3M 7100020160 FP-301 Heat Shrink Tubing 1/8 in Yellow 500 Ft

Product Description

The 3M 7100020160 is a thin-wall heat shrink tubing sold on a 500-foot bulk spool, designed for insulation, bundling, and strain relief in electrical and electronic assemblies. Supplied in yellow at 1/8 inch nominal diameter, the FP-301 series is a general-purpose polyolefin tubing widely used in industrial and military wiring applications. It delivers a reliable balance of electrical insulation, physical protection, and resistance to common chemicals and fluids encountered in field and panel wiring. Licensed electricians, field technicians, and harness assemblers are the primary installers of this material.

This tubing is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical work where color-coded identification or insulation of wire terminations, splices, and connectors is required. The yellow color supports circuit identification and wire management in multi-conductor assemblies. Bulk spool format is intended for high-volume applications where cutting to length on site is standard practice. Typical applications include control panels, wire harnesses, and instrumentation wiring in industrial and military environments.

Key Features

• Thin-wall FP-301 polyolefin construction provides consistent shrink performance and electrical insulation
• 1/8 inch nominal diameter suits small-gauge wire terminations and connector insulation
• Yellow jacket supports color-coded circuit identification in complex wiring assemblies
• 500-foot bulk spool format minimizes material waste and supports high-volume production or service work
• Balanced electrical, physical, and chemical resistance properties suitable for industrial and military specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose thin-wall heat shrink tubing for use on small-diameter wiring, terminations, and splices in industrial and military electrical assemblies where 1/8 inch nominal diameter tubing is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified wiring technicians. Power down and de-energize all circuits before applying heat shrink tubing to live or energized conductors. Apply heat evenly using an approved heat gun or oven-style shrink tool — do not use an open flame, as uncontrolled heat can damage the tubing or adjacent components. Work to applicable NEC requirements for the wiring method and environment in which the tubing is installed.
