INSULATOR CORNER STRAIN PLATE FOR 40MM TAPE GALLAGHER G67012

Slide the strain plate onto your 40mm post and secure it with the bolts provided, making sure it's positioned at the height where you'll be running your tape. Thread your Gallagher tape through the plate's slot and pull it tight — the plate holds tension without putting stress directly on your post. Tighten everything down firmly so the tape can't slip under load, especially important on long runs or where livestock push hard against the fence. Tips: Don't over-tighten the tape in the plate or you'll damage the conductor and create a weak point that'll snap under pressure — firm and snug beats cranked down tight. Keep the plate clean of salt, dust, and vegetation buildup, particularly near coastal properties or in damp gullies where insulation degradation happens faster. Check your strain plates annually for corrosion or cracks, especially after heavy storms, as a dodgy plate will bleed energy and leave you with a fence that won't hold stock properly.
