Heat Shrink Tubing 6 in 33096

The Heat Shrink Tubing 6 in (part# 33096) is the genuine Tacony OEM insulating sleeve used on the wiring of the Tornado CK 3030 wide-area vacuum (Model 93030).

Heat shrink is applied over a crimped joint or a splice and then warmed so it contracts tightly onto the conductor, restoring the insulation the connection interrupted. Inside a metal-bodied machine carrying mains voltage that is a safety function, not a tidiness one: bare copper at a joint that vibrates against a chassis is how a machine develops an intermittent fault and then a live housing. The 6 in length is supplied so a technician can cut what each joint needs.

Use new tubing on every repair — it is single-use, because once shrunk it cannot be slid off and re-fitted without cutting it away. Slide it onto the wire before making the crimp (the classic mistake is crimping first and discovering the sleeve is on the wrong side), position it to cover the full metal barrel and a little insulation each side, then heat evenly until it grips. Replace any existing sleeve that is split, charred or loose.
