Heat-Shrink Tube

Printable heat-shrink tube for wire and cable marking – 24 Epson LabelWorks part numbers covering 3mm to 21mm tube, wire ranges from AWG 22 up to AWG 0000, in cassette, bulk and roll put-ups. Please call for pricing and availability.

Pick by wire size, not by tube diameter

The quickest way to the right part number is the wire range printed on it, because that is what the tube has to recover onto. The range runs: AWG 16-22 (3mm), AWG 8-12 and AWG 10-18 (5mm), AWG 6-18 (6mm and the bulk 8ST numbers), AWG 4-12 (10mm), AWG 2-8 (11mm), AWG 0-5 (14mm) and AWG 0000-1 (21mm). Ordering by millimetres alone is where most wrong orders start – a 5mm tube and a 6mm tube cover overlapping but not identical gauges.

Three put-ups, three jobs

• Cassette, 98 inch (and 90 inch on 210STBWPX-90) – the ordinary printer cassette, for panel work and one-off harnesses.
• Bulk B20, 15M – continuous tube for a shop marking in volume, where changing cassettes every few feet is the bottleneck.
• Bulk-LD rolls, 400 or 500 pieces – pre-cut sleeves at 25mm and 35mm length, for production lines that mark the same wire over and over.

Colours on the shelf

Black on white and black on yellow across almost the whole range, plus black on red at 5mm and 11mm, white on black at 5mm and 11mm for dark harnesses, and black on blue at 5mm. Yellow is the usual choice where the mark has to be found quickly in a loom; white reads best under a photograph in a service manual.
