Thomas & Betts HS6-1L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will Thomas & Betts HS6-1L heat shrink tubing fit over a 6 AWG to 2 AWG cable splice?
Yes. The HS6-1L is sized for a 6 to 2 AWG cable range. It slides on at a minimum expanded inside diameter of 0.75 inch and recovers down to a maximum recovered ID of 0.24 inch, so it grips tightly over conductors and connectors in that range. It also covers aluminum/copper splice connectors up to 2.5 inches long within its 8 inch tube length.
2) Can this heavy-wall heat shrink tubing be used for direct burial?
That's what it's built for. The HS6-1L is heavy-wall cross-linked polyolefin with factory-applied sealant, intended for underground residential distribution, submersible pump leads, and direct burial splices. The sealant means you don't need to add mastic or tape for moisture sealing, and the recovered wall of 0.09 inch is thicker than the typical cable jacket it covers.
3) What temperature do I need to hit to shrink the HS6-1L tubing, and will it survive underground heat cycling?
Shrink temperature is 120 C, so a propane torch or a high-output heat gun is required; a standard low-temp gun may not recover it fully. Once installed, the tubing holds an operating range of -55 C to 110 C, which covers buried and outdoor service conditions.
4) Is this heat shrink tubing rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes, the HS6-1L carries a 600V rating, which covers standard residential and commercial power distribution splices. It is not a medium-voltage product, so for primary URD cable above 600V you need a separate MV splice kit.
5) Do I have to buy Thomas & Betts HS6-1L tubing in a case quantity?
The tubing is sold each, but the order multiple is 25 and the outer package holds 25 pieces, so orders go in increments of 25 tubes. Weight runs 5.5 lbs per 100 pieces, which is useful if you are freighting a large job order.
6) Will a 3:1 shrink ratio tubing seal over an irregular splice with a connector bulge?
Yes. With a 3:1 ratio the HS6-1L goes on loose at 0.75 inch ID and pulls down to 0.24 inch, so it conforms over the step from connector body to cable jacket without wrinkling or leaving a void. The description notes it recovers over lead, steel, aluminum, copper, and plastic jacket materials.
7) Is the HS6-1L tubing RoHS compliant and what color is it?
Black, part of the Thomas & Betts HS Series, and RoHS compliant. Black is the standard choice for buried and outdoor work since it holds up to UV better than light-colored jacketing.
