thermOweld® molds designed for larger cable sizes can be used on smaller diameter cables if copper adapter sleeves or shim stock are utilized. The copper shim stock, .0108″ x 1 1/2″ x 3″, is normally wrapped around cable until the diameter is about equal to the cable opening. A tight fit is not necessary as the shim stock will unwrap slightly and prevent leakage of weld metal.
To order shim stock use part #38-0329-00.
