Shrink-Kon HS12-6L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What voltage can the Shrink-Kon HS12-6L heat shrink tubing be used on?
The HS12-6L heavy-wall tubing carries a 600V rating, which covers standard building wire, feeder taps, motor leads, and control cable splices on 120/208, 277/480 circuits. For anything above 600V you need a dedicated medium-voltage splice kit, not this tubing.
2) How long is each piece of Shrink-Kon HS12-6L tubing, and is it sold by the piece or on a reel?
Each HS12-6L is a cut 6 inch (152.4 mm) sleeve, and the selling unit of measure is each, so you order one piece at a time rather than a continuous reel. Six inches is enough to bridge a butt splice or a lug barrel plus overlap onto the cable jacket on both sides; for longer runs of jacket repair, order multiple pieces or step up to a longer length.
3) What does a 3:1 shrink ratio mean for fitting tubing over a lug or connector?
A 3:1 ratio means the HS12-6L recovers to about a third of its supplied inside diameter, so one size slides over a bulky compression lug, barrel, or taped buildup and still pulls down tight on the smaller cable behind it. That is the practical reason to pick 3:1 over a 2:1 sleeve: you can get it past the fat part of the joint without having to split the connection.
4) Is heavy-wall tubing the right choice, or will thin-wall shrink sleeve do the job?
Pick heavy-wall like the HS12-6L when the splice takes mechanical abuse, pulling, abrasion, or outdoor exposure. The cross-linked polyolefin is thermally stabilized for a thicker recovered wall, which is what gives you the abrasion and impact resistance. Thin-wall sleeve is for identification and light insulation on protected indoor wiring where nothing rubs or flexes.
5) Can Shrink-Kon HS12-6L tubing be used outdoors on cable terminations?
Yes. It is black, which gives UV resistance for exposed runs, and the heavy wall suits outdoor cable termination and weather sealing work. Keep in mind this is plain tubing, so if you need a true moisture block at the ends on a direct-buried or submerged joint, use an adhesive-lined product instead.
6) What part number do I order for Shrink-Kon 6 inch heavy-wall shrink tubing?
Order Shrink-Kon HS12-6L. That is the manufacturer part number for the 6 inch black heavy-wall 3:1 sleeve rated 600V. Country of origin is Canada.
7) Will this tubing hold up on equipment that heats and cools repeatedly?
The material is thermally stabilized cross-linked polyolefin, and cross-linking is what keeps the wall from softening and creeping under repeated temperature cycling. That is why it gets specified for motor and equipment leads and wire harness protection in manufacturing plant machinery rather than a non-cross-linked sleeve.
