1. Select the proper size CRLS sleeve con-sidering the diameter and necessarylength of coverage. Allow a minimum of 3”length overlap on each end of the area tobe covered.
2. Remove the plastic release liner andpaper mask from the inside of the sleeveexposing the translucent adhesive andadhesive flap. Use caution, so as to onlyremove the liner and not the excess flap ofadhesive. This flap is approximately 2” inwidth, located at the end near the butylhold down strip (see Figure 1).
Figure 1
3. Wrap the CRLS sleeve ‘loosely’ around thecable, forming a tube, so that the adhesiveis on the inside. Tuck the end of the sleevein behind the excess flap of adhesive sothat the adhesive forms the tube aroundthe cable (see Figure 2).
Figure 2
4. Remove the paper protection covering thebutyl hold down strip (see Figure 3). Pressthe butyl hold down strip onto the sleeve inthe desired location and using the palm ofyour hand or a rubber roller, apply firmpressure to hold in place (see Figure 4).
Figure 3
Figure 4
5. Using a broad colorless or yellow flame(DO NOT USE A CONCENTRATED BLUEFLAME), begin heating below the areamarked “HEAT HERE FIRST” which runsalong the length of the sleeve (see Figure5). Heat the indicated area with a brushingmotion until a slight wrinkle occurs. Oncethe sleeve begins to recover, move theflame over the flap, along the entire lengthof the sleeve. Do this in the same manneras described earlier being careful not toapply too much heat between the factoryweld and the area above the butyl strip.
Figure 5
6. Continue shrinking the sleeve from thecenter towards one end, applying heatalong the flap area and in a circular motionaround the sleeve (see Figure 6). Whileshrinking, check the flap to ensure goodcontact. If the flap joint is not flush orbegins to curl during the shrinking process,re-apply pressure to the flap joint. Whenthe sleeve has adequately recovered,sealant will flow from the end and sealcircumferentially.
Figure 6
7. Repeat the same procedure, shrinkingfrom the center towards the other end untilthe sleeve has completely recovered.
8. Finally, apply the same additional heatover the flap closure area marked “HEATHERE FIRST” using end-to-end strokesand if required, possibly a small amount ofpressure to ensure a proper weld (seeFigure 7.)

GENERAL1. Always comply with the following installa-
tion procedure. Failure to do so can resultin fire, explosion, and serious or fatal injury.
2. Consult the product data sheet for theappropriate wraparound sleeve type, sizeand recommended length for the specificapplication.
OPERATION OF TORCH1. Always us a clean burning Propane or
MAPP torch. Canusa’s CTCH or equivalentis recommended.
2. Always provide good ventilation for con-fined workspaces.
3. Consult your company hot work safety proce-dures before using an open flame.
4. Always use the outside 3 to 4 inch tip ofthe flame for contact with the heat shrinkproduct.
5. Always keep the flame moving with a smoothbrushing motion around the circumferenceand along the length of the sleeve.
6. Always start shrinking at the middle of thesleeve and work towards each end.
7. If the sleeve is not uniformly recovered, asevidenced by non-uniform wall thickness ordimpling, reheating the area will ensure fullrecovery.
8. Do not handle the sleeving after recovery,until sufficiently cooled.

1. The cable, etc. should be relativelyclean and free of greases, oils, andother foreign substances.
2. It is best to overlap each wrap of tapeby 1/4 to 1/2 the width for the best seal.
3. When using heat shrinkable productsmost applications require only 1 or 2layers of tape prior to sliding tubing inplace.
4. Shrink the tubing, cap, boot, etc. following the installation procedure forthe applicable heat shrinkable part.
To seal the junction or crotch of appli-cation requiring two or more cables,conductors, etc. without a commonjacket.1. Apply the overlapped 1 or 2 layers
around each cable, conductor, etc. atthe same distance from the connectoror, ball up the sealant and press intocrotch or junction of the joint.
2. Apply 2 overlapping wraps over thebundle.

The MSCV20 is a first generation completelywaterproof multi-splice insulator which con-sists of only two parts, an elastomeric bootwith two tapered cable entry protrusions and ahard plastic cover cup. When mated with theelastomeric boot the cover cap providesdurable mechanical protection as well as awater tight installation. The insulator isdesigned for pigtail applications and can beused anywhere. Installs in seconds loweringthe installed cost, versus conventional methods.Medium voltage (5kV) multi-splice insulator• Water tight• Flame retardant• Flexible boot• Impact resistant cap• 5 to 10kV @ 90°C• Range taking• Reusable• Fast-easy to use• Inexpensive• Dependable
Medium Voltage Motor Stub Splice Insulator
Lets you insulate and waterproof motorlead connections up to 5 kV to 10 kV —quickly, dependably.• Installs in seconds• Waterproof and abrasion resistant• One size fits all hookups — reduces
inventory• Allows easy inspection of connection• Long lasting and reusable• Quality engineered
This insulator is designed to give you aquick, dependable means of protectingmedium voltage motor stub splice con-nections up to 5kV to 10kV. You caninstall it in seconds simply by pushingthe cover and boot together. Onceinstalled, it completely waterproofs theconnection and provides excellent pro-tection against abrasion or mechanicalabuse.
One size reduces inventory.The insulator accommodates wire sizes#8-2/0 AWG having outer diameters of.375 to .840. This range-taking featureshould accommodate all of your mediumvoltage motor hookups.
Inspectable and reusable.The insulator consists of just twoparts: an elastomer boot and thermo
plastic cap. The boot has two tapered cable entry legs that fit snuggly aroundthe cable to form a watertight seal. Thelegs are designed to be trimmed duringinstallation to tightly fit the required cablesize. The cap simply pushes into agroove in the boot — and pulls out easi-ly when you want to inspect the connec-tion. Removal of the cap does not disturbthe seal around the cables nor does itinterrupt the bolted splice connection.
Quality engineered.The boot is made of flexible, abrasion-resistant elastomer; the cap of highimpact-resistant thermoplastic—highperformance materials you can dependon. Use the insulator for pigtail applica-tions in motor junction boxes, manholes,or wherever a waterproof, impact-resistantinsulator is required.
