FIT Wire Management
Solutions
General-Purpose Tubing
Our range of tubing includes
traditional solid PVC tubing to
convoluted slit loom tubing
and spiral wrap. Our Zipper
Tubing™ provides a professional
finish to wiring installations
by eliminating exposed wiring
and providing added protection
against flame, chemicals,
and abrasion.
Flexible PTFE Tubing
To improve the reliability of
cable harnesses, PTFE tubing
provides a heat and abrasion
resistant wire insulator
under the most adverse
conditions. With an unmatched
temperature range, exceptional
abrasion resistance, and
excellent dielectric properties,
it maintains flexibility over its
entire temperature range. Alpha
oers both standard-wall and
space-saving thin-wall versions.
Fiberglass Sleeving
Our fiberglass sleeving
is used to provide extra
protection for cable in a tough
external environment, fitting
comfortably over wire and
cable without needing to be
shrunk to size first. Combining
flexibility with excellent
abrasion resistance and high-
temperature performance,
our fiber glass sleeving is
available uncoated or coated
with acrylic, PCV, or silicone
to provide the best match to
application requirements.
Woven Sleeving
Our expandable and
nonexpendable woven
sleeving gives you the range
of performance you need for
applications running from
general purpose to extreme
of abrasion, chemicals, and
temperature. With eleven
families, woven in dierent
braid densities from materials
ranging from PVC and nylon
to PPS and PTFE, finding
the right sleeving for your
application is easy.
Lacing Tape
Alpha lacing tapes oer high
tensile strength, flexibility, and
knot retention, maintaining
a wide contact area with the
insulation so that it remains
in place. Nylon has excellent
tensile strength and resists
acids, abrasion, flame, and
fungus. Polyester has all the
characteristics of nylon, but has
better resistance to acids, and
no appreciable discoloration.
