Heat shrink tubing is an essential accessory in any onboard electrical installation. Made of high-quality polyolefin, it provides excellent protection against moisture and environmental corrosion, ensuring safety and durability in marine electrical circuits.
Technical Features
- Diameter: 2.0 mm (before shrinking)
- Color: black, for increased UV protection and discretion in installations
- Material: Polyolefin (halogen-free, confirmation under manufacturer specification)
- Shrink Temperature: Typically between 90ºC and 120ºC
- Application: Insulation of connections, protection of splices and cable terminations
Advantages
- Prevents short circuits and provides additional mechanical protection
- Resistant to harsh marine environments (ideal for salt and moisture exposed areas)
- Easy to apply: requires only heat to attach
Usage Tips
- Cut the tubing to desired length, place over cable, and apply heat with appropriate heat gun
- Do not bring direct flame close; use indirect or regulated heat sources
- Inspect all connections annually, especially in frequently accessed or vibrating areas
