The red 6.4 mm heat shrink tube is an efficient solution to protect, insulate, and reinforce electrical splices onboard. Its use is essential in any marine electrical installation, where watertightness and resistance to harsh environments are crucial.
Advantages
- Provides safe electrical insulation against moisture and salinity.
- Red color for circuit identification and coding.
- Easy application: fits tightly when heat is applied.
- Improves mechanical protection against abrasion.
Typical Applications
- Splicing electrical cables in control panels.
- Protection of connections in marine lighting and electronic systems.
- Covering branch-offs or temporary repairs.
Usage Tips
- Cut the tube to the appropriate length before placing it over the cable or connection.
- Apply even heat using a heat gun or hair dryer. Avoid direct flames.
- Allow to cool for a perfect seal.
Maintenance
- Regularly check the tube’s condition, especially in friction zones or high humidity areas.
- Replace if you detect cracks, hardening, or color loss.
