How to Troubleshoot Common Installation Issues with Cold Shrink Tube

This guide should help you with some common problems that can occur during the installation. Here at Volsun we understand the need to get it right so let's take a quick look at the best practice tips and tricks. 

Diagnosing Cold Shrink Tube Installs

When you begin experiencing problems with your cold shrink tube installation the number one thing to check is the actual tube. Inspect for any obvious damage or wear. If the tube is cut, torn or improperly shaped, it ain’t going to work properly. And be sure the tube is sized correctly for your cable. A too-small tube won’t fit, and a too-big tube won’t seal. Then there is the surface that you are using the tube on. It should be clean and dry. If there’s dirt or grease, or moisture present in the tube, then the adhesive might not stick as well and the bond will fail. 

How to Get the Best From Cold Shrink Tubing

If you want to ensure that the cold shrink tube works well, you can pay attention to some details. First, always choose high-quality tubes. At Volsun, we offer high quality products which can resist various stress and weather conditions. If you have high quality tubes, your cables are sure to be protected well also. Then also, the way you prep the cable for tube install is essential. Ensure the cable is cut strait across and that there are no sharp edges. Should there be sharp edges, they will eat away at the tube and over time you can get leaks or failures. Cut cleanly with a suitable cable cutter.
