Why Choose the Thunderbird EF-13?

Furthermore, it accommodates a range of wire gauges commonly used in electric fencing. As a result, you get a versatile connector suitable for joining plain wire, barbed wire and high-tensile wire. In addition, installation requires only a spanner — no special crimping tools needed. According to the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, secure wire connections are essential for safe and effective electric fence systems.

Tips for Joining Electric Fence Wire

Before connecting, ensure wire ends are clean and free from kinks. Then, thread both ends through the split bolt connector and tighten firmly. In addition, check the connection for any voltage drop using a fence tester. Finally, inspect wire joiners regularly and retighten after periods of high fence tension.
