FAK-9 Bulkhead Entry Heat Shrink Seal Kit – Thermon

Description

The FAK-9 Bulkhead Entry Heat Shrink Seal Kit is a specific type of fitting designed to provide an effective, low-profile transition and strain relief where a TubeTrace or ThermoTube bundle passes through a thin wall, such as a maximum of 25 mm (1 inch) thick enclosure or shelter wall. It uses heat-shrinkable technology to form a tight, watertight, and insulated seal.

Features

• Function: Creates a sealed bulkhead entry for tubing bundles passing through thin walls.
• Seal Mechanism: Utilizes a specialized heat-shrinkable flange assembly that conforms tightly to the bundle’s outer jacket when heat is applied, providing a watertight seal.
• Strain Relief: Provides strain relief to the bundle, protecting it from pulling forces as it passes through the wall.
• Compatibility: Used with both TubeTrace (electrically or steam heated) and ThermoTube (pre-insulated) bundles, and is available in several sizes (e.g., FAK-9S, FAK-9, FAK-9L, FAK-9LX) to fit various bundle outside diameters.
• Components: Includes a heat-shrinkable bulkhead entry flange assembly, factory-applied sealant, and an O-ring gasket.
• Temperature Rating: Maximum exposure temperature is typically 135°C (275°F).
