3M 7010400836 FP301 Heat Shrink Tubing 3/16 in 48 in Red

Product Description

The 3M 7010400836 is a thin-wall heat shrink tubing from the FP-301 series, measuring 3/16 inch in diameter and 48 inches in length in red. It is designed to provide reliable electrical insulation, mechanical protection, and strain relief on wire splices, terminal connections, and cable bundling applications. The FP-301 formulation delivers a well-rounded balance of electrical performance, physical durability, and chemical resistance, making it well suited for demanding industrial and military-grade wiring environments. Electricians, panel builders, and harness assemblers regularly use this tubing as a clean, low-profile insulation solution.

This tubing is appropriate for use in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations as well as military and aerospace wiring harness assemblies. It applies wherever a technician needs a compact, thin-wall sleeve that conforms tightly to conductors, connectors, or terminal ends upon the application of heat. The red color aids in color-coded circuit identification, which is useful in multi-circuit panel work and harness builds.

Key Features

• Thin-wall construction provides a low-profile finished diameter after shrink
• 48-inch length allows full stick coverage for long runs or multiple cuts per piece
• 3/16 inch nominal diameter suits small-gauge wire and connector insulation needs
• Red color supports color-coded identification in multi-wire assemblies
• Balanced electrical, physical, and chemical properties suited for industrial and military applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard thin-wall heat shrink sleeve for use on small-gauge conductors, wire splices, terminal connections, and cable bundling where a 3/16 inch nominal diameter provides the appropriate fit before shrink.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, harness technicians, and qualified wiring professionals working on low-voltage and line-voltage assemblies. Before applying, ensure all circuits are de-energized and terminals are fully crimped or soldered. Use a calibrated heat gun set to the appropriate shrink temperature and apply heat evenly along the length of the tubing to achieve uniform wall contact. Avoid open-flame heat sources, which can cause uneven shrink, scorching, or damage to adjacent insulation.
