Overview

The ABB CHS18B Thin-Wall Heat-Shrinkable Tubing, identified by SKU CHS18B, is a specialized solution for electrical insulation and protection. Constructed from clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this tubing is engineered to accommodate cable sizes within the 22 to 18 AWG range. It features a precise 2:1 shrink ratio, enabling it to conform tightly to wires and cables. The tubing begins with an expanded diameter of 0.13 inches, which reduces significantly upon application of heat to create a secure and protective fit. This heat-shrinkable tubing is rated for electrical applications up to 600 Volts, ensuring safe operation within its specified voltage limits. It is designed to perform reliably in environments with continuous operating temperatures reaching 125 degrees Celsius. The material composition of polyvinyl chloride contributes to its durability and insulating properties. The CHS18B is supplied on a substantial 250-foot reel, making it a practical choice for projects requiring significant lengths of tubing. This packaging facilitates efficient use in various applications, including the bundling of wire harnesses and general-purpose insulation tasks. The thin-wall design of the CHS18B offers a compact profile, which is advantageous where space is a consideration, while still delivering essential electrical insulation and mechanical protection. A key feature of this tubing is its clear material, which allows for visual inspection of the underlying wire or splice after the heat-shrink application. This transparency aids in quality control and verification of connections. The CHS18B tubing is suitable for general-purpose requirements related to electrical insulation and can also be utilized for wire jacket marking. This product is distributed by Gross Automation.
