Heat-shrinkable Tubing
Applications
SST provides a simple,
positive splice-sealing
method that offers
protection under adverse
environmental conditions.
Tubing supplied with
standard sealant provides
water sealing and environ-
mental protection in wet or
underground applications.
The thermoplastic adhesive
not only seals, but also
provides mechanical strain
relief. The polymer tubing
has excellent insulating,
abrasion-resistance, and
strain-relief properties.

†In place of asterisk* substitute length of tubing to be ordered. For example, SST*-11, as the second column indicates, comes
in 48-inch lengths, so a 48-inch cut piece of SST tubing would be SST 48-11.
††Wall thickness will be less if tubing recovery is restricted during shrinkage.
**30-inch length standard for /226 coating only.
