Heat Shrink Boot Installation Instructions

STEP ONE: Choose the appropriate size heat shrink breakout boot for your application. Make sure it is large enough to fit over the cables you wish to protect. Make sure the shrink ratio allows enough shrink ability to provide a tight seal after shrinking.

STEP TWO: Slide the shrink boot over the cables & wires making sure that each one is properly positioned in its slot.

STEP THREE: Use a heat gun or other heat tool to begin applying heat across the boot. Keep moving the heat source back and forth across the entirety of the boot to ensure a consistent shrink. As the heat is applied the boot will begin to shrink and conform to the cables.

STEP FOUR: After the boot has stopped shrinking & has a consistent tight fit you can stop applying heat. Allow the shrink boot to fully cool before handling.

Why Do I Need Breakout Shrinkable Boots?

Heat shrink breakout boots are designed to protect and insulate multiple wires or cables that branch out from a single point. These boots provide a weather tight seal at the junction points as well as some straight relief. In the event that one cable or wire needs to be repaired or replaced, breakout boots can make it easier to identify and gain access the affected cable or wire without having to disturb the others.
