Suggested Installation Equipment (not supplied with kit)
• Cable preparation tools
• Raychem P63 cable preparation kit or
cable manufacturer approved solvent
Recommended Raychem Torches
Install heat-shrinkable cable accessories
with a "clean burning" torch, i.e., a
propane torch that does not deposit
conductive contaminants on the product.
Safety Instructions
Warning: When installing electrical
power system accessories, failure to
follow applicable personal safety
requirements and written installation
instructions could result in fire or
explosion and serious or fatal injuries.
Adjusting the Torch
Adjust regulator and torch as required to
provide an overall 12- inch bushy flame.
The FH-2629 will be all blue, the other
Cleaning the Cable
Use an approved solvent, such as the
one supplied in the P63 Cable Prep Kit,
to clean the cable. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer's instructions. Failure to
follow these instructions could lead to
product failure.
eneral Shrinking Instructions
G
• Apply outer 3- to 4-inch tip of the
flame to heat-shrinkable material with a
rapid brushing motion.
• Keep flame moving to avoid
scorching.
• Unless otherwise instructed, start
shrinking tube at center, working flame
around all sides of the tube to apply
uniform heat.
Installation Instructions
1. Product selection.
Check kit selection with cable
diameter dimensions in Table 1.

• Clean, lint-free cloths
• Non-conducting abrasive cloth, 120
grit or finer
• Electrician's tape
Clean burning torches include the
Raychem FH-2629 (uses refillable
propane cylinders) and FH-2616A1
(uses disposable cylinder).
To avoid risk of accidental fire or
explosion when using gas torches,
always check all connections for leaks
before igniting the torch and follow the
torch manufacturer's safety instructions.
To minimize any effect of fumes
produced during installation, always
provide good ventilation of confined
work spaces.
torches will have a 3- to 4-inch yellow
tip. Use the yellow tip for shrinking.
Some newer solvents do not evaporate
quickly and need to be removed with a
clean, lint-free cloth. Failure to do so
could change the volume resistivity of
the substrate or leave a residue on the
surface.
To determine if a tube has completely
recovered, look for the following,
especially on the back and underside of
the tube:
1. Uniform wall thickness.
2. Conformance to substrate.
3. No flat spots or chill marks.
4. Visible sealant flow if the tube is
coated.
Note: Table is for 100% insulated
cable. For 133% insulated cable,
check actual cable dimensions.

Note: When installing multiple tubes,
make sure that the surface of the last
tube is still warm before positioning and
shrinking the next tube. If installed tube
has cooled, re-heat the entire surface.
