Heavy-Wall Shrink-Kon™ —
Heat-Shrinkable Insulators
When it comes to moisture-proofing connections and terminations, T&B’s heatshrinkable tubing, boots, and end caps have proven themselves over years of service
to the industry. Made of thermally stabilized cross-linked polyolefin, these heatshrinkable insulators can be used over lead, steel, aluminum, copper, standard
plastic and elastomeric insulating materials.
T&B heat-shrinkable insulators are designed to be easy to use. They provide an
appropriate level of insulation and abrasion protection.
Where applicable, T&B heat-shrink insulators are UL Listed. Also, all standard size
insulators have an internally applied adhesive sealant.

Heavy-Wall Shrink-Kon™
Heat-Shrinkable End Cap & Boots
Redesigned for superior durability and performance!
Seals and insulates cable ends at a 600V 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 seal.
Seals and insulates multiconductor cables and conduit with the same cost savings
and superior properties of T&B’s heat-shrinkable tubing. These boots replace timeconsuming tapes, epoxies, encapsulations and dips. The boots are internally coated
with sealant.

T&B Heat-Shrinkable Insulators Offer:
• Heavy-duty protection
• A full range of sizes from #14 to 2500 kcmil
• Field-proven reliability
• Internal sealant provides protection against moisture

Featured Products Include:
• High Shrink Ratio HSHR Series with 6:1 shrink
ratio designed for applications with extreme
differences between cable, connector, and
back shell sizes
• Flame Retardant HSFR Series provides
maximum flame retardancy

Heat-Shrinkable Tubing

Overview
Shrink-Kon™ — Medium-Wall Tubing
More flexible than heavy-wall products, with excellent resistance to impact and abrasion.

• Seals and protects cable splices and terminations
• Thermoplastic adhesive liner guaranties complete environmental protection and insulation

Shrink-Kon™ — Thin-Wall Tubing
Manufactured 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:

• Standard non-lined 2:1 thin wall tubing
• 3:1 adhesive lined thin-wall CPO-A Series provide excellent flexibility
with environmental sealing capability

• Extra clear heat shrink for use on power connections and data connections

Covers
These 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.

• Hard-shell outer covers guard against impact...
inner seal keeps out dust

• Installs quickly and easily without special tools...
simply snaps together

• Eliminates time-consuming taping
• Provides high-quality, neat, uniform installations
• Range-taking design reduces inventory

Heat-Shrinkable Tubing

Thin-Wall Heat-Shrinkable Tubing
Custom order lengths for those special jobs!
Custom-Cut Length of Bulk Packaging –
Thin-Wall Tubing
To best meet your requirements for thin-wall heat-shrinkable tubing, Thomas & Betts welcomes the
opportunity to cut bulk reels of tubing. Minimum order requirement is one standard bulk reel, and
multiples thereof. See table for bulk reel length by size. Tubing cannot be cut smaller than 1/2 in.

2:1 Shrink Ratio

When ordering custom-cut lengths of tubing, order by piece, not by length. To determine the
minimum number of pieces to order, simply figure how many pieces of a specific length of tubing
is required to make use of a complete bulk reel.

Heat-Shrinkable Tubing

Splice Insulators and Insulating Covers
Once you try it, you’ll wonder what you ever did
without it! Quick and easy insulation, no heat or
adhesive required!
You won’t believe how easy it is to use Shrink-KonTM Self-Fusing Insulation Tape to insulate splices,
terminations and connections. Forget the heat gun and adhesive. Two layers of this selfamalgamating tape form a flexible dielectric layer that protects your connection against moisture,
humidity and corrosion. The tape offers high tensile strength, enabling you to stretch the first layer of
tape to form a solid, compressed, watertight seal. Apply the second layer with minimal to no stretch,
and your insulation job is complete!

• Just two layers form a moisture-proof,
abrasion-resistant, dielectric seal

• Suitable for high and low voltage applications
• Smooth filler putty compound available for use under tape

Installation Guidelines
1. The cable, etc., should be relatively clean and free of greases, oils,
and other foreign substances.
2. It is best to overlap each wrap of tape by 1/4 to 1/2 the width for the best seal.
3. When using heat-shrinkable products, most applications require only 1 or 2 layers of tape
prior to sliding tubing in place.
4. Shrink the tubing, cap, boot, etc., following the installation procedure
for the applicable heat-shrinkable part.

To seal the junction or crotch of an application requiring two or more cables, conductors, etc.
without a common jacket
1. Apply the overlapped 1 or 2 layers around each cable, conductor, etc.,
at the same distance from the connector, or ball up the sealant and
press into crotch or junction of the joint.

• Available in a 25-ft. roll
• Used in conjunction with T&B

Heat-Shrinkable Tubing

Splice Insulators and Insulating Covers
Quick and dependable way to insulate and
waterproof motor lead connections up to 5kv
Medium-Voltage Motor Stub Splice Insulator
• Installs in seconds
• Flame-retardant
• Flexible boot and impact-resistant cap
• Long lasting and reusable
• Waterproof and abrasion resistant
• One size fits all hookups — reduces inventory
• Enables easy inspection of connection
This first-generation multi-splice insulator is designed to give you a quick, dependable means of
protecting medium-voltage motor stub splice connections up to 5kV. You can install it in seconds
simply by pushing the cover and boot together. Once installed, it completely waterproofs the
connection and provides excellent protection against abrasion or mechanical abuse.

