5 Inch Offset Fat Man Wood/Steel

Maximum Wire Clearance. Zero Shorts.

When standard clearance isn't enough, the Iron-Wood 5-Inch Offset Fat Man for wood and steel posts gives your hot wire the standoff it needs to stay effective. The 5-inch offset keeps electric wire well away from the post, preventing shorts caused by vegetation, post contact, or livestock pressure — all while delivering the same rugged, USA-made construction you expect from Iron-Wood.

Like all Fat Man insulators, this offset version can be welded directly to steel pipe posts for a permanent installation, or mounted to wood posts with a standard drill and single bracket. Built for the toughest fencing environments on the farm.
