Pro-Tek Electric Tape Accessories

Now that you have your Pro-Tek 1.5" Electric Tape horse fencing selected, you will need to install your fence properly with compatible accessories. Using the proper accessories, where recommended, will ensure your fence is installed for long-lasting use.

Installation Tips:  Following RAMM’s installation instructions will make this fencing solution an optimal choice for a “weekend warrior” project as it can be easily installed with just hand-tensioning. We suggest concreting in your corner and end posts for the stability and longevity of your horse fencing system. You can choose to install your electric horse fence system on many different post types: wood, t-posts, PVC, or fiberglass.

  • End Tensioning: Tension and terminate your Pro-Tek electric tape runs with a tape end tensioner.
  • Corner Tensioning: When two rail ends of Pro-Tek electric tape meet in a corner, you will need a tape corner tensioner.
  • Splicing: Running two ends of Pro-Tek electric tape through the tape splice buckle will connect the two rail ends together.
  • Connection: To run the electric current to your Pro-Tek electric tape, you will need to run your burial wire and Pro-Tek electric tape through a stainless steel split bolt or you can jump your electric current from rail to rail with a contact clamp.

 

Tensioners: 

  • (R50*) Tape Corner Tensioners (2-Pack) – The electric tape corner tensioner is used when two rails of your 1.5" Pro-Tek electric tape come together in a corner. It may also be used for any elevation change greater than 19°. Very easy to install! Sold in packs of 2.

  • (R40*) Tape End Tensioners (2-Pack) – Tape end tensioners terminate your 1.5" Pro-Tek electric tape at the ends and gate posts. They securely hold the tape rail and keeps the electricity where it should be - on the fence rails, not the posts! Sold in packs of 2.

  • (R24) Tape Splice Buckle – The stainless steel tape splice buckle is similar to the end tensioner bracket; it securely holds the 1.5" electric tape in place. The splice buckle is used to join two rails of Pro-Tek electric tape together. It can also repair any tape webbing.

  • (TRIANGLE) Tape Triangle Tensioner – The tape triangle tensioners can be used with end and corner tensioners to terminate electric tape horse fencing at the end & gate posts. It securely holds Pro-Tek Tape and keeps the electricity in the fence rails, not the posts. Sold individually.

  • (R4TR*) T-Post Toppers (10-Pack) – Built with high-density polyethylene and UV stabilizers, the t-post toppers were made to handle the roughest weather conditions and grip tight to the t-posts to stop the fencing from whipping around. Posts Compatibility: T-Posts

They slide right over the round rods and screw in place for a tight, secure hold. They are impact-resistant and are made in the USA. Posts Compatibility: Fiberglass or Steel Round Rods

It can hold up to four, 12.5-gauge wires. Compatibility: Shockline & Pro-Tek Tape

  • (R9) Contact Clamp – The contact clamp is used when a tensioner can't reach the electric fence charger. Connect your contact clamp to the electric fence charger on one end and to the Pro-Tek tape rail on the other to make the electrical current hot. Compatibility: Pro-Tek Tape
