Panduit HSTTV05-C Heat Shrink Tubing Thin Wall VW-1

Product Description

The PANDUIT HSTTV05-C is a thin-wall heat shrink tubing rated to the VW-1 flame resistance standard. Heat shrink tubing is used to insulate, bundle, and protect wire terminations, splices, and exposed conductors. When heat is applied, the tubing conforms tightly around the substrate, creating a durable, insulating sleeve. This product is sold individually and is suited for use by licensed electricians and experienced wire harness technicians working in panel wiring, equipment assembly, and field repair applications where flame-rated sleeving is required.

This thin-wall heat shrink tubing is appropriate for residential and commercial electrical work, industrial control panels, and OEM wiring assemblies. VW-1 flame rating makes it suitable for applications where UL-recognized flame resistance is specified. The thin-wall profile allows use in tighter wire routing scenarios where bulk must be minimized. Electricians and panel builders commonly use this tubing to finish wire ends, protect insulation at terminals, and provide strain relief at connector entries.

Key Features

• VW-1 flame resistance rating meets UL recognition requirements for flame-retardant sleeving
• Thin-wall construction minimizes added bulk on finished wire assemblies
• Conforms tightly to conductors and terminals upon heat application
• Sold as individual unit for precise quantity control on service and repair jobs
• Suitable for use in panel wiring, field repair, and OEM harness assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use thin-wall heat shrink sleeving for electrical wiring applications requiring VW-1 flame-rated tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified wiring technicians. De-energize all circuits before applying heat shrink tubing to live wiring areas. Use a calibrated heat gun set to an appropriate temperature range for the tubing material — open flame torches are not recommended for precision shrink work. Follow NEC guidelines for insulation and sleeving requirements in the specific application environment.
