T&B has you covered when it comes to insulation! E asy to use H eat shrinkable P roducts with heavy, medium , and thin walls C overs available for H-type taps and splicesHeavy-Wall Shrink-Kon Heat-Shrinkable InsulatorsWhen it comes to moisture-proofing connections and terminations, T&B s heat-shrinkable tubing, boots, and end caps have proven themselves over years of service to the industry. Made of thermally stabilized cross-linked polyolefin, these heat-shrinkable insulators can be used over lead, steel, aluminum, copper, standard plastic and elastomeric insulating heat-shrinkable insulators are designed to be easy to use.

2 They provide an appropriate level of insulation and abrasion applicable, T&B heat-shrink insulators are UL Listed. Also, all standard size insulators have an internally applied adhesive Shrink-Kon Heat-Shrinkable End Cap & BootsRedesigned for superior durability and performance! Seals and insulates cable ends at a 600 V rating. Installs fast, while providing insulation resistance to moisture, corrosion, and abrasion. The extra thickness at the tip of the end cap prevents sharp ends of the cable from puncturing the and insulates multiconductor cables and conduit with the same cost savings and superior properties of T&B s heat-shrinkable tubing. These boots replace time-consuming tapes, epoxies, encapsulations and dips. The boots are internally coated with Heat-Shrinkable Insulators Offer: H eavy-duty protection A full range of sizes from #14 to 2500 kcmil F ield-proven reliability I nternal sealant provides protection against moistureFeatured Products Include: H igh Shrink Ratio HSHR Series with 6:1 shrink ratio designed for applications with extreme differences between cable, connector, and back shell sizes F lame-Retardant HSFR Series provides maximum flame TubingTMOverviewShrink-Kon medium -Wall TubingMore flexible than heavy-wall products, with excellent resistance to impact and abrasion.

3 S eals and protects cable splices and terminations T hermoplastic adhesive liner guaranties complete environmental protection and insulationShrink-Kon Thin-Wall TubingManufactured from stabilized Polyolefin, these insulators are used to insulate bare Sta-Kon and Color-Keyed connectors and splices. They also provide a degree of strain relief and may be used to harness wires. Available in cut pieces or reels. Featured Products Include: S tandard non-lined 2:1 thin wall tubing 3 :1 adhesive lined thin-wall CPO-A Series provide excellent flexibility with environmental sealing capability E xtra clear heat shrink for use on power connections and data connectionsCoversThese new insulating covers provide hard-shell insulated protection for H type compression taps and splices, and, because there is no taping required, you get uniform quality and appearance each time. The exclusive locking design provides the range-taking capability. Only six H-tap insulating catalogue numbers accommodate the range of 6 AWG 1000 kcmil in the main and 12 AWG 500 kcmil.
