Connectors and Tensioners

Electric horse fence connectors and tensioners ensure your fence system has the proper tension and conductivity needed to keep your horses safely contained. There are many different products to choose from, for different styles of horse fencing.

Connectors: 

  • (SBOLT) Stainless Steel Split Bolt – This stainless steel split bolt is designed to provide an electrically tight connection from the burial wire to your fence rail while allowing wires to be disconnected for troubleshooting. 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

  • (ES) Electric Rope Splice (3-Pack) – This electric rope splice is a versatile connector, strong enough to be used as a splicer or at terminations. To install, all you need to do is insert your electric fence rail into the rope splice and tighten down the two bolts. Sold in packs of 3. Compatibility: Pro-Tek Braid & Pro-Tek Rope

  • (UBC) U-Bolt Connector – The u-bolt connector transfers the electricity from the burial wire to your electric braid or rope horse fencing system. It is tightened with a socket and drive ratchet. This u-bolt connector is constructed of galvanized steel for durability. Compatibility: Pro-Tek Braid & Pro-Tek Rope

  • (EBNPC) Neutral Plate Connector – This neutral plate connector allows you to take power to or from an existing non-copper fencing system and connect it to copper-based ElectroBraid™. The neutral plate connector also prevents the wire from shorting due to corrosion. Compatibility: ElectroBraid™ & Pro-Tek Braid

  • (EBCBOLT) Copper Split Bolt Connectors (10-Pack) – Copper split bolts are used to connect tinned copper lead-out wire to ElectroBraid™ at either the end of an insulator from the ends of the braid rail or one braided rail to another – without losing power. Sold in packs of 10. Compatibility: ElectroBraid™

 

Coated Wire Tensioners:

  • (RTI) In-Line Rail Tensioner – Tension your 12.5-gauge coated wire fencing with our in-line fence tensioner. It has a 12.5-gauge wire vise on one end that locks the coated wire in place, while the other end of the tensioner spools and tightens the other coated wire strand. 

  • (RTE) End Fence Tensioner – With the end fence tensioner, you can terminate and tension your coated wire fencing rail all at the same time! The end fence tensioner can be installed in seconds with the end loop assembly.

  • (RT) Rail Fence Tensioner – The rail fence tensioner attaches to end posts and is used to tighten up your coated wire horse fencing. It attaches with one 5" ring shank nail for better holding power, allowing you to end and tighten your fencing rail all in one spot.

  • (ELA*) End Loop Assembly – Using this insulated end loop assembly for your Raceline and Shockline fencing allows you to connect power from your electric fence charger to the fence. You can purchase the RTI to eliminate the need for time-consuming crimp sleeves.

  • (WL*) Wire Link – Choose from either our 12.5-gauge or 16-gauge wire links to splice/conjoin high-tensile wire fencing together, securely and safely. They have a smooth, horse-friendly design and are constructed of galvanized steel for ultimate outdoor protection!

  • (WV125) 12.5-Gauge Wire Vise – Securely anchor your Raceline Flex Fence® coated wire fencing to end posts with our one-way entry, non-release 12.5-gauge wire vise. The wire vise's teeth inside prevent the fencing from releasing back out, thus sustaining tension.

  • (CS125) 12.5-Gauge Crimp Sleeves (100-Pack) – These galvanized 12.5-gauge crimp sleeves are used to splice together high-tensile coated wire horse fencing. Please make sure to crimp in a cylinder shape and not in an 8 shape! Sold in packs of 100.

 

Pro-Tek 1.5" Electric Tape 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.
