Cost and Reliability of Heat-Shrinkable
Tubing Compared to Tape
The cost differential in the installation of T&B heat-shrinkable
tubing over taping can result in up to a 34% savings in labor
and overhead. For example, on a 2/0 AWG aluminum splice,
heat-shrinkable tubing can be installed in three minutes,
versus 10 minutes of taping. In addition to the direct cost
reduction, there are the advantages of assured uniformity of
wall thickness and moisture sealing.
Typical Specifications
Insulating and sealing of all 600V, in-line cable splices from #16 AWG through
1000 kcmil shall be done in accordance with the instructions provided with the
Shrink-Kon
®
heat-shrinkable insulators, catalog series HS.
The connector insulator must be made of thermally stabilized, homogeneous
polyolefin having internally applied sealant. It must have Underwriter’s
Laboratories Listing (UL
®
486, 90° C, 600V) and be approved for the use.
It must be usable without additional covering or adhesive both indoors and
outdoors, in overhead, direct-burial or submersed applications at rated voltage.
It must not be adversely affected by moisture, ozone, oils, fuels, mild acids and
alkalies or ultraviolet light. It must be compatible with all commonly used cable
jacket materials, including rubber, plastic, lead, steel, aluminum and copper.
Factory-Applied Sealant
A standard sealant is coated on the entire inside surface of most precut sizes.
Tubing is also available without sealant — consult factory. The sealant is rated
for continuous 90° C operation on non-pressurized cable systems and aids in
sealing out moisture and corrosion.
