WRAPAROUND INSULATOR 20"
SKU: 238
The Kiwi Wraparound Insulator is one of the simplest end or corner insulators to install because the extra loop of wire and splices needed with the Double U are eliminated. Insultube should not be used as a high strain corner insulator. The wraparound insulator has an aluminum insert to keep the wire from cutting through the plastic. They must be slid onto the end of the wire when the line post insulators are placed on the wire . Be careful not to staple too tightly. The plastic eventually cracks and causes a short in the electricity. A staple placed above and another below the wraparound is safer. Tap the staple so it bends to hold the wraparound in place. A wraparound may be prone to minor shorts because of the slight distance form the electric wire to the post. The Heavy Wall Insulator is made of the same material but has no aluminum insert. Kencove believes their wraparounds have the most insulating distance between the wire and post.
