EM Group Heat Shrink Tubing 38/19mm Green-Yellow

The EM Group heat shrink tubing with a 38/19mm diameter is a high-quality solution designed for electrical insulation, cable protection, and wire identification. Featuring a distinct green-yellow color scheme, this tubing is specifically engineered to meet safety standards for grounding and protective earth conductors. Upon the application of heat, the material shrinks to form a secure, tight, and durable fit around cables and connectors, providing reliable protection against environmental factors and mechanical stress.

Advantages

This heat shrink tubing offers excellent insulation properties and high resistance to environmental conditions, ensuring long-term stability for electrical connections. The dual-color green-yellow design allows for immediate visual identification of ground wires, which is critical for maintaining safety in complex electrical systems. Its high shrink ratio ensures a precise fit even on irregular shapes, while the robust material composition prevents cracking and degradation over time, making it a dependable choice for both industrial and residential electrical projects.

Suitable for

• Electrical insulation of wires and cables
• Identification of protective earth and grounding conductors
• Cable bundling and organization
• Mechanical protection of cable joints and terminations
• Repairing damaged cable insulation

When it may not be suitable

This tubing is not intended for use in environments with extreme chemical exposure or temperatures exceeding the material's rated thermal limits. It should not be used as a primary structural support for heavy cables or in applications requiring high-pressure fluid sealing.

Key specifications

• Shrink ratio: 2:1
• Diameter before shrinking: 38 mm
• Diameter after shrinking: 19 mm
• Color: Green-Yellow
• Material: Heat-shrinkable polyolefin

How to use

To use the EM Group heat shrink tubing, first measure and cut the required length to cover the target area. Slide the tubing over the cable or connection point. Using a heat gun or another appropriate heat source, apply heat evenly around the circumference of the tubing, starting from one end and moving toward the other. Continue heating until the tubing has fully shrunk and conforms tightly to the underlying surface. Ensure the material is allowed to cool completely before handling or applying mechanical stress to the connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the diameter of your cables to ensure the 38/19mm size is appropriate for your specific application
• Ensure you have a suitable heat source, such as a heat gun, available for installation
• Confirm the length required for your project to avoid insufficient coverage

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, ensure the surface of the cable is clean and free of oils or debris before applying the tubing. Always apply heat uniformly to prevent uneven shrinking or potential damage to the underlying wire insulation.
