Low Voltage Heat Shrink
Termination Kit
Heat shrink termination kits for 1.1kV low voltage XLPE and PVC cables — armoured and unarmoured, single-core and multi-core. Provides moisture-proof, UV-resistant terminations for LV distribution, industrial and solar applications.
LV Heat Shrink Termination Kits — Overview
Low voltage heat shrink termination kits provide a clean, professional and weatherproof termination for 1.1kV cables entering distribution panels, switchboards, LT meters, DG sets and other LV equipment. They replace the older method of using PVC tape wrapping — which degrades rapidly in outdoor conditions and is prone to moisture ingress at the cable-equipment interface.
VIKCHEM's LV termination kits use adhesive-lined heat shrink tubes that bond directly to the cable jacket when heated, creating a hermetic seal that keeps moisture out even in partially submerged or flood-prone cable pits. Available for single-core, 3-core, 3.5-core, 4-core and 5-core armoured and unarmoured XLPE, PVC and FRLS cables.
Compatible Cable Types
XLPE Armoured (SWA)
Steel wire armoured XLPE — most common underground LV distribution cable.
XLPE Unarmoured
Light-duty indoor and outdoor XLPE cables for service connections.
PVC / FRLS Armoured
PVC insulated armoured cables used in older LV distribution networks.
Aluminium Conductor
AL conductor cables — most common in DISCOM LV overhead and underground.
Copper Conductor
CU conductor cables for industrial, solar and high-reliability applications.
3.5-core / 4-core / 5-core
Multi-core LV cables with separate neutral and earth conductors.
Installation Steps
Prepare the Cable End
Cut cable to length, remove outer jacket and armour (if present) to required dimensions as per kit instructions.
Slide on Outer Sleeve
Slide the overall heat shrink sleeve over the cable before making conductor connections.
Fit Phase Sleeves
Slide individual phase identification tubes (Red, Yellow, Blue, Black) over each conductor.
Apply Heat
Using a heat gun, shrink all tubes from centre outward. The adhesive lining melts to create a moisture-proof bond with the cable jacket.
Connect and Test
Complete conductor connections to panel or equipment, then carry out insulation resistance test before energisation.
