    Corrugated Wire Sleeving

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. Corrugated Wire Sleeving.
    Slide this sleeving over wire, cable, or hose before adding connectors or making electrical connections. The corrugated construction gives it impact and abrasion resistance similar to conduit, but with more flexibility. It’s ultra-flexible so it’s good for applications that require tight turns. Since it doesn’t have a slit, it keeps out more dust and debris than slit corrugated sleeving.
    Stainless Steel—Stainless steel sleeving is stronger and more corrosion resistant than steel and aluminum sleeving. It also withstands higher temperatures.

    High-Temperature Expandable Wire Sleeving

    Protect cable, hose, and pipe from abrasion and cuts in high temperature environments—this sleeving withstands temperatures over 450° F. It expands to fit over items for easy installation; sleeving then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate.
    Stainless Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. High-Temperature Expandable Wire Sleeving.
    Stainless steel sleeving has excellent corrosion resistance, so it provides good protection in wet locations, such as near process water. It also has excellent abrasion resistance and can stand up to cuts and rough surfaces near equipment on a plant floor. Use sheet metal snips to cut.

    Insulation

    Often used with extrusion-, injection-, and blow-molding machinery, these heaters clamp around nozzles to keep material warm for consistent discharge. They require a temperature switch or controller (sold separately) to regulate heat output.
    Note: The heater must be sized to fit tightly around the barrel to prevent air gaps that lead to inefficient heating and premature failure.
    With Mineral Insulation—Heaters with mineral insulation heat up faster than heaters with mica insulation.
