Clean the cable which will be covered by the tube. Lightly sanding the surface is recommended.
Remove the cable insulation length for the connector according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Place the tube over the cable.
Install the connector according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Preheat the cable insulation where it will contact the tube.
Center the tube over the splice, or position it against the lug tongue.
Starting in the center and working your way out to the ends, shrink the tube using a broad soft flame
torch or hot air gun. Minimum recommended shrink temperature is 248° F (120° C). Use higher
temperatures to recover faster. Continually move the heat source around the diameter of the tube,
which will cause the product to recover. Do not scorch the tube.

IN-LINE SPLICE CONNECTOR
Shrink from the center of the tube toward the ends.
LUG CONNECTOR
Shrink from the lug end toward the opposite end.
The shrink is complete when adhesive oozes from between the tube and the cable and/or the lug.

**It is always best practice to use the largest HST product which has a “Maximum Recovered I.D.” smaller than the
bundle diameter. This will insure maximum insulation thickness and best protection for the splice.
