Advantages: Join and tension in one. 4 times faster than knotting or other traditional methods. The simple push fit maintains the inherent strength of the wire. High load holding. Easy maintenance - one way movement always allows for re-tensioning. Optimum corrosion resistance. Adjustment feature. Use with Gripple Torq Tensioning Tool for easy installation. Installation: Insert the first wire, then the second to make a wire joint. Tension with the Gripple Tensioning Tool. Use on plain wire, barbed wire or stock fencing. Use the setting key for adjustment prior to tensioning. Terminate at a post by looping the wire around the post ans sliding the Gripple alon the wire. Then insert the tail wire back into the unit. Tips: Always leave a wire tail of at least 3" to allow for re-tensioning. Secure tail wires with the gripple twister. If the Gripple unit is pushed onto the wire too (pre-load), use the setting key to allow the unit to move backwards.
