3M 7000132616 FP-301 Heat Shrink Tubing 3/8 in 48 in Clear

Product Description

The 3M 7000132616 is a thin-wall heat shrink tubing from the FP-301 series, sized at 3/8 inch diameter in a 48-inch length with a clear finish. FP-301 tubing is engineered to provide a reliable balance of electrical insulation, physical protection, and chemical resistance across a broad range of demanding environments. Licensed electricians, maintenance technicians, and military or industrial MRO professionals install this tubing to insulate wire splices, bundle conductors, protect terminals, and provide strain relief on harnesses. At 0.08 pounds per unit, it is lightweight and easy to handle during assembly or field repair work.

FP-301 thin-wall heat shrink tubing is suited for industrial wiring, military-spec harness work, panel wiring, and general electrical insulation tasks. The clear jacket allows visual inspection of the underlying conductor or termination after shrink-down. It is appropriate for applications where a low-profile, clean-looking sleeve is required. Installers working in both commercial and light industrial settings will find this format useful for routing through tight conduit pathways or tight connector boot areas.

Key Features

• Thin-wall FP-301 construction provides electrical insulation and physical protection in a compact profile
• 3/8 inch diameter accommodates a range of conductor and terminal sizes
• 48-inch length allows field cutting to specific segment lengths
• Clear jacket enables visual confirmation of splice or termination quality after installation
• Balanced electrical, physical, and chemical properties suited for industrial and military applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style heat shrink sleeve for general electrical insulation and wire bundling applications across industrial and military wiring harness assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified wiring harness technicians. De-energize all circuits before applying heat shrink tubing to any live conductor or terminal. Use a calibrated heat gun set to an appropriate temperature for the tubing wall thickness — avoid open flame, which can scorch the tubing unevenly or damage adjacent insulation. Ensure the conductor or splice is fully seated inside the tubing before applying heat, and allow the tubing to cool fully before restoring power or flexing the assembly.
