Types of Electric Fence Insulators
Porcelain Insulators
Porcelain insulators are made to handle any size fence wire from wire to polywire and polyrope. Zareba porcelain insulators come in several sizes and varieties.
Slightly heavier than other insulators, porcelain insulators are constructed of clay, quartz and feldspar.
When properly installed, porcelain insulators will last a lifetime. However, due to the materials they are made from, they break more easily and are generally more expensive than other insulator types.
T-Post Insulators
Constructed of plastic, T-Post insulators are designed "snap-on" to metal T-Posts. The simple design makes installation quick and easy.
Zareba, Red Snap'r, and Fi-Shock feature an assortment of T-Post insulators in varied sizes for wire, polywire, polyrope, and polytape fencing.
T-Post cap insulators can be placed over T-Post tops to provide maximum protection from injury for horses, show cattle, and other livestock.
Plastic Insulators
Plastic insulators are constructed form polyethylene, polycarbonate, or nylon. They designed to hold electrified wire and fit many different post types.
