Adviser: Insulators for M6/M8 metric threads

There is a wide choice of electric fences available, and the range of accessories or components for ensuring that they operate smoothly is equally extensive. Take, for instance, the wide range of insulators for use with various conductors and fence posts. Insulators with metric threads make up a whole category in themselves. What are the advantages of owning electric fence posts with an M6 / M8 electric thread?

Appropriately equipped for every situation

Electric fences offer another major advantage in addition to the double deterrent / double safety aspect of a mechanical and electrical barrier: They can be equipped so that they are ready for every purpose. Regardless of the type of animal you wish to protect – horses, sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, wildlife, pets such as dogs and cats, small animals or poultry – and no matter what the type of land – stony, dense vegetation, uneven – you will be able to find the right equipment for an effectively operating fence system which will remain reliable for many years. In addition to the energiser, one of the main components on an electric fence is the conducting material. Conductors are required in the form of tape, rope, polywire or wire, as they conduct the electricity transmitted by the energiser. If an animal comes into contact with the conducting material, it will receive a short, unpleasant yet harmless shock. Electric fence posts also have an important role to play. When using electric fence insulators the conductors are attached to the posts. They also insulate the electrical energy so that it is not conducted into the earth. Anyone who relies on electric fence insulators with an M6 or M8 metric thread will be particularly well equipped.

M6 / M8 metric threads on insulators for electric fences

If you use steel or metal posts for your electric fence or for your defence against martens (home and garden), insulators with metric threads are the right choice. They can be screwed into the existing holes so that they are perfectly attached to the posts. Mounting rings for electric fence insulators serve as useful screw-in supports. They are designed to ensure that the insulator cannot slip and that the conductor remains tightly clamped inside them. Each insulator with a metric thread is supplied with two nuts for attaching it. Small, Medium or Large M6 threads have a 6 mm-thick thread. This type of metric ring insulator is generally characterised by a stable insulator head made of high-voltage-resistant, UV-resistant robust plastic. An extra-long metric thread on ring insulators ensures that the entire unit remains in place regardless of the loads to which it is subjected. We also recommend long-shaft insulators (offset insulators) and fencing tape-insulators with a metric thread and clip fastener. Gate handle insulators, slit insulators and corner insulators with an M6 thread complete the range in our online shop.
