Heat Shrink Kits for Airfield ground lighting cables are used to joint single conductor 5000V non-shielded power primary cables or 2 conductors’ secondary lighting circuits and transformers.
The AGL Heat Shrink Kits are made of heat-shrinkable tubing for insulating and sealing electrical connections.
The heavy wall tubing and mastics in the kit are designed for a variety of low voltage cable applications where mechanical protection and waterproofing are important.
The tubing is made from a thermally stabilized, modified polyolefin.
Features
- High impact and abrasion resistance of tubing provides excellent mechanical protection
- Sealant provides excellent waterproofing and environmental protection in submersible and buried applications
- Thermoplastic adhesive will adhere to all standard plastic, elastomeric insulating material, lead, steel, aluminium and copper
- When heated above (120°C), the tubing shrinks rapidly to seal and encapsulate electrical connections, providing a fast, simple and clean insulation system.
- The tubing will not split or rupture during normal installation, even when overheated
