Can this wire be used to repair an existing Invisible Fence Brand fence with repair kit? This wire is substantially thinner than the IF Wire

Most of the major electric dog fence manufacturers recommend that you use the same gauge wire around your entire loop (ie perimeter) to ensure a consistent signal. So if your Invisible Fence Brand wire is 20 gauge then it will work with the PetSafe 20 gauge wire. I'm not 100% sure but I think Invisible Fence Brand uses either 16 or 14 gauge wire and if that's the case, you'd be better off matching the wire you buy to repair your break with whatever gauge you're already using.

I do not see why not. Be sure to use a wire connector that you heat and seals to be waterproof . I imagine the existing wire is much older and that would be my guess as to why it is larger in diameter. Maybe the insulation on the existing is thicker .

It's possible. It is just an electrical current going through to make a loop

It should work but will be weaker wire. Also depends on the distance your covering. Your just sending a radio signal that the collar responds to through the wire

This is made by Pet Safe, which owns The Invisible Fence brand. However, it will not work with the Invisible Fence collar; it requires it's own dedicated collar.

read the extensive review done by www.the wire cutter . Com that should have your answer

The invisible fence is electrical wire and must bake a complete loop. You can actually go online and print or view a manual that will answer all your questions about the fence. I would not trade it for the world. Our dogs are so much safer with it.

Not sure. All I have ever used is solid. However, wouldn't think it would work since most connectors like that only us solid wire. To tell you the truth this connector type was a real pain to put on. I like the old style that didn't allow the wire to go all the way through the connector.

Only if you want to cut the wire and reconnect it. (Warning) if you cut the wire it is a fine wire and difficult to handle, reconnect, & strip the wire. You must do it taking your time. But it can be done. But I do not change my opinion of the light they are dim and not reliable.

Very Thin, Mine has bent already, but it is still cutting. They do give you a second wire.

Unsure about wire that may be burried. Suggest you call manufacturer and discuss with them for a definitive answer.

of course you should upgrade your electrical wire, why not? Don't mess with a thinner than required electric wire.

Hi Sharon, with out knowing the project your planning to use the wire on I can not answer your question. I can say from my experience that this Stainless steel wire worked great when I was making odd shape filters. It held its shape after many handlings. ..........Ron

My guess is "no." This 12-gauge wire is pretty stout compared to regular bailer wire, which is typically 14 or 16-gauge, but it is still pretty bendable, so I think it might not be the best for your application. If you did use this wire, I think you might find yourself having to bend it back into the desired shape regularly.

It works with my Invisible Fence. I have the ICT 700 and have been using this collar for a couple years and replaced the batteries one time. With Invisible Fence brand you are paying a chunk of the price for franchise cost.

Absolutely! I am cutting galvanized 3/16" fencing wire. The copper is much softer and 1/8" would be even easier. You will have no issues with these except they may be slower than the Stakon Cutter Crimpers which is my go-to for Electrical use.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't accept wire that thick. I had to reduce the wire to a thinner size.

I am not experienced with doing so because it comes with it. So I would have to strip the wire and add a new one. Which wouldn't look as nice. In all, pretty hard to replace.

You need to check what system you have - This worked with our R21 7k system but I know there are different "invisible fence" frequencies. Takes different batteries than a branded invisible fence collar.

The wire is stranded. Solid copper wire would be very difficult to work with in this gauge and PE jacket. Both solid and stranded wire are suitable for dog fence installations. Please feel free to ask any additional questions.
