Electrical Tubing for Cable Protection and Management

Protect, insulate and organise cables and wiring with electrical tubing from Raptor Industrial & Safety. Our range includes practical cable protection solutions for electrical, automotive, industrial and general trade applications.

Electrical tubing helps protect wires and cables from abrasion, moisture, heat and general wear while also providing a cleaner, more organised installation.

Cable Protection Tubing

Cables and wiring can be exposed to movement, friction, heat and other environmental conditions during everyday use. The right tubing provides an additional layer of protection and can help extend the service life of cable installations.

Raptor’s electrical tubing range includes different solutions for protecting, bundling and organising wires and cables, making it easier to choose a product suited to your particular application.

Heat Shrink Tubing

Heat shrink tubing provides insulation and protection around wires, cable joins, terminals and electrical connections. When heated, the tubing contracts to form a close-fitting layer around the component.

It is commonly used for electrical repairs, cable identification, wire protection and creating a neat, professional finish around electrical connections.

Split Tubing

Split tubing provides a practical way to protect and organise existing cables and wire bundles. The split design allows cables to be inserted without disconnecting or removing existing connections, making it useful for repairs, installations and cable management.

It can help protect wiring from abrasion and general wear while keeping multiple cables grouped together.

Spiral Wrap

Spiral wrap provides flexible cable management and protection for wires and cable bundles. Its spiral design allows cables to be grouped together while still allowing individual wires to branch out where required.

This makes spiral wrap useful for installations where cables need to remain flexible or where additional wires may need to be added or removed over time.

Choosing the Right Electrical Tubing

The best tubing for your application will depend on what you need it to do.

Consider:

• Whether you need insulation, protection, bundling or cable management
• The diameter and size of the cables being covered
• Exposure to heat, moisture, abrasion or other environmental conditions
• Whether cables need to be added or removed after installation
• The level of flexibility required

For permanent insulation around electrical connections, heat shrink tubing may be suitable. For protecting existing cable bundles, split tubing or spiral wrap can provide a more flexible solution.

Electrical Tubing FAQs

What is electrical tubing used for?

Electrical tubing is used to protect, insulate, bundle and organise wires and cables. Different types of tubing are suited to different applications, including electrical connections, cable protection and cable management.

What is the difference between heat shrink tubing and split tubing?

Heat shrink tubing contracts when heated to create a close-fitting layer around a wire, connection or component. Split tubing has an opening along its length, allowing existing cables to be inserted without disconnecting them.

What is spiral wrap used for?

Spiral wrap is used to bundle and protect cables while maintaining flexibility. Its spiral construction also allows individual cables to branch out from the bundle where needed.

How do I choose the right electrical tubing?

Consider the cable size, the level of protection required, the installation environment and whether the cables need to remain accessible. The type of tubing should be selected based on the specific requirements of the application.
