The Strainrite Barbed Wire Crimp Sleeve is a high-quality fencing component designed specifically for joining 2.5mm (12.5 gauge) mild steel barbed wire, making it an ideal solution for robust livestock fencing. Crafted from aluminium with a water-resistant grit adhesive, these sleeves ensure durable, weather-resistant connections that withstand harsh environmental conditions. When properly crimped 4–5 times using Strainrite tools such as the EzeCrimp, UltraCrimp, or Procrimp, the sleeve forms a strong, cylindrical joint that exceeds the wire’s breaking strain without splitting, ensuring long-lasting fence integrity. Available in pottles of 50, this New Zealand-made product is compatible with the F3020 Electrocoup with Procrimp head, offering professional fencers a reliable, easy-to-install option for secure barbed wire connections in agricultural settings
For use on ¨2.50mm (12 ½ gauge) mild steel barbed fencing wire. Crimp 4-5 times with EzeCrimp or UltraCrimp fencing tool to ensure joint strength. Crimp from one endoverlapping each crimp to eliminate shoulders. Water resistant grit adhesive for all weather conditions

To maximize these advantages, use only Strainrite crimp sleeves with compatible Strainrite tools, as non-Strainrite sleeves may damage tools and void warranties.
-
Proper crimping technique (4–5 overlapping crimps, leaving 1/4" between multiple sleeves) is critical for optimal performance.
