FAQs
What is the diameter of the HellermannTyton 161-64204 Helawrap?
The Helawrap has a diameter of approximately 1.4 cm when applied, and it is 15mm wide.
How long is the Helawrap cable cover?
This specific product comes in a length of 2 meters.
Can I cut the Helawrap to a shorter length?
Yes, you can cut the Helawrap to any desired length using scissors or a knife. Ensure the cut edge is clean to maintain effectiveness.
What material is the Helawrap made from?
It is made from Polypropylene (PP) and is halogen-free.
Does it come with an applicator tool?
Yes, the HellermannTyton 161-64204 Helawrap includes a handy applicator tool to assist with installation.
Can I use this for outdoor applications?
While it offers good abrasion protection, it is primarily designed for indoor or protected environments. Prolonged exposure to UV light and extreme weather conditions may degrade the material over time.
How do I bundle cables with different thicknesses using this Helawrap?
The flexible profile allows it to accommodate varying cable thicknesses within its capacity. Simply ensure all cables are within the 1.4 cm diameter limit when bundled.
Troubleshooting
Helawrap is difficult to apply
Ensure the applicator tool is correctly positioned and inserted into the Helawrap's opening before sliding. If wrapping manually, start with a firm grip and allow the material's natural coil to assist.
Cables won't branch out smoothly
Gently push the cable through the Helawrap's profile. If resistance is met, ensure the cable path is clear and the Helawrap is not overly stretched or twisted at that point. Re-positioning the Helawrap slightly might help.
Helawrap doesn't stay closed
Ensure the Helawrap is fully coiled around the bundle. If it seems loose, try wrapping it tighter or consider if the bundle is too large for the 15mm diameter.
Material seems worn after multiple re-applications
While designed for reusability, excessive or forceful manipulation can cause wear. Inspect the material for damage; if significantly worn, it may need replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Quick and easy to apply, saving installation time.
Provides good protection against abrasion and physical damage.
Allows for flexible cable entry/exit points along the entire length.
Reusable, making it adaptable for changing cable configurations.
Includes a tool to aid in application and removal.
Halogen-free material enhances safety in certain environments.
Cons
Comes in a fixed 2-meter length, which may require joining for very long cable runs.
The 15mm diameter may be too small for very thick bundles of cables.
Primarily designed for bundling, not for heavy-duty industrial protection against liquids or extreme temperatures.
While reusable, repeated stress on the material could eventually lead to wear.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Gather all the cables you wish to bundle.
Align the Helawrap's opening along the starting point of your cable bundle.
Using the provided applicator tool, guide the Helawrap around the cables, or simply press the opening onto the cables and slide the tool along the length to wrap it.
Continue sliding the tool to fully enclose the cables. The wrap will naturally coil around the bundle.
To branch a cable, simply push it through the Helawrap's profile at the desired location.
Compatibility:
This Helawrap is suitable for bundling various types of low-voltage and standard electrical cables.
Its 15mm width and 1.4cm diameter are best suited for medium-sized cable bundles.
Compatible with most standard electrical installations in domestic, office, automotive, and light industrial environments.
Care:
Clean the Helawrap using a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
If the wrap becomes distorted, it can be carefully unwrapped and reapplied. For best results with reapplication, ensure the material is not excessively creased or damaged.
