    SAE AMS-DTL-23053/5 Class 1, SAE AS23053/5 Class 1, and SAE AS23053/5 Class 3—SAE tubing meets requirements for material quality and color.
    UL 224 VW-1—Flame rated VW-1 tubing meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
    Dielectric Strength—Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.

    High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing

    With excellent durability and chemical resistance, this tubing withstands demanding use.
    PVDF
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. High-Strength Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    PVDF tubing resists cuts from being dragged over rough surfaces, along with tears from stretching or flexing. It has an additive that makes it flame retardant, so it resists combustion and minimizes the spread of flames.
    SAE AMS-DTL-23053/8—SAE AMS-DTL-23053/8 tubing meets requirements for material quality.
    UL 224 VW-1—Flame rated VW-1 tubing meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
    Dielectric Strength—Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.

    Electrically Insulating Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Insulate and protect high-voltage devices. This tubing withstands higher voltages than standard heat-shrink tubing because it’s made of a flame-retardant material with excellent electrical insulation properties. It’s orange, so it’s easy to identify.
    For 2,500V AC Maximum Voltage
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing. Electrically Insulating Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    Tubing for a maximum voltage of 2,500V AC is designed for use in electric vehicles. It shrinks at a lower temperature than 5,000V tubing, so you can avoid damaging nearby components when applying heat. This tubing meets UL 224 VW-1 for flame retardance.
    Dielectric Strength—Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.
