Vinyl Sleeves
A vinyl sleeve slides over the barrel of a cable lug to insulate it and colour-code the phase or size. Panel builders, switchboard makers, electricians and dealers use this lug sleeve on bare ring, pin and fork types in power and control wiring. Each PVC sleeve for lugs goes on the cable before crimping, then is pushed over the barrel once the lug is fitted.

Terminal Insulation Sleeve for Bare Lugs
A terminal insulation sleeve covers the crimp so it cannot touch nearby parts, and colours help identify phases at a glance. Choose the sleeve size by the lug barrel, so it fits snugly without splitting. Vinyl sleeves for lugs are a quick way to bring bare lugs up to a neat, finished standard. Look up the product page for sizes and colours. Sleeves also make phase checks quicker during testing and handover, so keep a mix of sizes for the lugs you use most.
Crimp the lug with a lug crimping tool before sliding the sleeve over, and browse all cable lugs for matching sizes. Returns are accepted within 10 days, and switchboard and panel dealers looking for regular stock can join our dealership programme.
