INSULATED RATCHET STRAINER GALLAGHER G74313 at a glance

Gallagher has taken what they love about their favourite strainers and created an all-in-one insulated end strainer.

The result is an end strainer that insulates, strains and connects - for end of line electric fence assembly.

The end strainer's insulated body provides 1.7x the insulation of previous models.

Unlike most other end strainers, this end strainer also conveniently comes complete with a joint clamp that allows direct attachment of wires for paralleling and power connection.

 

Mount the strainer to a solid post or tree at a height that keeps the insulated handle clear of ground contact. Thread your electric wire through the ratchet mechanism and tighten gradually using the ratchet lever, checking tension as you go rather than cranking it hard in one go. The insulation means you can handle it safely even when the fence is live, but make sure all connections to the wire are secure before energising. Tips: Don't over-tension the wire on your first attempt—electric fencing works better with moderate, even tension that you can maintain, not maximum tightness that puts stress on posts and connectors. In Queensland heat, check your wire tension every few weeks as galvanised wire expands and contracts with temperature changes, and a slack fence is a useless fence. Keep the ratchet mechanism clean and free of rust or debris so it operates smoothly when you need to adjust tension during the season.
