Heat shrink tubing Brother HS2611, yellow, 5.8 mm diameter, 1.5 m length

Heat shrink tubing Brother HS2611 in yellow is a flexible polyolefin sleeve with a nominal diameter of 5.8 mm and a length of 1.5 m. It is designed to shrink uniformly when heated to provide electrical insulation, mechanical protection and cable identification. The tubing is easy to cut to size and can be applied quickly with a heat gun, hot-air tool or lighter for repair and wiring tasks where a clean, durable finish is required.

Advantages

The tubing offers reliable shrink performance and consistent wall recovery to protect wire joints and terminals. Its yellow color makes it suitable for marking and identifying cables or phases. It provides abrasion resistance and helps prevent moisture ingress and short circuits after proper installation. The material is flexible before and after shrinking, enabling use on bent or routed wiring runs.

Suitable for

• Insulating soldered or crimped wire connections
• Bundling and protecting small cable groups
• Color-coding wiring for identification
• Repairing damaged insulation on wires and cables

Key specifications

• Material: polyolefin heat-shrink
• Nominal diameter before shrink: 5.8 mm
• Length: 1.5 m
• Color: yellow
• Shrink ratio: typical for general-purpose polyolefin (manufacturer’s standard)
• Mechanical protection: abrasion and moisture resistance after shrinking
• Application temperature: suitable for heat-gun, hot-air tools or lighter application

How to use

Measure and cut the required length of heat shrink tubing, allowing sufficient overlap over the area to be insulated. Slide the tubing over the wire or joint before making connections, or position it over the connection after assembly when possible. Apply even heat with a heat gun or hot-air tool while rotating the cable to ensure uniform shrinkage. Maintain a safe distance and move the heat source to avoid scorching; if a lighter is used, warm gradually and keep the flame moving. Allow the tubing to cool and verify that it has conformed snugly to the underlying cable or connector.

Usage recommendations

For best results use a regulated heat gun with adjustable temperature to achieve controlled shrinkage. Select tubing with an appropriate shrink ratio and final wall thickness for higher-voltage or heavy-duty applications. When color-coding, label cables before final installation to ensure clear identification. Avoid overstretching the tubing prior to heating and ensure the working area is well ventilated while applying heat.
