3M 7010297587 FP-301VW Heat Shrink Tubing 1/8 in Black 500 Ft

Product Description

The 3M 7010297587 is a flame-resistant heat shrink tubing sold in a 500-foot spool, designed for electrical insulation and wire bundling applications where fire resistance is a critical requirement. Based on the FP-301VW formulation, it delivers the same balanced electrical, physical, and chemical properties as standard FP-301 tubing while adding superior flame resistance. The tubing is rated for continuous operation from -55 degrees C (-67 degrees F) to 135 degrees C (275 degrees F) and can withstand short-term elevated temperatures up to 300 degrees C (572 degrees F). The minimum shrink temperature is 100 degrees C (212 degrees F). Licensed electricians and wire harness technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This tubing is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations where component insulation, strain relief, and flame resistance are required. It is commonly applied over wire splices, terminal connections, and cable bundles in control panels, switchgear, and wiring harnesses. The 1/8-inch diameter size targets smaller-gauge conductors and component leads. The spool format supports high-volume shop or field work, making it practical for electrical contractors and OEM assembly operations alike.

Key Features

• Flame-resistant FP-301VW formulation engineered for superior fire resistance over standard FP-301
• Continuous operating range from -55 degrees C to 135 degrees C (-67 degrees F to 275 degrees F)
• Short-term temperature resistance up to 300 degrees C (572 degrees F)
• Minimum shrink temperature of 100 degrees C (212 degrees F)
• 1/8-inch diameter suits small-gauge conductors and component leads
• 500-foot spool format reduces per-unit cost and supports high-volume production or service work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and field-service replacement heat shrink tubing for electrical insulation applications requiring flame resistance on conductors and connections in the 1/8-inch recovered diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or trained wire harness technicians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage before applying tubing over any live conductor or splice. Use a calibrated heat gun to apply uniform heat at or above 100 degrees C (212 degrees F); avoid open-flame torches, which can scorch or unevenly shrink the tubing. Ensure the tubing fully overlaps the area being insulated on both ends before applying heat.
