3M 7000132416 Mdt Heat Shrink Cable Sleeve 48 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7000132416 is a medium-wall, flame-retardant heat shrink cable sleeve from the MDT series, designed for demanding electrical and industrial cable protection applications. Constructed from split-resistant cross-linked polyolefin with a factory-applied thermoplastic adhesive and sealant liner, this sleeve bonds directly to underlying surfaces during installation, filling small voids and forming a durable environmental seal. At 48 inches in length, it delivers reliable protection against abrasion, corrosion, and chemical exposure. Licensed electricians, industrial maintenance technicians, and wire harness installers commonly specify MDT sleeves where flexible, long-term protection is required in adverse conditions.

The MDT series occupies a middle ground between light-wall and heavy-wall heat shrink products. It offers greater flexibility than the HDT heavy-wall sleeve while still providing robust mechanical and environmental protection. This sleeve is well suited for wire bundling, cable end sealing, and splice protection in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations where flame retardancy and moisture resistance are required. The 48-inch length accommodates longer cable runs and can be cut to size in the field.

Key Features

• Medium-wall cross-linked polyolefin construction resists splitting under mechanical stress
• Flame-retardant material supports installations where fire resistance is a code requirement
• Factory-applied adhesive and sealant liner bonds to cable surfaces and seals out moisture and contaminants
• 48-inch length allows field cutting to match a range of application lengths
• Greater flexibility than heavy-wall HDT sleeves, suitable for routing in tight conduit or cable trays
• Fast-shrinking formulation reduces installation time with minimal training required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-spec heat shrink sleeve for medium-wall cable protection applications. Select the size equivalent to the expanded inside diameter required for the cable or bundle being protected.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified electricians or instrumentation technicians. De-energize all circuits before applying heat shrink to any cable or splice. Use a calibrated heat gun or torch set to the appropriate temperature range for polyolefin shrink materials, keeping the heat source moving evenly along the sleeve to avoid scorching. Do not overheat the adhesive liner, as excessive heat can degrade the sealant bond.
