Shrink-Kon

Heavy-Wall

Heat-Shrinkable End Cap and Boots

Redesigned for superior durability and performance!

Seals and insulates cable ends at a 600V rating. Installs fast, while providing insulation resistance to moisture, corrosion and abrasion. The extra thickness at the tip of the end cap prevents sharp ends of the cable from puncturing the seal.

Seals and insulates multi conductor cables and conduit with the same

cost savings and superior properties of T&B’s heat-shrinkable

tubing. These boots replace time-consuming tapes,

epoxies, encapsulations and dips. The boots

Shrink-Kon® Heavy-Wall Heat-Shrinkable Insulators

When it comes to moisture-proofing connections and terminations, T&B’s heat-shrinkable tubing, boots and end caps have proven themselves over years of service to the industry. Made of thermally stabilized cross-linked polyolefin, these heat-shrinkable insulators can be used over lead, steel, aluminum, copper, standard plastic and elastomeric insulating materials.

T&B heat-shrinkable insulators are designed to be easy to use. They provide an appropriate level of insulation and abrasion protection.

Where applicable, T&B heat-shrink insulators are UL Listed. Also, all standard-size insulators have an internally applied adhesive sealant.

T&B Heat-Shrinkable Insulators Offer:

• Heavy-duty protection

• A full range of sizes from #14 to 2500 kcmil

• Field-proven reliability

• Internal sealant provides protection

against moisture

are internally coated with sealant.

Featured Products Include:

• Standard non-lined 2:1 thin wall tubing

• 3:1 adhesive-lined thin wall CPO-A series provides

excellent flexibility with environmental sealing capability

• Extra-clear heat shrink for use on power connections

and data connections

Covers

These new insulating covers provide hard-shell insulated protection for “H” type compression taps and splices, and, because there is no taping required, you get uniform quality and appearance each time. The exclusive locking design provides the range-taking capability. Only six H-tap insulating catalog numbers accommodate the range of #6 AWG – 1000 kcmil in the main and #12 AWG – 500 kcmil in the branch.

• Hard-shell outer covers guard against impact,

inner seal keeps out dust

• Installs quickly and easily without special tools —

simply snap together

• Eliminates time-consuming taping

• Provides high-quality, neat, uniform installations

• Range-taking design reduces inventory
