrope Designed to fit over the tops of steel U-posts 1.75-2.125" wide, this insulator can accommodate wire, polywire, and polyrope but not polytape. Available in yellow only. Corner Knob Insulators for Wire, Polywire, and Polyrope The small holding arms of the insulators for wire, polywire, or polyrope (products 07-22 thru 07-27) are not well-suited to securing conductors where the fence is going around bends or corners. Two good alternatives for this purpose are Dare's heavy-duty black polyethylene corner knob, and extra heavy-duty "Double U" end and corner insulator. Both will hold these conductors securely, and both can themselves be secured to a U-post with wire or synthetic twine. In addition, the Double-U end and corner insulator is suitable for high-tensile use and can withstand extremely low temperatures such as those found in Alaska. Insulator for 2.35" U-Posts and Wire, Polywire, or Polyrope Similar to product 7-32 above. Available in yellow only. |
