FCSM Tubing

FCSM Tubing

Flame-retardant heavy-wall tubing rated for use at 2000 volts. FCSM tubing's tough, crosslinked polyolefin construction provides mechanical strength and cut-through resistance equal to, or surpassing, the properties of low-voltage cable jackets.

Use sealant-coated FCSM tubing (-S) as a sealed in-line splice or terminal lug seal. It provides a water tight seal for direct-buried applications and wet environments.

Use uncoated FCSM tubing (-/U) for cable rejacketing only.

Sealant-coated or uncoated FCSM tubing may be used for jacket repair on cable to 35 kilo volts. Qualified to ANSI C119.1-1986; rated to IEEE 383 (Vertical Tray Flame Test) and also ICEA S-19-81.

FCSM Tubing is for use on standard poly- or elastomeric- insulated/jacketed cables or lead-jacketed cables, which may include aluminum or steel armoring.

• Connectors up to 6 inches: Recommended cut length = connector length + 4 inches
• Connectors over 6 inches: Recommended cut length = connector length + 5 inches

Raychem WCSM Heavy Wall Tubing for 1000 Volts

Raychem WCSM Tubing

Raychem WCSM tubing is a heavy-wall sealant coated tubing rated for up to 1000 volts. For use on standard poly or elastomeric insulated / jacketed cable or lead-jacketed cables, which may include aluminum or steel armoring. WCSM tubing can be used to seal an in-line splice or terminal lug seal for non-flame retardant applications, cable re-jacketing and mechanical protection.

Sealant-coated WCSM tubing is qualified to ANSI C119.1 and rated to Western Underground guide 2.5. Also RUS accepted for use as a secondary tap or splice cover and for use as jacket restoration materials on JCN cable. WCSM tubing may be used for jacket repair on cable to 35 kilo volts.
WCSM tubing has a 4:1 shrink ratio and an unlimited shelf life when stored under normal conditions.
