Compared to other tubing, HelaWrap is applied with its own applicator tool. Thanks to this, HelaWrap can be installed or removed in seconds, similar to closing or opening a zipper. Other spiral tubes are usually installed by wrapping manually. This is very simple but takes more time.
Step 1: First you should know the outside diameter of your cable bundle, because the spiral tube should be smaller than your bundle. This prevents the cables from slipping later.
Step 2: Choose a spiral wire loom of the required length or shorten it if necessary. Then start wrapping the spiral around your cable bundle and work your way to the opposite end – similar to attaching insulating tape.
Step 3: If you want to branch off single cables out of the spiral tube, do this at the appropriate place during the winding process. If you want to do this later, the spiral must be wound back to the appropriate place, unless you use the HelaWrap system.
If required, you can also unwind your spiral cable wrap completely and reuse it in another place.
Good to know: The longer the distance between the spirals during winding, the more you can bend your cables afterwards. The tighter you wind the spiral, the less flexibility you have afterwards – but the abrasion resistance is much higher.