One size reduces inventory
The insulator accommodates wire sizes #8–2/0 AWG having outer diameters of 0.375 in. to
0.840 in. This range-taking feature should accommodate all of your medium-voltage motor
hookups.

Inspectable and reusable
The insulator consists of just two parts: an elastomer boot and thermoplastic cap. The boot has
two tapered cable entry legs that fit snugly around the cable to form a watertight seal. The legs
are designed to be trimmed during installation to fit the required cable size tightly. The cap
simply pushes into a groove in the boot — and pulls out easily when you want to inspect the
connection. Removal of the cap does not disturb the seal around the cables, nor does it interrupt
the bolted splice connection.

Specifications
• 5 kV Wire Range: #8 AWG–2/0
• Rating: 90°C Applications
• UL Listed to: 600 V

Quality engineered
The boot is made of flexible, abrasion-resistant elastomer, and the cap is made of high impactresistant thermoplastic — high-performance materials you can depend on. Use the insulator for
pigtail applications in motor junction boxes, manholes or wherever a waterproof, impactresistant insulator is required.

• CSA Certified to: 600 V
• T&B Recommended to: 5,000 V-90°C
• Material:
Cap — NORYL, UL 94V-1
Boot — EPDM Elastomer, UL 94V-2

3 Use the light blue outer portion of the flame when using the SIT-1 torch. Do not hold the torch still in

one position or concentrate the hot inner flame of the torch on the tubing; this may cause scorching.

Crimp Connector

Shrink Tubing

4 Begin heating tubing in the center. Recover the central portion of the tubing first by heating around the

circumference of the splice. (Keep heat source moving constantly around the circumference of the
insulator to ensure uniform shrinkage of the insulator.)

5 Continue heating around the tubing and out toward one end. Move torch around the tubing until

one end is completely recovered.
6 Repeat the above procedure on the opposite end of the splice, again working the source from the

7 Installation is complete when the tubing conforms to splice and

sealant flow is apparent at both ends.

Typical Specifications
Insulating and sealing of all 600V, in-line cable splices from #16 AWG through 1000 kcmil shall be
done in accordance with the instructions provided with the Shrink-Kon™ shrinkable insulators,
catalogue Series HS.
The connector insulator must be made of thermally stabilized, homogeneous polyolefin having
internally applied sealant. It must have Underwriter’s Laboratories Listing (UL 90°C, 600V) and be
approved for the use. It must be usable without additional covering or adhesive both indoors and
outdoors, in overhead, direct burial, or submersed applications at rated voltage. It must not be
adversely affected by moisture, ozone, oils, fuels, mild acids and alkalies, or ultraviolet light. It must
be compatible with all commonly used cable jacket materials, including rubber, plastic, lead, steel,
aluminum and copper.

Factory-Applied Sealant
A standard sealant is coated on the entire inside surface of most precut sizes. Tubing is also
available without sealant — consult factory. The sealant is rated for continuous 90ºC operation on
non-pressurized cable systems and aids in sealing out moisture and corrosion.

Cost and Reliability of Heat-Shrinkable
Tubing Compared to Tape
The cost differential in the installation of T&B heatshrinkable tubing over taping can result in up to a 34%
savings in labor and overhead. For example, on a 2/0
aluminum splice, heat-shrinkable tubing can be installed in
3 minutes, versus 10 minutes of taping. In addition to the
direct cost reduction, there are the advantages of assured
uniformity of wall thickness and moisture sealing.

Safety Warning: Keep clothing and body parts away from flame.

Step 1

Measure cable diameter and from Table 1, select corresponding section on molded sleeve. Cut off remaining sections of housing to size required.
Example: If cable OD is 0.270 in., it falls withing the “C” range – cut between “B” and “C”.

Step 2

Thoroughly clean approximately 8 in. of the Line side cable to be inserted using the wiper provided. Apply lubricant to cable and
small hole in Line side (receptacle) housing.

Step 3

Insert cable through the small hole in the housing, and push through sufficiently to allow for stripping of insulation.

Step 4

Strip wires 3/4 in. for wire 14 AWG through 10 AWG, 3/8 in. for wire szes 8 AWG through 4 AWG. (DO NOT PENCIL INSULATION).
Crimp on Line side socket. (Refer to Table 2 for suggested tool and die.)

Step 5

Apply lubricant lightly to the outside of the metal fuse socket.

Step 6

Place wooden dowel in the socket. Place the free end of the dowel against a firm surface and push the housing forward
until it snaps into a locking position. Wipe off any excess lubricant.

Step 7

Repeat the above steps with the Load housing.

Step 8

Insert a 13/32 in. by 1-1/2 in. HRC fuse, 600 Volt 30 Amp. max. (Bussmann KTK series or equivalent), in the Load side housing.
CAUTION: WHEN THE FUSE IS FULLY SEATED, NOT MORE THAN 1/16 IN. OF THE FUSE BARREL WILL BE VISIBLE BETWEEN THE FUSE END CAP
AND THE HOUSING. DO NOT APPLY LUBRICANT ON THE FUSE.

Step 9

Plug the Load side and Line side housings together. CAUTION: WHEN PROPERLY MATED, THE SEAM BETWEEN THE HOUSINGS
SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1/32 IN.

Step 10 The connection is now complete. For best results, anchor the Line side wire, so that if the Load side wire is pulled
(perhaps someone has knocked over a pole), the kit will come apart.
