Overview
Heavy-wall Shrink-Kon – heat-shrinkable
insulators
When it comes to moisture-proofing connections
and terminations, ABB’s heat-shrinkable tubing,
boots and end caps have proven themselves over
years of service to the industry. Made of thermally
stabilized cross-linked polyolefin, these heat-
shrinkable insulators can be used over lead, steel,
aluminum, copper, standard plastic and
elastomeric insulating materials.
ABB heat-shrinkable insulators are designed to be

easy to use. They provide an appropriate level of
insulation and abrasion protection.
Where applicable, ABB heat-shrink insulators are

UL Listed. Also, all standard size insulators have
an internally applied adhesive sealant.
Heavy-wall Shrink-Kon
Heat-shrinkable end cap and boots
Redesigned for superior durability

and performance.
Seals and insulates cable ends at a 600 V rating.
Installs fast, while providing insulation resistance
to moisture, corrosion and abrasion. The extra
thickness at the tip of the end cap prevents sharp
ends of the cable from puncturing the seal.
Seals and insulates multiconductor cables and

conduit with the same cost savings and superior
properties of ABB’s heat-shrinkable tubing. These
boots replace time-consuming tapes, epoxies,
encapsulations and dips. The boots are internally
coated with sealant.
ABB heat-shrinkable insulators offer:

• Heavy-duty protection
• A full range of sizes from #14 to 2500 kcmil
• Field-proven reliability
• Internal sealant provides protection
against moisture
Featured products include:

tape form a flexible dielectric layer that protects
your connection against moisture, humidity and
corrosion. The tape offers high tensile strength,
enabling you to stretch the first layer of tape to
form a solid, compressed, watertight seal. Apply
the second layer with minimal to no stretch, and
your insulation job is complete.

Motor stub splice insulators
• Re-enterable motor stub insulator

• Easy installation
• No special tools required
• Permits inspection of connector joint by simply
removing the snap-on cap.
• Wide cable range, long life
• UL Listed and CSA Certified (UL 94V-1
flammability class)
• Rated for 600 V and 90 °C application
• Material body: modified neoprene elastomer
straps: nylon
This innovative product has been designed to
insulate motor stub splices quickly, easily and
dependably. It consists of a boot-type insulator
with integral Ty-Rap® cable ties. To install, simply
position the insulator over the bolted splice and
tighten the cable ties. That’s all there is to it. It
produces uniform, high-quality installations every
time… in about 30 seconds. The completed
installation is immediately ready for inspection
and use. If required, the insulator can be easily
removed. Simply snip the cable ties and slide
the insulator off the splice. It leaves no sticky
residue.

Installation guidelines and cross reference
Cost and reliability of heat-shrinkable

tubing compared to tape
The cost differential in the installation of ABB
heat-shrinkable tubing over taping can result in
up to a 34% savings in labor and overhead. For
example, on a 2/0 AWG aluminum splice, heat-
shrinkable tubing can be installed in 3 minutes,
versus 10 minutes of taping. In addition to the
direct cost reduction, there are the advantages of
assured uniformity of wall thickness and moisture
sealing.
