The Strainrite 2.5mm Crimp Sleeve (C2-3) is a high-performance fencing solution designed for secure, long-lasting wire connections in agricultural and trellis applications. Engineered for 1.6mm to 2.5mm (16 to 12.5 gauge) high-tensile wires, including electric fencing, these sleeves deliver exceptional joint strength that exceeds the wire’s breaking strain when properly crimped with a Strainrite crimping tool. Featuring a water-resistant grit adhesive, the sleeves ensure reliable performance in all weather conditions, reducing maintenance needs and enhancing durability. Their cylindrical crimping design, achieved through 4–5 overlapping crimps, prevents splitting and maintains consistent tension, making installation straightforward and effective. Available in cost-effective tubs of 100, these New Zealand-made sleeves offer professional-grade quality, ensuring robust, low-maintenance fencing solutions for livestock and horticultural systems.
-
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.
