The Spiralator - 50' coil Reviews

4.1 Rating 20 Reviews
Read Kencove Farm Fence, Inc Reviews

The all new Spiralator is a revolution in tube insulators. Unlike a normal fin tube which you must put on before tensioning the wire, the Spiralator is put on after the wire is tensioned. A quick twist of the wrist and it snaps onto the wire. Comes in 4" and 6" length complete with 2" barbed staples, or 500 piece bulk box without staples. Also available in 50' coils, excellent when diagonal brace wires are too close to hot wires.

These are not the easiest thing to get on but once on they stay on. Four stars only because my wife had a lot of trouble getting these to work, takes some strength and patience.

Awesome product for when you forget to put regular insulator hose on your electric wire or when your brace wire finds itself a little to close to your hot wire.

This was my second 50' roll. The first roll went on great but I really struggled wrapping 12.5 high tensile with this roll. Great product but I really struggled with it this time.

I bought this with high hopes, but found that it cannot be twisted onto the wire easily. In fact, I could not successfully do it once. I ended up having to put the wire through it at the end, just like any other plastic pipe. The advertisement for it, though, is very convincing.

I'm in North Texas, outside of Dallas. I have cattle pasture fenced in using 7 wires of high tensile fence, all hot. I am using metal TPosts with plastic insulators on every post, and I have numerous welded pipe fence corners to anchor the wire and guide the wire along the terrain. I have plastic and ceramic insulators on all of the corners. In some places I have metal H-frames for guiding through a ravine, and on those, I have welded 1" nuts that the wire passes through. Earlier, I had the simply tractor supply black plastic insulators to keep the wire from arching against these 1" nuts, but over the years, those rotted and cracked. Next I replaced them with split automotive hose using 2 different size pieces, one inside the other. However, apparently, automotive hose has metal strand fibers embedded in it that will eventually short out your fence. I order this coil of Spiralator, cut pieces to fit, snapped them onto the wire, and fed the pieces into the 1" nuts. Now I have a perfectly insulated fence, no shorts. The plastic in this coil product is much thicker than the tractor supply stuff. If it holds up to the sunlight (says its UV treated), this should be the golden solution for a long time. I used to always buy local, but Kencove is getting my business going forward.
