Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DROSSBACH from 3G Electric.
What materials are available for DROSSBACH split loom tubing?
DROSSBACH split loom tubing is offered in two primary materials: polyethylene and nylon. Polyethylene tubing provides good flexibility, chemical resistance, and outdoor durability at a lower cost. Nylon tubing offers higher tensile strength, better temperature tolerance, and enhanced abrasion resistance, making it suitable for more demanding environments such as automotive or industrial machinery. Both materials are rated for outdoor use and are chemically resistant.
What nominal sizes does DROSSBACH split loom tubing come in?
DROSSBACH split loom tubing is available in nominal sizes from 3/8 in to 3 1/2 in. Common sizes include 3/8 in, 1/2 in, 5/8 in, 1 in, 1 1/2 in, 2 in, 2 1/2 in, and 3 1/2 in. Each size has a specified inside diameter range and wall thickness range. For example, the 3/8 in tubing has an inside diameter of 0.34 in to 0.38 in and wall thickness of 0.01 in to 0.08 in, while the 3 1/2 in tubing has an inside diameter of 3.48 in to 3.56 in and wall thickness of 0.02 in to 0.18 in.
Can DROSSBACH split loom tubing be used outdoors?
Yes, DROSSBACH split loom tubing is rated for outdoor use. Both polyethylene and nylon variants are designed to withstand exposure to sunlight, moisture, and temperature variations. The tubing is chemically resistant, which adds protection against environmental contaminants. For outdoor installations, the corrugated structure provides UV resistance and prevents degradation from prolonged sun exposure, though specific UV ratings should be verified for extreme conditions.
How is DROSSBACH split loom tubing installed?
DROSSBACH split loom tubing features a longitudinal slit along its length, allowing it to be opened and placed over existing wire bundles without disconnecting connectors. The tubing can be cut to length using standard cutters or shears. For new installations, wires can be fed through the tubing before termination. The corrugated design provides flexibility for routing around corners and obstacles. No specialized tools are required for installation.
What lengths are DROSSBACH split loom tubing coils available in?
DROSSBACH split loom tubing is supplied in continuous coils with lengths ranging from 100 ft to 1,900 ft per coil, depending on the nominal size and material. For example, the 3/8 in polyethylene tubing is available in 1,900 ft coils, while the 3 1/2 in polyethylene tubing comes in 300 ft coils. Nylon variants typically have shorter coil lengths, such as 100 ft for 1/2 in nylon tubing. These long lengths reduce the need for joints in long cable runs.
What is the wall thickness range for DROSSBACH split loom tubing?
The wall thickness of DROSSBACH split loom tubing varies by nominal size and material. For polyethylene tubing, wall thickness ranges from 0.01 in (for smaller sizes like 3/8 in) to 0.18 in (for larger sizes like 3 1/2 in). Nylon tubing has a similar range, with wall thickness from 0.01 in to 0.15 in. The thicker walls on larger diameters provide increased crush resistance and mechanical protection for heavier cable bundles.
