RBK-VWS-125 Tubing
Clear product for
sealing and protection of
inline wire splices.
RBK-VWS-125 Tubing
Dual-wall, heat-shrinkable tubing
designed to provide environmen-
tal sealing of an electrical splice
in an automotive environment.
Moisture may enter a splice
directly or indirectly via capillary
action between individual wires,
thus causing corrosion. This
effect is accelerated by variations
in temperature.
Benefits
The tubing is centred over the
splice area and during heating
the adhesive melts and is
‘squeezed’ around where the
wires are crimped or welded and
between the conductors by the
shrinking action of the sleeve.
The installed product provides
low profile mechanical protection
against flexing, abrasion and
cut-through as well as electrical
insulation. There are four sizes
to cover the range of splice
profiles.
n
Excellent environmental seal
n
Mechanical protection
against flexing, abrasion and
cut-through
n

n
Single component solution –
to seal, protect and insulate
most in-line and stub splices
n
Complete environmental and
moisture sealing – for up to
seven wires per side
n

combination – for superior
strain relief
n
Clear tubing allowing
inspection of wire splices
n
Application equipment and
installation procedures – to
meet most harness production
processes
n
Meets most applicable
worldwide automotive OEM
splice sealing specifications
n
RoHS/ELV compliant
