Heat-shrink end cap HellermannTyton 416-13060, polyolefin, black, Ø 16 mm, pack of 1000

HellermannTyton 416-13060 is a black polyolefin heat-shrink end cap supplied in a pack of 1000, designed to fit an outer diameter of 16 mm. The end cap shrinks when heated to form a tight, insulating seal over cable ends and connectors, providing environmental protection against moisture, dust and contaminants. It is manufactured for reliable insulation and mechanical protection in electrical and telecommunication installations.

Advantages

These polyolefin heat-shrink end caps provide a consistent shrink profile to create a secure, low-profile termination. The material offers good electrical insulation and resistance to aging, while the black outer surface helps block light and minimize UV-related degradation. Supplied in bulk, the pack of 1000 supports larger installation projects and routine maintenance needs without frequent reordering.

Suitable for

• Sealing and insulating cable ends in electrical installations
• Protecting telecommunication cable terminations from moisture
• Strain relief and mechanical protection for connectors and splices
• Use on polymeric, paper-insulated or lead-jacketed cables, including armoured cables with aluminium or steel layers
• Bulk installation and maintenance work in industrial and utility environments

Key specifications

• Material: Polyolefin
• Colour: Black
• Shrunk fitting outer diameter: 16 mm
• Pack quantity: 1000 pieces
• Function: Heat-shrink end cap for insulation and environmental protection

How to use

Slide the end cap over the cable end or connector so the part to be sealed is centred under the cap. Apply heat evenly using a gas torch, heat gun or controlled oven while monitoring the material as it shrinks to ensure a uniform, void-free fit. Allow the assembly to cool to room temperature before handling or applying additional mechanical supports. Follow standard safety practices when using open flames or hot air tools.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, select the correct cap size to match the cable outer diameter before shrinking and ensure the surface is clean and dry. When working with armoured or lead-jacketed cables, confirm compatibility with the cable sheath material and use appropriate bonding or sealing procedures if required. Store unused caps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material properties.
