Versafit
1
Heat-shrinkable Tubing
Very Flexible, Low-Shrink-
Temperature, Polyolefin
Tubing
Product Facts
■ 2:1 shrink ratio
■ Low shrink temperature
reduces installation time
and the risk of damage to
temperature-sensitive
components
■ Very flexible; doesn’t easily
wrinkle when bent
■ Highly flame-retardant
■ Hot stamps extremely well
■ Higher temperature rating,
better thermal stability, and
higher resistance to physical
abuse than noncrosslinked
materials
■ Free of polybrominated
biphenyls (PBBs) and
polybrominated biphenyl
oxides and ethers (PBBOs Applications Installation Operating Temperature Range
and PBBEs), which are
classified as environmentally Cost-effective choice for Minimum shrink -55°C to 135°C
hazardous substances many commercial and temperature: 70°C [158°F] [-67°F to 275°F]
■ RoHS compliant military applications; Minimum full recovery
electrically insulates temperature: 90°C [194°F]
and protects in-line
components, disconnect
terminals, and splices.
Bundles wires for very
flexible light-duty
harnesses. Strain-relieves
electrical wire connections
for commercial applica-
tions. Identifies or color-
codes wires, cables,
terminals, and components.
