Overview

Complete, 360-degree protection and bundling
abrasion-resistant, ozone-resistant, microorganism-resistant jacketing
UL-rated for flammability, meeting UL 94 V-0

Z flex® (TPU) features the thermoplastic polyurethane film and a nylon cloth leader. The TPU jacketing is halogen free, making this material a viable option for medical industry applications. The jacketing is UL-rated with meeting UL 94 V-0 for flame retardancy. Additionally, the TPU offers superior abrasion resistance, as well as being resistant to ozone damage (Stage 0, “Crack Free”) and microorganisms. The nylon cloth leader allows for an easier installation; just wrap the oxford leader around wires or cables and pull-through. The double heat-sealed edges provide complete protection of components inside from debris, fluids, and other harsh environmental conditions.

Z flex® (TPU) is supplied in spool form, and can be cut to any length needed. Z flex® (TPU) is offered for diameters ranging from 1.625” to 3.5”, with custom sizes available upon request. The operational temperature range is 67°F to 225°F (-55°C to 107°C).

Installation Instructions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What lengths of Z Flex jacketing are available?

A: Typical spool lengths for most sizes are 100 feet, but will depend on total order footage. Custom lengths can be provided, just make sure to ask when ordering or include details on the PO for the lengths required.

Q: Can I cut the tubing?

A: Yes. Standard scissors are suitable for cutting through Z Flex sleeves.

Q: What diameter of jacketing do I need? Is it recommended to oversize?

A: We will often suggest oversizing the sleeve diameter by 1/8” to allow for ease of installation. If the application
requires significant bending or flexing we will suggest even more extra room. For assistance with sizing you can also contact one of our design engineers.

Q: What is the minimum bend radius of the tubing?

A: There is no minimum bend radius for our Z flex products. The flexible jacketing material allows for extreme amounts of bending and flexing. The bend radius of the installed sleeving is typically dictated by the harness it is covering.

Q: This jacketing looks flat, but I have a round cable, will this still work?

A: Z flex was designed to be used on flat ribbon cables, but can be used on any shape of cable harness. For round cables, ZTT or one of our many other jacketing options may provide a better fit.

Q: What is the nylon pull-through leader and do I need it?

A:The nylon fabric leader is an optional installation aid.For short sections of tubing it is not necessary, but can be very helpful for longer cable runs.First, one end is tied, taped, or otherwise attached to the cable to be covered.Then the opposite end of the leader is pulled out of the Z flex jacketing, bringing the cable with it, through the sleeving.
