Product Information
Full details
The PetSafe Wire & Flags Extension Kit is designed for pet owners who already own a PetSafe or Innotek in-ground containment system and need to expand their pet's roaming area. This kit provides an easy way to increase your existing boundary, ensuring your pet stays safe within a larger, customized space. While it significantly increases your containment perimeter, users must verify their specific transmitter's maximum signal distance to ensure the system remains reliable after the extension.

FAQs
Is this wire compatible with other brands?
This kit is specifically designed for PetSafe and Innotek in-ground systems. It may not be compatible with other brands.
Do I need special tools to install this?
You will need a wire stripper, wire cutters, and waterproof wire splices to connect the new wire to your existing fence.
How deep should I bury the wire?
Generally, burying the wire 1 to 3 inches deep is sufficient to protect it from lawn mowers and foot traffic.
Will adding this wire make my signal weaker?
Yes, as the wire length increases, signal strength can decrease. Check your manual to ensure your transmitter can handle the total length of the expanded loop.
Can I use this wire for above-ground installation?
While it is burial-grade, the wire can be pinned above ground; however, it is susceptible to damage from string trimmers and garden tools.
Troubleshooting

Check your splice connections for loose wires and ensure the waterproof connectors are fully sealed.

Verify the collar battery is fresh and ensure the transmitter signal intensity is set appropriately for the increased length of the loop.
Pros and Cons

- Easy to integrate with existing PetSafe and Innotek systems
- Large amount of wire provides extensive expansion options
- Included flags make the re-training phase clearer for pets
Cons
- Requires manual splicing and burying of new wire

- Requires re-training of the pet whenever the boundary changes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves splicing the new wire to your existing loop. Before starting, check your system's manual to confirm the maximum length of wire the transmitter can support, as exceeding this will weaken the signal. Use a wire splicer and waterproof connectors to maintain signal integrity. To maintain the system, periodically check that the wire remains buried at the recommended depth and inspect the splice connections annually for signs of corrosion. The flags should be left in place until your pet has successfully learned the new boundary through consistent training.
