The Zareba® Chain Link Electric Fence Insulators extends wire 4-1/2-inch from chain link fence without losing energy. This sturdy yellow electric fence insulator is packed 10 per bag.
Fastens electrified wire to chain link fence without losing energy
Extends wire 4 1/2-inch from chain link fence
Heavy-duty brackets that clamp to a chain link fence
To solve assembling problem; drill the hole out CAREFULLY and STRAIGHT with a 1/8" drill bit. The screw will start and still hold the insulator on securely
Do not recommend as they are difficult to assemble. Holes don’t all line up and screws strip easily. We have purchased these for years and they used to come already assembled, but apparently not any more. Disappointed.
We are so sorry to hear about this unusual experience and would like to hear more about what might be occurring. The insulators are covered under a 30-day return policy and a 1-year replacement policy, so please give us a call at 855-592-7322 so that we can help!

Terrible quality parts. The accompanying screws strip when attempting to assemble. I do not recommend!

Cold use more pins and holes punched in straight

The holes were a problem as they were not straight also why not send cutter pins for all holes? Haven't put on chain link yet this is a process as I'm older female but I'm taking it one step at a time at least they are now together
Have had this product installed so long about 3 in 50 have rusted along with the chain link fence over 14 yea. I recommend this for chain link. Going to purchase more of them. I just want to keep the coyotes out, not give them loc jaw with the 3 rusty ones.
I disagree with previous critical comment, like most chores, best practices improve results. The cotter pins have to be bent after the arms have been compressed as much as possible, to squeeze the chain link as much as possible, and then, obviously the cotter pin should be located to provide as much leverage as possible; then, pull the cotter pin toward you with a pair of pliers, and only then bend one arm of the pin, or both if you want to squeeze even tighter. I will eventually put a second cotter pin in the second set of holes. The insulator screw attachment goes in straight if you're careful. I'm round post/square post adapter on the posts, and one of these chain link attachments in the middle of each section of fence, about every ten feet.
Not the best product on the market as the holes for the screws are not punched right and the screw go in crooked. Instructions on bag show the cotter pin on the front side of the legs but they will pop off the fence very easily this way so I put the pin on the back side These were a lot cheaper at Tractor Supply than on their own website WHY?
If you have no other choice, this product will suffice, but the brackets with black insulators will last longer. The product works well on chain-link fencing, especially 9 gauge HDuty, but not so mechanically secure on flimsy 11 1/2 gauge chain-link fencing if you are running 12.5 gauge aluminum electric fence wire; should be mechanically okay with thin 14 to 17gauge wire on 11 1/2 gauge chain-link fence, and definitely okay on 9 gauge fence.
Can you please provide video instructions on how to install these?

Thank you for contacting us. We currently do not have a video available, but please follow these instructions. Place the insulator on the chain-link fence where you want the electric fence wire to run, secure the bracket firmly to the chain-link fence using the included hardware/pins. Tighten the assembly so the insulator is securely attached to the fence, pass the electric fence wire through the opening or hook of the insulator. Keep the wire suspended and not in direct contact with the metal fence. Connect the wire to the fence energizer and check the voltage with a fence tester.

I have about 100 of the chain link electric fence insulators already installed on a fence. I need to move the animals to another area and want to remove the insulators and reinstall on another fence. The cotter pins are no longer usable. What size are the cotters and can I purchase them separately?

Hi! Thank you so much for your question. Unfortunately, we do not sell or offer these parts. You can purchase the whole piece, not separate parts.
