Splice insulators and insulating covers
Self-fusing insulation tape

Once you try it, you’ll wonder what you ever did • Just two layers form a moisture-proof, abrasion-
without it. Quick and easy insulation, no heat or resistant, dielectric seal
adhesive required. • Suitable for high and low voltage applications
You won’t believe how easy it is to use Shrink-Kon • Smooth filler putty compound available for
Self-Fusing Insulation Tape to insulate splices, use under tape when insulating bolted
terminations and connections. Forget the heat gun or dimensionally inconsistent splices
and adhesive. Two layers of this self-amalgamating and terminations
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.

Splice insulators and insulating covers
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.
