Protection Products Fluid Management Catalog 1654296-3 Revised 10-2012 Automotive Hose and Pipe Protection AP-2000 Tubing Cost-effective anti-noise, abrasion and corrosion protection for automotive brake and air-conditioning lines. AP-2000 Tubing AP-2000 is designed for use on industry standard metal pipes to provide protection on automotive brake and fuel lines in areas exposed to mechanical abuse and moisture. The product is positioned on straight pipe lengths prior to the second end-nut fitting. 62 Benefits Each size of AP-2000 tubing has been designed for use on specific standard size of metal pipe. The product rapidly shrinks on application of heat above 115 C and the adhesive melts and flows around the substrate, eliminating air gaps. Once installed, the pipes are bent and formed. All specifications subject to change. Consult TE Connectivity for latest specifications. n Adds protection only where it is needed - minimising costs compared to whole pipe dip-coats. n One size fits a range of pipes minimising inventory costs. n Easier, lower cost installation compared to dip-coat processes - simple heat-shrink process using hot air, convection or infrared equipment. n Reduced production times - as pipes can be formed after heat-shrink tubing is installed. n Moistureproof sealing - hotmelt adhesive flows between tubing and pipe, preventing any moisture from coming into contact with the pipe. n RoHS/ELV compliant Protection Products Fluid Management Catalog 1654296-3 Revised 10-2012 Dual-Wall Polyolefin Heat-Shrinkable Tubing to Protect Automotive Metal Pipework Product Features W AP-2000 Tubing n Minimum shrink temperature: 110C n Minimum full recovery temperature: 115C d D n Continuous operating temperature from -40C up to +80C Product Dimensions Size Standard Pipe Diameter mm Inside Diameter Wall Thickness D (min) Expanded as Supplied mm W (nom) Recovered Ordering Description after Heating mm 64.766.0 1.0 AP2000-6 86.358.0 1.0 AP2000-8 108.00 10.0 1.0 AP2000-10 10.00 15.0 1.0 AP2000-15 NR1014.85 14.0 1.0 AP2000-NR101 NR1023.505.0 1.0 AP2000-NR102 15 The size that corresponds to the pipe diameter shown in the table above should be ordered.
