Heavy wall heat shrinkable tubing affords maximum reliability for insulating and sealing electrical connections and terminations. BHW is tough and durable, installs quickly and easily protection electrical connections in the most adverse conditions including direct burial and submersible installations. BHW is coated internally with a dual purpose thermoplastic liner which flows and encapsulates when heated. When cooled the tubing offers the mechanical strength of a superior adhesive and the corrosion protection of a high quality mastic.
Features: • 3:1 Shrink ratio
• Higher than usual dielectric strength at 500 volts/mil thickness
• Highly abrasion and impact resistant
• The thermoplastic liner will adhere to PVC, neoprene, polyolefins, EPR, as well as steel, aluminum and lead.
• Easy installation, shrinks when heated over 120°C
Applicable Specifications:: • U.L. 486D – Insulated wire connects for use with underground conductors.
• C.S.A. C22.2 No. 198 – Underground cable splicing kits
• ANSI C119.1 – Sealed insulated underground connector systems rated at 600V
