FAQs
What is the maximum number of cables this can bundle?
The maximum number of cables depends on their individual diameters. The Helawrap is designed to accommodate a total bundle diameter of 13mm to 16mm.
Is the applicator tool reusable?
Yes, the applicator tool is designed for multiple uses and is included with the product to assist with application.
Can this product be used outdoors?
The polypropylene material offers good resistance to environmental factors. However, prolonged exposure to direct UV sunlight may degrade the plastic over time. It is suitable for a wide temperature range, but extreme conditions should be monitored.
What is the difference between this Helawrap and a cable tie?
Helawrap provides a continuous, flexible wrap that allows for easy cable branching and re-use, whereas cable ties are typically single-use and require cutting to remove.
What is the wall thickness of this Helawrap?
The wall thickness of this Helawrap is 0.8mm.
How do I clean the Helawrap if it gets dirty?
You can clean the Helawrap with a damp cloth. Avoid using strong solvents or abrasive cleaners which could damage the material.
Is this product available in other colors or sizes?
Yes, HellermannTyton offers the Helawrap range in various colors and sizes to suit different applications and aesthetic preferences.
Troubleshooting
Helawrap is difficult to wrap around cables.
Ensure the cables are neatly aligned before starting. If the bundle is too large, consider using a larger diameter Helawrap or splitting the cables into smaller bundles. Use the applicator tool correctly by applying even pressure.
Cables are slipping out from the wrap.
Make sure the Helawrap is applied tightly enough. If branching cables, ensure the opening is not too large for the remaining bundle.
The material feels brittle in cold conditions.
While rated for -60°C, extreme cold can affect flexibility. Allow the material to warm slightly before attempting to wrap or unwrap if possible.
Unable to branch a cable at a specific point.
Ensure the cut or opening in the Helawrap is made along the designated profile lines. Sometimes, re-positioning the wrap slightly can help align the branching point.
