3M 7000132582 Heat Shrinkable Cable Breakout Boot

Product Description

The 3M 7000132582 is a heat shrinkable cable breakout boot designed to insulate and seal cable breakouts in multiconductor armored or sheathed cables and conduit ends. This 4-way outlet boot is constructed from flame retardant, cross-linked polyolefin and meets the material requirements of MIL-I-81765-1. An internal adhesive coating is applied during manufacturing to create a reliable environmental seal once the boot is shrunk in place. Electricians and low-voltage cable installers use this style of boot to provide mechanical and electrical protection at points where a single cable transitions into multiple conductors or branches.

This boot is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and utility installations where multiconductor cables require a protected, sealed breakout. Common applications include armored cable terminations and conduit end treatments where moisture ingress, contamination, or mechanical abrasion are concerns. The HDBB-420-1-250 model is supplied in black and packaged individually, one unit per case. It is appropriate for use in environments demanding compliance with military material specifications for insulating sleeves and boots.

Key Features

• 4-way outlet configuration for multiconductor cable breakouts
• Flame retardant, cross-linked polyolefin construction meets MIL-I-81765-1 material requirements
• Internal adhesive coating provides environmental sealing upon heat shrink activation
• Provides both electrical insulation and mechanical protection at cable transition points
• Compatible with multiconductor armored or sheathed cables and conduit ends
• Supplied in black; sold individually (1 per case)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and field-install option for heat shrinkable breakout boot applications on multiconductor armored or sheathed cables and conduit ends requiring a 4-way outlet configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or qualified low-voltage cable technicians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before handling cable terminations or applying any heat shrink boot. Use an appropriate heat gun to evenly shrink the boot; avoid open flame, which can cause uneven shrinkage or damage to the polyolefin material. Verify that the cable outside diameter falls within the boot's specified shrink range before installation.
