Making a T-Junction

To make a T-junction in a wide tape run loosen the run and take one insulator away from the fence at the required point, substitute a tensioner (R36V) with the T-junction wire (R36T) already in place in the tensioner. Lace the existing tape through each side ‘wing’ of the tensioner.

This firmly fixes the line tape and makes a good electrical contact for the new tape run. Re-tension the tape line at its far ends.

The T piece now stands out proud of the tensioner free to take the new tape run away from the existing fence.
