Introducing
RHW
Rugged, heavy wall RHW tubing is specifically designed for insulating,
protecting and sealing electrical connections and joints in low-voltage cables.
RHW is the ideal choice whenever maximum mechanical protection is required
in an electrical insulation system. The material used to manufacture RHW is
both halogen-free and UV resistant. It provides splice insulation thickness equal
to or greater than standard wire insulation manufactured to common industry
standards.
