Porcelain Bullnose Strain Insulator
A fireproof porcelain strain insulator for free-standing and game fencing
The Porcelain Bullnose Strain Insulator is made for fences that face the threat of veld fire. Porcelain doesn’t burn or melt, so it stays intact where a plastic insulator could fail. It sits at strain points such as end posts, corners and straining points. There it holds the tensioned wire securely while keeping the live line electrically isolated from the post.
Key features
- Fireproof porcelain construction. It is designed to survive fire, which suits fire-prone farmland and game reserves.
- Made for free-standing and game fencing. It is a good fit for both fence types, particularly where fire is the main concern.
- Suited to 2.24mm steel wire. It is generally used with 2.24mm steel wire, a common gauge for agricultural and game fencing.
- Affordable fire protection. At R 8.43 it costs slightly less than the GFT Strain.
Ideal for
- Game farm and reserve fences in fire-prone areas
- Strain points where fire is the main threat
- Free-standing electric fence lines
- Situations where fire resistance matters more than maximum physical strength
An honest note on strength
The listing says plainly that this insulator is fireproof but not as physically strong as the GFT Strain Insulator. If the fence is under heavy animal pressure as well as fire risk, the GFT is the better choice. If fire is the main concern, the porcelain is a good, slightly cheaper option.
