High-Temperature Expandable Sleeving
Protect cable, hose, and pipe from abrasion and cuts in high temperature environments—this sleeving withstands temperatures over 450° F. It expands to fit over items for easy installation; sleeving then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate.
PTFE and PEEK sleeving withstand chemicals and salt water, so they can be used in extreme environments where cable and hose need protection from harsh fluids, such as in chemical plants and in oil and gas production. It has better abrasion and tear resistance than fiberglass sleeving. PTFE sleeving also withstands acids and solvents. PEEK is lighter in weight than PTFE, and more cost efficient.
Flame rated VW-1 sleeving meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Duct-Rated Flame-Retardant Expandable Sleeving
Rated UL 2024 and NFPA 262 for use in plenum spaces such as duct work and above a drop ceiling, this sleeving self-extinguishes and emits minimal amounts of smoke and gas during combustion. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Made of ECTFE, it protects contents from corrosive chemicals and organic solvents as the sleeving exits the duct. It’s expandable, so it stretches to fit over items for easy installation, then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate.

Chemical-Resistant Tube Sleeving
Made of PVC, this sleeving resists chemicals, oil, and acids. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Because this sleeving is non-expandable, it does not stretch, so it’s best for applications where you know the exact diameter of the items you need to protect.

Interference-Shielding Wrap-Around Sleeving
Use this shielded sleeving to protect wire and cable from signal distortion caused by nearby equipment and devices. A sewn-in ground wire dissipates any stored charge. It provides good protection against abrasion. Wrap it around wire and cable without disconnecting them; sleeving has a slit along the entire length. Sleeving with an adhesive strip closure is permanently sealed when the adhesive is applied. Sleeving with foil shielding is for use in stationary applications. Repeated flexing will damage the foil. Polyurethane rubber sleeving provides excellent resistance to solvents, oil, and grease.
Flame rated VW-1 sleeving meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Armored Building Cable with Uninsulated Ground Wire
- Use For: Buildings
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: 15° to 190° F
- Insulation:
Outer: Aluminum Armor
Inner: PVC Plastic
Also known as AC cable, this cable has an uninsulated aluminum ground wire that's in constant contact with the aluminum armor, so it can be used for bonding and grounding. The uninsulated ground wire is not counted in the number of wires. The armor acts as conduit to protect the THHN building wires. It's often used along the exterior of walls to carry power to outlet boxes. All are flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Armored Fire Alarm Cable
- Use For: Buildings
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -10° to 190° F
- Insulation:
Outer: Aluminum Armor
Inner: Nylon Plastic, PVC Plastic
Prevent damage to wires for fire alarm systems, smoke detectors, and other critical circuits with this armored cable. Also known as metal clad (MC) cable, the metal armor acts as a conduit to protect the wires inside. The PVC inner insulation resists flames. Its nylon jacket is low smoke, so it can be used without conduit in duct work, under raised floors, and above a drop ceiling. This cable has a ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.
Hazardous location environmental ratings indicate whether manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in a hazardous environment. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it’s rated for your environment.
Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.
