3M 7000132518 Heat Shrinkable Cable Breakout Boot

Product Description

The 3M 7000132518 is a heat shrinkable cable breakout boot designed for insulating and sealing cable breakouts in multiconductor armored or sheathed cables and conduit ends. Sold as a single unit, this 3-way outlet boot is manufactured from flame retardant, cross-linked polyolefin and meets the material requirements of MIL-I-81765-1. An internal adhesive coating is factory-applied to create a reliable environmental seal once heat is applied. Electricians and low-voltage cable installers rely on this type of boot to protect cable junctions from moisture, contaminants, and mechanical stress at the point where conductors branch off from a common sheath.

This boot is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and utility electrical installations where multiconductor armored or sheathed cables terminate or branch at conduit ends. The 3-way outlet configuration makes it appropriate for applications requiring a single cable to split into three protected conductor runs. Typical install scenarios include motor feeder breakouts, control cable terminations, and conduit entry sealing in environments where environmental sealing and flame retardance are required.

Key Features

• Flame retardant, cross-linked polyolefin construction meets MIL-I-81765-1 material requirements
• Internal adhesive coating provides reliable environmental sealing upon heat shrinking
• 3-way outlet design accommodates multiconductor cable breakout configurations
• Black finish for standard identification and UV resistance in cable management applications
• Provides both electrical insulation and mechanical protection at cable junctions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style heat shrink breakout boot for use with multiconductor armored or sheathed cables and conduit ends requiring a 3-way sealed outlet configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified cable termination technicians. De-energize and lock out all circuits before working on cable terminations. Apply heat evenly using an appropriate heat gun, working from the center of the boot outward toward each outlet to ensure the adhesive liner flows and seals completely. Follow NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for cable insulation and sealing methods applicable to the installation environment.
