Hi Ioan Well, it depends(tm). Some shrink tubing has an adhesive layer inside it, to make it waterproof. This is what is used, for example, on the wiring for a pump that gets dropped down a well. If the shrink tubing used for these has that layer you are probably OK. Is there any visible p/n on the shrink tubing? And/or at the exposed edge of the tube is there any visible adhesive, usually there will be squeeze-out at the ends. If it's the non-adhesive stuff, then the answer is no... regards, - Graham -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ioan Tempea Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 1:02 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Cable wash Dear Technos, Could I say that shrink tubing is water proof? Otherwise said, I have this coax cable (connector - cable - connector) which has shrink tubing over both cable-connector junctions and wonder if it could pass through our in-line washer. What mainly bugs me is one of the connectors has a square body and with all those edges and corners I wonder how tight the tube can shrink around it. What I dread is not only water could seep under the tubing, but this could be dirty, ionic active water. Thanks, Ioan Tempea, ing.
