Safety Instructions
When installing electrical power system accessories,
failure to follow applicable personal safety
requirements and written installation instructions could result in fire
or explosion and serious or fatal injuries.
To avoid risk of accidental fire or explosion when
using gas torches, always check all connections for
leaks before igniting the torch and follow the torch manufacturer's
safety instructions.
To minimize any effect of fumes produced during

Recommended Tyco Electronics Torches
Install heat-shrinkable cable accessories with a "clean burning" torch,
i.e., a propane torch that does not deposit conductive contaminants
on the product.
Clean burning torches include the Tyco Electronics FH-2629,
FH-2649 (uses refillable propane cylinders) and FH-2618A (uses
disposable cylinder).
Adjusting the Torch
Adjust regulator and torch as required to provide an overall 12- inch
bushy flame. The FH-2629 will be all blue, the other torches will have
a 3- to 4-inch yellow tip. Use the yellow tip for shrinking.

General Shrinking Instructions
• Apply outer 3- to 4-inch tip of the flame to heat-shrinkable material
with a rapid brushing motion
• Keep flame moving to avoid scorching
• Unless otherwise instructed, start shrinking tube at center,
working flame around all sides of the tube to apply uniform heat
To determine if a tube has completely recovered, look for the follow-
ing, especially on the back and underside of the tube:
1. Uniform wall thickness
2. Conformance to substrate
3. No flat spots or chill marks
4. Visible sealant flow if the tube is coated
When installing multiple tubes, make sure that the
surface of the last tube is still warm before positioning
and shrinking the next tube. If installed tube has cooled, re-heat the
entire surface.
