Cellpack 144013 Heat-Shrink Tubing, 140/42 mm, 1 m

The Cellpack 144013 heat-shrink tubing is a professional-grade solution engineered for robust electrical insulation and comprehensive cable protection. Measuring 1 meter in length, this medium-wall tubing is designed to shrink from a diameter of 140 mm down to 42 mm, providing a secure and tight fit around various cable types. Its construction ensures superior mechanical strength and reliable environmental sealing, making it an essential component for maintaining the integrity of electrical systems in both industrial and domestic environments.

Advantages

This heat-shrink tubing offers exceptional durability due to its high tensile strength and resistance to cold flow, ensuring thermal stability under demanding conditions. The material is halogen-free and non-corrosive, which enhances safety in sensitive installations. Furthermore, the tubing is stabilized against UV radiation, allowing for long-term outdoor use without degradation. Its resistance to various chemical agents and the absence of paint-wetting inhibiting substances make it a versatile choice for complex electrical projects where reliability and material compatibility are paramount.

Suitable for

• Electrical insulation of cable joints and terminations
• Mechanical protection of cables and conduits
• Environmental sealing against moisture and contaminants
• Professional electrical installations and repairs
• Cable management in industrial and residential settings

When it may not be suitable

This tubing is not intended for applications requiring extreme flexibility or for use in environments where the temperature exceeds the material's thermal rating. It is also not suitable for high-pressure hydraulic sealing or applications where the cable diameter falls outside the specified 140 mm to 42 mm shrink range.

• Length: 100 cm
• Wall thickness: Medium
• Material properties: Halogen-free, non-corrosive, UV-stabilized
• Chemical resistance: Resistant to common chemical agents
• Quantity: 1 piece per pack

How to use

To apply the Cellpack 144013 tubing, first ensure the cable surface is clean and free of debris. Cut the tubing to the required length if necessary. Slide the tubing over the area to be protected or insulated. Using a heat gun or an appropriate heat source, apply heat evenly around the circumference of the tube, starting from the center and moving towards the ends. Continue heating until the tubing has fully shrunk and conforms tightly to the cable surface, ensuring a smooth and secure fit without overheating the material.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the cable diameter is within the 140 mm to 42 mm range for an effective seal.
• Ensure the heat source used is capable of reaching the required shrink temperature.
• Check if the 1-meter length is sufficient for your specific installation requirements.
• Note that standard spools may occasionally contain sections tied together.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, always apply heat uniformly to prevent uneven shrinking or localized damage. Ensure the tubing is allowed to cool completely before subjecting the cable to mechanical stress or environmental exposure.
