S24RM Cable Repair Sleeve with adhesive

• Shut down of system not required for repair
• High shrink ratio covers evenirregular shapes
• Simple installation without rail with clamshell design
• Thermoplastic adhesive liner provides complete invironment protection and insulation
• Meets ICEA and NEMA insulation thickness specifications

Installation Instruction:

• GENERAL:
• Always comply with the following installation procedure
• Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, and serious or fatal injury.
• Consult the product data sheet for the appropriate wraparound sleeve type, size and recommended length for the specific application.

• OPERATION OF TORCH:
• Always use a clean burning Propane or MAPP torch.
• Always provide good ventilation for confined workspaces
• Consult your company hot work safety procedures before using an open flame
• Always use the outside 3 to 4 inch tip of the flame for contact with the heat shrink product
• Always keep the flame moving with a smooth brushing motion around the circumference and along the length of the sleeve
• Always start shrinking at the middle of the sleeve and work towards each end
• If the sleeve is not uniformly recovered, as evidenced by non-uniform wall thickness or dimpling, reheating the area will ensure full recovery
• Do not handle the sleeve after recovery, until sufficiently cooled.

• INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION:
• Select the proper size sleeve considering the diameter and necessary length of coverage. Allow a minimum of 3" length overlap on each end of the area to be covered
• Remove the plastic release liner and paper mask from the inside of the sleeve exposing the translucent adhesive and adhesive flap. Use caution, so as to only remove the liner and not the excess flap of adhesive. This flap is approximately 2" in width, located at the and near the butyl hold down strip.
• Wrap the sleeve "loosely" around the cable, forming a tube, so that the adhesive is on the inside. Tuck the end of the sleeve in behind the excess flap of adhesive so that the adhesive forms the tube around the cable
• Remove the paper protection covering the butyl hold down strip. Press the butyl hold down strip onto the sleeve in the desired location and using the palm of your hand or a rubber roller, apply firm pressure to hold in place.
• Using a broad colorless or yellow flame (DO NOT USE A CONCENTRATED BLUE FLAME), begin heating below the area marked "HEAT HERE FIRST" which runs along the length of the sleeve. Heat the indicated area with a brushing motion until a slight wrinkle occurs. Once the sleeve begins to recover, move the flame over the flap, along the entire length of the sleeve. Do this in the same manner as described earlier being careful not to apply too much heat between the factory weld and the area above the butyl strip
• Continue shrinking the sleeve from the center towards one end, applying heat along the flap area and in a circular motion around the sleeve. While shrinking, check the flap to ensure good contact. If the flap joint is not flush or begins to curl during the shrinking process, re-apply pressure to the flap joint. When the sleeve has adequately recovered, sealant will flow from the end and seal circumferentially.
• Repeat the same procedure, shrinking from the center towards the other end until the sleeve has completely recovered.
• Finally, apply the same additional heat over the flap closure area marked "HEAT HERE FIRST" using end-to-end strokes and if required, possibly a small amount of pressure to ensure a proper weld.
• Installation is now complete.
