TE CONNECTIVITY RHW-33/8-200/ADH-0

RHW Rugged, heavy wall, adhesive-lined, polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing Rugged, heavy wall RHW tubing is provides a high level of strain relief when Installation requires no special skills. specifically designed for insulating, installed on splices and joints. It is also When heated, RHW tubing shrinks protecting and sealing electrical resistant to chemicals, moisture and quickly to insulate and encapsulate connections and joints in low-voltage oils. electrical connections and cable joints. cables. RHW is the ideal choice While the tubing is shrinking, the internal whenever maximum mechanical Adhesive-lined RHW provides a adhesive lining melts and flows to protection is required in an electrical complete moisture-proof seal, environmentally seal the connection. insulation system. It provides splice preventing corrosion of underlying insulation thickness equal to or greater components. the thermoplastic RHW is the ideal choice for applications than standard wire insulation manu- adhesive in RHW will adhere to most where maximum reliability and product factured to common industry standards. common insulation materials including performance, and simplified installation crosslinked poly, PVC, neoprene, are required. Because RHW is heat- RHW withstands mechanical abuse for hypalon and EPR, as well as to most shrinkable, a minimum number of sizes increased product reliability. It is highly metals including lead, aluminum and are needed to cover a wide range of resistant to impact and abrasion and steel. cable and splice diameters.
