Wedge-Loc Installation Guide

INSTALLATION with a POST DRIVER and FENCING PLIERS
Turns T-Posts into Fence Braces...Fits all U.S., Canadian & Mexican steel T-Posts...
IMPORTANT
Follow these instructions for best results.

Choose the type of bracing system you need
(in-line or corner brace)
***BE SURE ALL POSTS ARE IN LINE & SQUARED UP***

HORIZONTAL BRACE

2-Collars 2-Wedges
2-90Å¡ Sockets

Measure one t-post brace length plus 1/2" for distance between posts

DIAGONAL CORNER BRACE

3-Collars 3-Wedges
4-60Å¡ Sockets

Measure t-post brace length minus 12-16" for distance between posts

DIAGONAL BRACE

2-Collars 2-Wedges
2-60Å¡ Sockets Same as corner for spacing

WOOD POST BRACE

1-Collar 1-Wedge
2-60Å¡ Sockets Same as corner for spacing

WEDGE
INSTALLATION WITH UNIVERSAL COLLAR

Wedge position for brace assembly

Hold collar tightly and slide wedge down between back rib of T-post and collar. PLEASE NOTE: Wedges no longer have tabs.

NOTE: For Canadian T-Posts without lugs on the front of the post...use 1/4" bolt to secure.

TIPS

	Use 7' or 8' T-Post in corners, drive in 2' - 3' so post is in ground same as wood post. (If 7' or 8' T-posts are unavailable you can drive two posts back to back with one post deeper.)
	If T-post turns in the ground causing misalignment, take a pipe wrench and connect to T-post at ground level. Then slowly twist T-post back into proper alignment.
	For heavy pulls, use a diagonal brace wire (opposite direction of brace) and tie the brace post to brace wire where they cross in center.
	Install bottom wire first. For additional strength use cross wires.
	On main corner & end posts, wrap wires alternately, first one direction, next the other direction, to prevent post from twisting.
	On the brace T-post, remove spade with hammer. To adjust tension on brace if it's too loose or tight, tap one or the other up-right post deeper into the ground.
	For strength and stability when using horizontal brace follow with a diagonal brace. T-posts will lean when wire is stretched with only a horizontal brace.
IF NEEDED: This will give you a longer post in the ground, for use mainly if 7-8' posts are not available or if your soil is extremely loose. For more strength in the corners, double posts by putting T-Posts back to back, as shown in diagram, wire together with one post higher to hold collar for Wedge-loc bracing system.
