Gripple Wire Joiners & Connectors

Gripple Wire Joiners & Connectors are precision-engineered devices for joining, tensioning, and terminating trellis wires, barbed wire, and high-tensile fencing. These products replace traditional, labor-intensive methods like knotting with tool-free, patent-protected designs that perform simultaneous joining and tensioning. Constructed from corrosion-resistant zinc alloy with high-grade ceramic rollers, these components are engineered for long-term durability in agricultural and fencing applications, withstanding harsh outdoor conditions and repeated re-tensioning for the life of the installation.

Primary Wire Joiners and Tensioners
Gripple Joiner GP Small, Medium, Large, and Jumbo models are versatile inline joiners for splicing wire and creating end-term anchor points. Their patented mechanism allows wire ends to be pushed into the joiner; internal ceramic rollers lock the wire in place while permitting re-tensioning by pulling the wire tail. This design maintains the wire's inherent strength and operates up to four times faster than knotting. Performance specifications are stratified by model: the GP Small handles 1.40–2.20 mm (17–14 GA) wire with a 660-pound working load; the GP Medium accommodates 2.00–3.25 mm (13.5–10 GA) wire with an 880-pound working load and is also compatible with 15.5-gauge high-tensile barbed wire; the GP Large fits 3.20–4.20 mm (10–7.5 GA) wire with a 1,320-pound working load; and the Jumbo Gripple manages 12.5 GA wire with a 1,320-pound load, ideal for high-load trellising.

Specialized Connectors and Termination Systems
Gripple Joiner T-Clip connectors provide fast, secure termination at fence line start and end posts, eliminating the need for knotting on smooth wire fences. These T-Clips install quickly and deliver a clean, professional finish on high-tensile and low-carbon smooth wire systems. A specific T-Clip 2 variant is designed for terminating 10 to 7.5 GA barbed wire with a 1,320-pound load capacity.
Gripple Joiner VIT-S components are specialized systems for managing fruiting wires on vineyard and orchard trellises, replacing cumbersome chains. These devices allow individual wires to be moved independently during the growing season, easily dropped for pruning, and hand-tensioned. The VIT-S is used directly on metal posts, while the VIT-S Kit includes a bespoke hook for use on wooden posts; both support 1.40–2.60 mm (14–12.5 GA) wire with a 400 kg (880 lb) working load.
Gripple Joiner GP No.1 and GP No.2 are single-channel terminators for fast wire termination at metal end posts in trellising and fencing. The GP No.1 is for 14–11 GA trellis wire with a 330-pound load, while the GP No.2 handles 7.5–11 GA wire with a 1,320-pound load.

Wire-Specific Repair and Joining Solutions
Gripple Joiner Barbed Wire Gripple and T-Clip (for barbed wire) are purpose-engineered for barbed wire fencing. Their design incorporates features to securely grip the undulating shape of barbed wire, using corrosion-resistant ceramic components for a long-lasting joint.
Gripple Joiner GP Fix is a two-piece, tool-free repair system for broken trellising or fencing wires. The elongated design snaps onto broken wire ends, providing up to 15 mm of extra reach to bridge gaps and facilitating a quick, on-the-spot repair without needing extra wire. It is compatible with 1.80–3.20 mm (15–10 SWG) plain wire and has an 880-pound load capacity.
Gripple Joiner GP90 and GP90-G are heavy-duty joiners for cross-wire applications and larger gauge wires, with the GP90-G specified for 1/4" to 5/8" wire and a 1,320-pound load.

Packaging and Professional Accessories
These Gripple products are supplied in bulk packaging for commercial operations, including cases of jars, bags, and large tubs containing hundreds of units, suitable for large-scale installation and maintenance projects. For professional installation, Gripple offers dedicated tensioning tools such as the lightweight Torq Tensioning Tool and the heavy-duty Contractor Tool, which provide precise and efficient wire tensioning.
