HVS-SHIM Heat Shrinkable Shim Kits (5-35kV)
Applications:
Use TE's Raychem HVS-SHIM kit to increase the insulation diameter of a polymeric cable, allowing it to fit in the use ranges of a standard splice kit. For use on copper tape, LC shield, wire shield, lead sheath, UniShield, and jacketed/unjacketed concentric neutral cables.
Selecting the Appropriate Shim Kit:
1. Verify that the insulation diameters of the two cables to be spliced do not fall within the insulation range of any standard splice kit.
2. Select the splice kit that fits the larger of the two cables within the kit’s insulation diameter use range. If the larger cable fits in more than one kit, choose the smaller kit.
3. Determine the minimum cable insulation diameter for the kit and find that value in the first column below. Example: An HVS-1523S kit has a cable insulation range of 1.10-1.60 inches. Therefore, the minimum cable insulation diameter for this kit is 1.10 inches.
4. In the second column, find the insulation diameter range in which the smaller cable falls.
Note: If the smaller cable does not fit within any of the specified ranges in the second column, a standard shim cannot be used for your application.
5. In the third column, find the correct HVS-SHIM kit to order
Selection Information: dimensions in inches (millimeters)
Additional Product Information:
- Select the appropriate shim kit catalog number based on actual cable dimensions and TE's splice kit use range.
- TE's splice kit and shim kits are sold separately.
- Shim kits do not contain connectors. Order a size-reducing connector separately.
- Standard package: 1 kit/box
