Single wall tubing gives optimum flexibility and space savings along with mechanical protection and chemical resistance. Dual wall
tubing, with inner walls of adhesive or encapsulant, also reliably seals out moisture. Elastomeric tubing products are specifically

temperatures is required. Heavy duty tubing products are intended for use in the most rugged environments. Whether your
application is commercial, industrial, or military, there are Raychem brand tubing products to meet your precise needs.
• Other tubing products are available in flexible, semirigid, or flame-retardant materials.
Part numbers in this Selection Guide are RoHS and REACH Compliant. These products comply with European Union Directive
2002/95/EC, as amended 1 January 2006, that restricts the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB and PBDE
in certain electrical and electronic products sold into the EU as of 1 July 2006.
ELECTRICAL INSULATION/STRAIN RELIEF/FLAME-RETARDANCE
General-purpose polyolefin tubing is widely used to provide insulation and strain relief of wire
terminations and connections, plus a variety of other applications.
• The tubing is cost effective, and with its low shrink temperature, installs quickly.
• It is flexible but does not easily wrinkle when bent.
• Flame-retardant tubing is available in a wide range of sizes and colors.
• Flame-retardant types are offered in both standard and low toxicity Zero Halogen versions.
• Most polyolefin tubing products meet UL and CSA standards for a wide range of commercial
applications as well as military specifications.
WIRE BUNDLING AND ORGANIZATION
Raychem single wall tubing products allow you to bundle wires to create very flexible,
lightweight harnesses that can stand up to harsh environments. Raychem elastomeric tubings
are intended for use in the most rugged harnessing applications where abrasion and
PROTECTION FROM MOISTURE AND CORROSION
Adhesive-lined, flexible polyolefin tubing seals and protects electrical splices and in-line
electronic components from fluids, moisture and corrosion. Rugged, adhesive-lined
tubing protects wiring and components from the corrosive effects of moisture, engine fuels
and lubricants.
• Tubing provides one-step electrical insulation and moisture sealing.
• When adhesive-lined flexible polyolefin tubing is used both the tubing and adhesive are
flexible, creating a moisture seal that accommodates bending.
• In more rugged applications, specially formulated hot-melt adhesive forms an effective barrier
against fluids and moisture.
• The dimensions of some tubing products are engineered to accommodate multiple wire splices.
MECHANICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Heat-shrinkable end caps fully encapsulate or seal terminations and protect them from dust,
dirt, and moisture. The encapsulant or adhesive lining in the caps melts and flows to fill surface
irregularities in the substrate.
temperature resistance as well as resistance to chemicals and fluids are required.
• End caps inexpensively insulate and encapsulate or seal crimped electrical connections.
• The broad range of tubing products in the Raychem line ensures that the appropriate solution
to your wire bundling and harnessing requirements will be available.
• These caps resist abrasion, vibration and flexing.
• A variety of tubing products meet military and commercial standards.
• Where space saving is important, very-thin-wall tubing allows you to pack components tightly.
MECHANICAL PROTECTION
Raychem tubing products provide mechanical protection to assure reliability of harnesses
and terminations.
• Many tubing products offer excellent protection for cables and harnesses that are dragged
along the ground, flexed frequently, or subjected to abrasion during installation.
• HFT5000 heat-shrinkable fabric tubing and Versaflex expandable braided polyester tubing are
• End caps’ splash resistant, moisture resistant coverings provide environmental protection.
PROTECTION FROM IMPACT AND ABRASION
Heavy duty tubing products were designed for applications where strength and durability are
needed such as underground splice sealing, high ratio back end connector sealing, battery
terminal insulation, and mechanical protection for wiring systems.
• Thick wall tubing is highly resistant to impact and abrasion and provides a high level of strain relief.
• Flame-retardant and halogen-free tubing products are available.
• Heavy duty tubing products are resistant to chemicals, moisture and oils.
designed to provide mechanical protection for components such as rubber hoses, plastic pipes,
and harness wiring bundles.
• Semirigid tubing products provide strain relief to ensure that delicate connections will be
protected from damage during use.
