Generally, the largest tube that shrinks down tightly onto an object should be chosen. This allows the heat
shrink tubing maximum stress relief and this will yield the longest service life.
Example:
A multiconductor cable needs to be covered with HSTT Type D
covered has a measured outside diameter of .700" (17.8mm). The two possibilities are HSTT75-48-5 and
HSTT100-48-5.
The proper choice is HSTT100-48-5 since the tube will recover more than HSTT75-48-5. The HSTT75-48-5
will fit over the .700" (17.8mm) outside diameter; however, this is not the proper choice since it is smaller than
the HSTT100-48-5. In general, heat shrink should recover at least 10-20% to reduce stress and yield the
longest service life.
Panduit thick wall heat shrink tubing, HST, provides excellent insulation, abrasion protection and strain relief
