Terminal Sleeves     

O.K. ... two weeks of wire ... time to move to sleeves. At the end of the Watt-Flex® cartridge heater we have a hollow core pin into which the wire is crimped. Since the wire insulation cannot be extended over this, we must sleeve it for electrical isolation. This is accomplished with a short length of sleeving from 7/8" (smaller diameters) to 1-1/8" long for 1/2" diameter and up.

    Standard Temperature Sleeve

Standard temperature wire is sleeved with a red colored silicone rubber coated woven fiberglass. This sleeving provides the best insulation and can be simply inserted into the terminal cavity or installed into RTV potting for superior contamination protection. The high temperature wire receives a blue woven fiberglass sleeving with a high temperature binder. This is rated to 840°F (450°C) along with the high temp. wire insulation and is also inserted into the terminal cavity.

    High Temperature Sleeve

If the temperature rating is more extreme, a tan-colored VHT (very high temperature) sleeving can be utilized. This sleeving is woven fiberglass like the blue high temp. but has a binder that is rated to 1600°F.

A little girl asked her mother, 'How did the human race appear?'

The mother answered, 'God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so was all mankind made.'

Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, 'Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.'

The confused girl returned to her mother and said, 'Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?'

The mother answered, 'Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his.'
