Heat Shrink Installation Instructions
Position heat shrink over the object to be covered. Using a heat gun, soft yellow flame torch, infrared heat
source or oven, evenly heat the tubing until it has fully recovered and conforms to the object. Use caution
not to char or burn the tubing.
TFE tubing is the most difficult to shrink due to its high shrink temperature. TFE shrink tubing must be
heated to the gel state 621°F (327°C) to completely recover. This can be recognized when the tubing
changes from milky white to clear color. It can be shrunk with a heat gun or torch, however, it is very difficult
to use these methods since they have a tendency to overheat the tube in one area while other areas remain
too cool. The most reliable way to shrink TFE is in an oven. Position the heat shrink over the object to be
covered and place it in an oven set at 800°F (427°C) until the tubing turns clear. Once clear, remove
assembly from oven to prevent over heating and allow it to cool at room temperature. Do not quench in cold
air or water. Large objects, particularly metal tubing or rods, must be preheated to get a uniform shrink.
Size Selection for Heat Shrink Tubing
Generally, the largest tube that shrinks down tightly onto an object should be chosen. This allows the heat
shrink tubing maximum stress relief and this will yield the longest service life.
Example:
A multi-conductor cable needs to be covered with HSTT Type D
covered has a measured outside diameter of .700" (17.8mm). The two possibilities are HSTT75-48-5
and HSTT100-48-5.
The proper choice is HSTT100-48-5 since the tube will recover more than HSTT75-48-5. The HSTT75-48-5
will fit over the .700" (17.8mm) outside diameter; however, this is not the proper choice since it is smaller
than the HSTT100-48-5. In general, heat shrink should recover at least 10-20% to reduce stress and yield
