The shrink tube HIS-PACK-9,5/4,7-GNY from HellermannTyton is a thin-walled, flexible shrink tube designed for use in electrical engineering and cable processing. It is supplied in a dispenser box, which enables dust-free and orderly storage as well as easy handling. The shrink tube is available in the colour green-yellow and features a shrink ratio of 2:1, meaning it shrinks to half its original length when heated. This shrink tube is particularly suitable for small requirements and is offered on a small reel with a length of 5 metres.

Applications

The shrink tube is suitable for insulating, labelling, and providing mechanical protection for cables and wires. It is commonly used in electrical installations, machine building, and automation technology, where reliable and durable cable covering is required. The green-yellow colour serves as a visual identifier, particularly for protective conductors in accordance with VDE regulations. The dispenser box enables clean and contamination-free storage, which is especially beneficial in professional workshops and assembly environments.

Functions and Features in Detail

The shrink tube is constructed with a thin wall, making it flexible, lightweight, and space-saving. It is available in 10 different sizes, with inner diameters ranging from 1.2 mm to 25.4 mm. Colour variants include blue, red, black, transparent, and green-yellow, with the green-yellow variant specified for this product. Packaging in a dispenser box ensures hygienic and orderly storage, protecting the material from contamination and damage.

Technology Explained Simply

The shrink ratio of 2:1 means that the shrink tube shrinks to half its original length when heated. This allows for a tight fit around cables or wires, ensuring secure mechanical and electrical insulation. The material composition provides excellent fire protection properties, making the shrink tube suitable for applications in electrical installations where high safety standards are required. The use of a hot air gun, such as the CHG900-PA-GY, is recommended to ensure even and controlled shrinking.

Compatibility and Accessories

The shrink tube is compatible with the HIS-Service Station, a tool for processing shrink tubes. Additionally, the hot air gun CHG900-PA-GY is available as a suitable accessory for evenly heating the shrink tube. Using this blower enables precise and controlled shrinking, achieving optimal fit and a professional result.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by sliding the shrink tube over the cable or wire to be protected. The shrink tube is then heated using a hot air gun, causing it to shrink and form a tight, dense covering. The dispenser box facilitates easy unwinding of the material and prevents contamination of the shrink tube during work. Processing requires no additional tools, although the use of a hot air gun is recommended to ensure even shrinking.

Operational Advantages

The shrink tube provides reliable mechanical and electrical insulation that remains stable even under load and in various environments. The thin-walled construction ensures high flexibility and low weight, making it particularly suitable for applications with limited space. The excellent fire protection properties enhance safety in electrical installations. The green-yellow colouring supports visual identification of protective conductors, facilitating compliance with safety regulations. The dispenser box ensures orderly storage and extends the material's shelf life.
