One Nemtek 6mm bolt-type line clamp, sold on its own for a quick wire join or a repair. Electric fence wire clamps do the same job as a ferrule, joining two fence wires or a wire to HT cable, but with a bolt instead of a crimp, so you do not need a crimping tool and the joint can be undone later. The 6mm in the name is the clamp size: Nemtek rates it for fence wire up to 1.6mm. The finish is XL galvanised. If you are fencing a whole boundary, the 50 pack of the same clamp makes more sense than buying singles.

What you get

  • 1 Nemtek 6mm bolt-type line clamp, XL galvanised (EA-LC6)

Clamp or ferrule?

A ferrule is crimped and permanent. A bolt-type clamp is tightened with a bolt, so you can loosen it to move, re-tension or replace a wire. Nemtek's 6mm aluminium ferrules are only for aluminium wire, while this clamp is rated for wire up to 1.6mm, which covers Nemtek's 1.2mm galvanised, 1.2mm stainless steel and 1.6mm aluminium fence wire. That makes the clamp the simpler choice when you do not have the matching ferrule for the wire in hand.

Which wires it joins

Nemtek says the clamp joins electric fence cables and wires. Use it on 1.2mm galvanised stranded wire, 1.2mm 304 stainless steel wire and 1.6mm stranded aluminium wire, or to connect a strand to the HT lead-out cable from a Nemtek Merlin Stealth energizer.

XL galvanised, with a stainless option

This clamp is the XL galvanised version, Nemtek code EA-LC6. Nemtek also makes a stainless steel version (EA-LC6/SS) for corrosive sites. Nemtek lists no pack size for the clamp, so this page is for one clamp.

Key features
  • One clamp for a single repair. Sold singly, so you buy one when one joint needs fixing. The 50 pack is on its own page.
  • Takes fence wire up to 1.6mm. Nemtek rates the 6mm clamp for wires up to 1.6mm, which covers its galvanised, stainless and aluminium fence wire.
  • Bolt-type, so it can be undone. Loosen the bolt to move, re-tension or replace a wire. A crimped ferrule cannot do that.
  • No crimping tool needed. The joint is made by tightening a bolt, not crimping a sleeve.
  • Joins wires and HT cable. Nemtek describes the clamp as joining electric fence cables and wires.
  • XL galvanised finish. Nemtek's standard version. A stainless steel version (EA-LC6/SS) also exists.

Questions people ask
Is 6mm the wire size?

No. 6mm is the clamp size. Nemtek rates the clamp for fence wire up to 1.6mm.

Can I undo the joint later?

Yes. The clamp is bolted, so you can loosen it to move or re-tension the wire. That is the main difference from a crimped ferrule, which is permanent.

Will it work on 1.6mm aluminium wire?

Yes. Nemtek rates it for wire up to 1.6mm. Nemtek's own crimp part for aluminium wire is the 6mm aluminium ferrule, which makes a permanent joint.

Can I join the HT cable to the fence wire with it?

Nemtek describes the clamp as joining electric fence cables and wires, so yes.

Is it stainless steel?

No. This one is XL galvanised. Nemtek makes a stainless steel version (EA-LC6/SS). Ask the branch if you need it.

Should I buy the single or the 50 pack?

The single is for a repair or one extra joint. For a new fence or a full re-wire, the 50 pack is the same clamp in quantity.

Do I need an installer to buy this?

No, anyone can buy it. The fence itself must be installed and certified by a registered electric fence installer. Alectra supplies the equipment only.

Need it fitted? Alectra Solutions supplies product only. Ask the branch and we will point you to installers in Pretoria.
