AKO Ring Insulators: Classic hold for polywire, wire and rope
Ring insulators are the all-rounders on the fence. Here you will find AKO models with wood thread, with metric thread or for thin metal posts.
A ring encloses the conductor so it cannot slip out. For timber posts there is the Easy Drill EDX ring insulator, which you simply screw in. The M6 ring insulator with metric thread fits metal, and the VARIO ring insulator sits on posts from 7 to 19 mm. Then there is the pin insulator for angle iron posts, compact models with a short stem and the large SUPER BIG.
When do I need an insulator with a long stem?
A long stem holds the conductor further away from the post. That helps with timber posts and where there is growth, because the conductor touches wood or grass less often.
