3M 7100025735 FP-301VW Heat Shrink Tubing 3/8 in Black

Product Description

The 3M 7100025735 is a flame-resistant, dual-wall heat shrink tubing sold on a 200-foot spool. Designated FP-301VW, it delivers the same balanced electrical, physical, and chemical properties as standard FP-301 tubing while adding superior flame resistance engineered for demanding environments. The tubing is rated for continuous operation from -55 degrees C (-67 degrees F) to 135 degrees C (275 degrees F) and can withstand brief exposures up to 300 degrees C (572 degrees F). The minimum shrink temperature is 100 degrees C (212 degrees F). Electricians and wire harness technicians use this tubing for insulation, bundling, and environmental protection of conductors and terminations.

FP-301VW tubing is used in industrial, commercial, and aerospace wiring applications where flame resistance is required. The 3/8-inch diameter and 200-foot spool length make it a practical stocking item for production line work, panel wiring, and field service. It is suited for applications requiring compliance with flame-spread standards on wire bundles, terminal connections, and cable splices.

Key Features

• Flame-resistant construction engineered to exceed the performance of standard FP-301 tubing
• Continuous operating range from -55 degrees C to 135 degrees C (-67 degrees F to 275 degrees F)
• Withstands brief elevated temperatures up to 300 degrees C (572 degrees F)
• Minimum shrink temperature of 100 degrees C (212 degrees F) for controlled installation
• 3/8-inch nominal diameter in black; supplied on a 200-foot spool for high-volume use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style heat shrink solution for wire and cable insulation applications requiring flame resistance; verify conductor diameter against nominal tubing size before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or wire harness assemblers following applicable NEC guidelines. De-energize all circuits completely before applying heat shrink over any conductor or termination. Use a calibrated heat gun set to a temperature at or above the minimum shrink threshold of 100 degrees C to achieve uniform, wrinkle-free shrinkage. Do not use an open flame as the heat source, as uneven heat application can damage the tubing or underlying insulation.
