Over 25 years ago, 3M pioneered cold shrink
technology. Since then, field use and laboratory analysis have
repeatedly proven its merits and reliability. Through constant
innovation, we have refined cold shrink products making them better
than ever. They're easier to apply and built to withstand even the
most punishing environmental conditions. Enhanced performance at a
lower installed cost continues to make 3M the preferred choice for
cold shrink solutions.
3M Cold Shrink QT-II and the QT-III are supplied pre-stretched
on a removable core. Removal of the core (unwind) after positioning
the termination allows the product to shrink into position,
providing a tight seal.
3M Cold Shrink terminations offer easy installation and reliable
performance when terminating indoor and outdoor medium voltage
cable.
QT-II and QT-III Cold Shrink silicone rubber is specifically
formulated as a high track resistant material with hydrophobicity
(water repelling action) to ensure a long life expectancy.
These Cold Shrink terminations are lightweight for either
free-hanging or bracket mounting arrangements.
3M offers you two options for choosing a Cold Shrink
Termination. The QT-III utilises the latest technology with
built-in Hi-K stress controlling mastic and silicone sealing mastic
resulting in a much more user-friendly application.
The QT-II offers many of the same advantages and benefits as the
QT-III but does require several additional steps during
installation.
