Helawrap HAT Series, Spiral Wrap, Expandable Sleeving

Split tubing is a protective sleeve used across various industries to protect cables, wires, or hoses from damage. The tubing is made of hollow tubes of plastic or other materials having both ends open. These tubes are split down their length, creating an opening that allows the tubing to be easily wrapped around the cables, wires, or hoses. The split in the tubing can be closed either by tucking the seam into or over the tube or by incorporating a spiral cut along the length of the tube, allowing the tubing to expand and contract as needed. This flexibility is particularly useful for protecting items that may expand or contract due to changes in temperature or pressure. A special tool, known as a split tubing tool or applicator, is available to simplify the installation process. This tool features a handle and a split tubing holder, along with a sharp blade for cutting the tubing to the desired length. The tool securely holds the split tubing in place, guiding it into position and ensuring a secure and efficient installation. Split tubing plays an essential role in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, construction, and electronics. It protects cables, wires, or hoses from environmental factors such as moisture, heat, and abrasion, reducing the risk of tangling or damage and promoting the efficient operation of equipment and machinery. In summary, split tubing is a practical and versatile solution for safeguarding cables, wires, or hoses from potential damage. Its flexibility and ease of installation make it a popular choice across multiple industries, and its ability to protect against environmental factors ensures optimal performance and longevity of protected components.
