Description

RUBLS-EPDM a series of open-ended, tubular rubber sleeves, which are factory expanded and assembled onto a removable core. They are supplied for field installation in this pre-stretched condition. The core is removed after the tube has been positioned for installation over an in line connection, terminal lug, etc., allowing the tube to shrink and form a waterproof seal. The insulating tube is made of EPDM rubber, which contains no chlorides or sulphurs. Various diameter sizes will cover a range of 1000 volt cables, copper and aluminum conductors.    

Unique Advantages

²     Excellent weather resistance, ultraviolet aging resistance and higher embrittlement resistance than heat shrink tubing

²  More resistant to slab and prick, abrasion, acid and alkali than silicone cold shrink tubing

²  Simultaneously expands and shrinks with workpieces without clearances, seals tight in harsh   environment

²  Stably sealing the workpieces in windy environment

²  Well suited for cable less than 1KV

²  Seals tight, retains its resiliency and pressure even after prolonged years of ageing and exposure.

²  Simple , safe installation, requires no tools or special training. No torches or heat work required.

²  Diameter shrinkage: ≥50%

²  Sealing class IP67

Applications

Primary electrical insulation for all solid dielectric (rubber and plastic) insulated wire and cable splices rated to 1000volts

²  Meets ANSI C119.1, directly buriable or submersible

²  For indoor, outdoor, or overhead use

²  Physical protection and moisture sealing for high-voltage, air-insulated connectors and lugs such as spacer cable and lug connections to bus bar

²  Insulation of secondary splices copper or aluminum conductors

²  Relocation of service

²  Dig-in repairs, sheath repairs

²  Insulation of inline conductor transition connectors

²  Sealing of coax cables with Type N or 7/16 DIN connectors on wireless communication towers
