Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Heat Shrink Cable Joint Kit GPS/2436 used for?
It is used for:
- Straight-through jointing of 3-core screened PILC cable up to 33 kV
How do I choose the right size?
Use the selection chart on this page: it lists every code with its dimensions. If you are not sure which fits, send the dimensions you are working to with the form below.
How is it installed?
Clean and degrease the surface, position the part, then shrink it with a gas torch or a hot-air gun: keep the heat moving round it with a smooth, brushing motion so it recovers evenly without scorching. The instruction sheet in each kit gives the full sequence step by step, including where to start shrinking.
Where can I download the datasheet?
From the "Download datasheet" button at the top of this page, or here:
Can I get a quote, a sample or a size that is not listed?
Send your cable details, quantity and application with the "Request a Quote or Sample" form at the foot of this page.
