RP-4800 Highly expanded, polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing RP-4800 is a radiation-crosslinked transitions and allows for easy requirements. It is highly abrasion- polyolefin material with a 4:1 harness assembly and repair. This resistant and shows no significant expansion ratio. It was developed for heat-shrinkable, flexible, flame- degradation when exposed to a wide range of applications where a retardant tubing is also compatible common solvents and chemicals, large expansion is required, such as with Raychem adhesives, providing a including aviation fuel and hydraulic fluid. harness repair. This high expansion complete environmental seal. simplifies installation and speeds RP-4800 tubing remains flexible at repairs. The high expansion of RP-4800 tubing has excellent low temperatures and, for short periods, RP-4800 tubing eliminates the need physical and mechanical properties can withstand temperatures of up to to remove connectors or large that meet both military and industrial 300C without dripping or flowing. Temperature rating Full recovery temperature: 121C Continuous operating temperature: 55C to 135C Specifications* Type Raychem Military UL RP-4800 RT-1122 AMS-DTL-23053/5, Class 1 E35586 *When ordering, always specify latest issue.
