    Cold-Shrink Tubing

    Create a permanent seal without applying heat. Also known as cold-shrink tubing, this tubing has a removable spiral-wound core. Slide the tubing over wire and cable and pull out the core. When the core is removed, the tubing contracts and conforms to the underlying cable. The length shrinks by several inches. Made of rubber, it resists chemicals including acids, alkalies, and ozone. Resistant to UV, it won’t fade or discolor when exposed to sunlight.
    Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown.
    EPDMAbout EPDM
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cold-Shrink Tubing.
    EPDM tubing resists tearing and abrasion better than silicone rubber tubing, making it more durable. It meets ANSI C119.1 for water seal requirements and can be submerged.

    Moisture-Seal Wrap for Heat-Shrink Tubing

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Tubing Seal Wrap. Moisture-Seal Wrap for Heat-Shrink Tubing.
    Use this wrap with heat-shrink tubing to create a moisture-resistant seal. Apply it like tape around wire and cable, and slide the tubing over the wrap. The wrap melts when tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface.
    TPE Rubber—TPE rubber wrap has a higher dielectric strength than nylon plastic and butyl rubber wrap, so it’s the best choice for electrical insulation.
    Butyl—Butyl rubber wrap seals larger gaps than TPE rubber and nylon plastic wrap, so it’s better for protecting irregular shapes or items with deep grooves. However, it doesn’t withstand temperatures as high.
    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.

    Cold-Shrink Tubing End Caps

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cold-Shrink Tubing End Caps.
    With a spiral-wound core, these end caps form a permanent seal on the end of your crimped wire or cable without heat or tools. Slide them on, pull out the core, and they conform to the end of your connection, creating a seal that insulates and protects against water, dust, and abrasion. They’re sometimes even used to seal the ends of pipes and wire rope.
    EPDM—Made of EPDM, these caps won’t become brittle from ozone or chemicals such as acids and alkalis. They also won’t fade in the sun.

    Apply heat and these grommets shrink around wire, cable, and cords to keep out dust, debris, and moisture. A rubber adhesive on the inside makes the bond extra secure, while the flange covers imperfect holes. Made of plastic, these grommets are chemical resistant. They won't dry out and become brittle when exposed to UV rays. All have an extra-hard rating to withstand high levels of impact. They can also be used outdoors.
