3M 7000133696 Heat Shrink Thin-wall Tubing 3/8 in 6 in Black

Product Description

The 3M 7000133696 is a thin-wall heat shrink tubing from the FP-301 product line, designed to provide reliable electrical insulation, physical protection, and chemical resistance in demanding installations. Sold in a 6-inch length with a 3/8-inch diameter and finished in black, this tubing suits a wide range of wire bundling, termination protection, and insulation tasks. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians commonly install FP-301 series tubing when a consistent, low-profile shrink sleeve is required. The thin-wall construction allows for clean, compact terminations without excessive bulk at splice points or connector ends.

This tubing is appropriate for both industrial and military-grade wiring applications where electrical insulation and environmental protection are required. Typical uses include insulating wire splices, protecting solder joints, bundling conductors, and sealing connector backshells. The 6-inch cut length makes it practical for single-termination work or field repairs where a short, pre-cut section is preferred over a full spool. It is sold in packs, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units per pack.

Key Features

• Thin-wall construction provides low-profile insulation coverage at wire terminations and splices
• 3/8-inch diameter sizing suitable for common wire and connector applications
• 6-inch pre-cut length supports single-termination field repairs without cutting from a spool
• Black finish for color-coding or neutral identification in wiring assemblies
• Balanced electrical, physical, and chemical properties for industrial and military use environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style heat shrink solution for general electrical wiring, splicing, and termination protection across industrial and military wiring assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or qualified maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out the circuit before applying heat shrink tubing to any live wire or termination. Use a calibrated heat gun set to the appropriate temperature range for the tubing material to ensure even shrinkage without scorching. Avoid open-flame heat sources, which can cause uneven shrink or damage the tubing integrity.
