Product Information

Full details

The Centurion Earth Sleeve (EL163-2P) is an essential safety component for professional electricians and DIY enthusiasts working on domestic or commercial electrical installations. It provides reliable insulation and clear identification for bare copper earth wires up to 1.5mm², ensuring compliance with wiring standards; however, users should note it is specifically sized for smaller gauge conductors and will not fit larger primary supply cables.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for outdoor electrical wiring?

This product is primarily designed for standard indoor electrical installations. For external use, ensure it is contained within a suitable IP-rated enclosure.

What is the maximum wire size this sleeve accommodates?

The sleeve is designed to fit conductors up to 1.5mm².

Is the material heat resistant?

It is self-extinguishing within 30 seconds, but it is not intended for use in high-heat environments or as a thermal insulator.

How many meters come in a pack?

Each pack contains a single 2-meter length of sleeving.

Does this sleeve meet electrical safety standards?

Yes, its self-extinguishing properties and insulation resistance make it suitable for standard identification and protection of earth conductors.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve is too tight to slide over wire

Ensure the wire gauge is indeed 1.5mm² or smaller; for stranded wire, twist the strands tightly before sliding the sleeve on.

Sleeve slips off the wire

Ensure you have left enough slack in the wire loop or use a small cable tie to secure the sleeve if necessary, though it is designed for a friction fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, self-extinguishing safety rating
  • Flexible material allows for easy cable routing
  • Essential for meeting industry identification standards
  • Generous 2-meter length provides value for multiple connections

Cons

  • Not compatible with conductors larger than 1.5mm²
  • Requires manual cutting to length
  • Cannot be used as a primary structural conduit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, measure the required length of the bare earth wire that needs covering and cut the sleeve using a sharp utility knife or electrical shears. Slide the sleeve over the conductor until it reaches the terminal entry point. Ensure the sleeve does not interfere with the mechanical connection at the terminal screw. This product is intended for indoor use within standard wiring environments. Keep stored in a cool, dry place to prevent premature material degradation, and avoid exposing the PVC to extreme chemical solvents or high-heat environments exceeding its temperature rating.
