LIGHTWEIGHT
• 20% to 30% lighter than standard
-25 parts
VERSATILE
• Part of System 25 harnessing
components
• Resists most common military fuels,
oils, and greases
• Abrasion resistant
• Meets the requirements of
VG 95343 Parts 6 and 18
EASE OF USE
• Optimized interior geometry
speeds installation time
• Faster recovery than TE’s traditional
molded boots
APPLICATIONS
• MilitaryGround Systems
• Aerospace
• Marine
INSTALITE boots are a lighter weight alternative of our -25
heat-shrink boots. Utilizing our expertise in fluid-resistant,
modified elastomers, we’ve created semi-rigid, abrasion-resistant
boots that are up to 30% lighter than our standard -25 boots.
INSTALITE boots oer the same balance of high-temperature fluid
resistance and long-term heat resistance.
