3M COLD SHRINK CABLE JOINTS, CABLE TERMINATIONS & CABLE ABANDONMENT
3M Cold Shrink Cable Joints, Cable Terminations, Cable Abandonment
3M Cold Shrink ……..There is no Equivalent
Modern 3M Cold Shrink technology has replaced traditional heat shrink as the specification standard for cable abandonment, jointing and terminating of LV-HV cables in the oil, gas, petrochemical, utility and construction industries.
3M Cold Shrink cable joints, terminations and abandonment kits offer faster, safer and simpler installations without the dangers and hassles of “hot-working” - no naked flames, no gas torches, no ignition tooling, no “hot-work” permit applications.
Instant Energisation - Minimised Power Interruptions
3M Cold Shrink joints and terminations allow immediate power restoration during utility fault work, unplanned outages or planned shutdowns – no “curing” or “cooling” delays associated with resin or heat shrink cable jointing.

3M Cold Shrink Cable End Caps.
3M Cold Shrink end caps environmentally seal and mechanically protect exposed cable ends using no tools, mastics or tapes. They are close-ended, tubular rubber sleeves that are factory expanded and loaded onto a removable core. When positioned over the end of a cable, or other cylindrical object, the cable end cap core is removed to provide a reliable seal that protects your cable ends from environmental damage including moisture, contamination, corrosion, ozone, ultra-violet and radiation.

3M Cold Shrink Tubes.
3M PST Cold Shrink tubes are a series of open-ended, tubular rubber sleeves, which are factory expanded and assembled onto a removable core. 3M Cold Shrink tubes are supplied for field installation in this pre-stretched condition - the core is removed after the Cold Shrink tube has been positioned for installation over an inline connection, terminal lug, cable etc allowing the tube to shrink and form a waterproof seal - no torches or heat required.

3M Cold Shrink for the Construction Industry.
'Don't play with fire - Stay cool with 3M'
Construction site fires cost lives, reputation and money – careless “hot-working” associated with heat shrink cable jointing is identified by the HSE as a serious contributor to fire risk.
3M Cold Shrink eliminates dangerous “hot-working” for safer LV-HV cable installations.
3M Cold Shrink for the Oil, Gas & Petrochemical Industry .
“Taking the Heat out of Hazardous Areas”
Heat shrink cable jointing needs naked flames – this poses serious H&S “hot-working” dangers.
Air, naked flames and the presence of atmospheric combustible substances trigger the Ignition Triangle.
Throughout the world specifiers, lead electrical engineers and their clients demand 3M Cold Shrink – a first class safety and service record without any hidden dangers.
