Applications for Heli-Tube®

Organizes and bundles wires
Heli-Tube® is plastic tubing that is spirally cut to create an expandable cable harness. It is available in a wide variety of materials and sizes.
  • Bundles wires, cables, hoses, and tubing firmly but allows flexibility
  • Functional and decorative, it wraps on like tape and can be reused quickly and simply
  • Permits breakouts in any orientation and it is easy to route or reroute
  • Resists abrasion, dampens vibration, organizes, and insulates
  • Clamps bundles to standoffs and robotic components
  • Available in colors for special identification requirements
  • Can be supplied forward cut and reverse cut
  • Certificates of conformance and certificates to various applicable Military Specifications can be provided

Protects hoses from abrasion



Flexible for robotic applications



Decorates, protects, and identifies
UL recognized component listed under category UZKX2, Component Wire Positioning Devices. Our file card number is E83405 (M).

Standard Material Descriptions:

Natural Polyethylene
Ideal for general applications, this low-cost material is highly abrasion resistant and is not affected by most solvents.

Polyethylene in Colors
Used for identification, coding and decoration, includes red, white, blue, yellow, orange, gray, brown, purple and green. Day-Glo colors include orange, green, yellow, pink, and phosphorescent light green (glows in dark). Colors are not completely UV stabalized and may not be availabe from stock in all sizes; consult factory.

Ultraviolet-Resistant Black Polyethylene
Has the same properties as natural polyethylene while also being ultraviolet-resistant which permits it to be used outdoors in direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Fire-Resistant White Polyethylene
Suitable for applications requiring a self-extinguishing material that costs less than TFE.

Fire-Resistant Black Polyethylene
Features the same properties as Fire-Resistant White Polyethylene.

Nylon
Natural Nylon is self-extinguishing and does not produce any toxic or irritating byproducts, even when exposed to an open flame or excessive operating temperatures. Recommended for use in enclosed environments where the possibility of fire exists, this material is also lightweight, highly abrasion-resistant, and operates over a wide temperature range.

Black Nylon
Features the same properties as Natural Nylon with the added benefit of an ultraviolet absorber so that it can be used in direct sunlight for long periods of time.

TFE
Natural (TFE) features the widest operating temperature range of any of our materials and can be used from -450°F to +500°F. Chemically inert and non-flammable, it is also available in black and a wide selection of colors.
