Heat Shrink Tubing Application
Adhesive Heat Shrink Tubing Application:
In general, adhesive heat shrink tubing is recommended for all connectors. A two-inch piece of adhesive shrink tubing should be shrunk down over the connector/cable interface to guard against moisture infiltration and to help relieve strain on the cable connection (see diagram below). Depending on the type of cable being used, select the proper heat shrink tubing from the chart at the bottom of the page.
Note: When using 352001, 432101 and 532101 cables, shrink a two-inch piece of ATUM 1/4-blk over the cable and outer ferrule. The ATUM 1/4-blk is used to build up the diameter of the cable so the 16/4 high ratio shrink tubing will shrink down tightly.
Straight Connectors
CTS, CNS, CBS, CSS, and CCS Series: Shrink the adhesive tubing over the connector body (see diagram below). The tubing should not interfere with the turning of the coupling nut.

Feed-Through Bulkhead Connectors
BN3, BNS, BBS and BTS Series: Shrink the adhesive tubing over as much of the connector body as possible without covering mounting flange (see diagram below).
