Brady 170853 Heat Shrink Labels 3/16 in 80-roll

Product Description

The BRADY 170853 is a cartridge of heat shrink labels designed for wire and cable marking in electrical, datacom, and industrial applications. Each cartridge contains 80 polyolefin labels printed in black on a white background. Labels measure 3/16 inch in diameter and 1 inch in width, delivering a clean, legible identification surface once heat is applied. The polyolefin construction shrinks tightly around wire insulation to produce a permanent, tamper-resistant label that resists abrasion and common shop fluids. This cartridge format feeds directly into compatible Brady label printers, making it a fast, tool-free consumable swap for electricians and field technicians.

The 170853 is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, panel wiring, low-voltage data runs, and equipment labeling wherever wire identification is required by code or best practice. The heat shrink format is especially useful in tight conduit fills or junction boxes where wrap-around labels may loosen over time. Electricians, low-voltage installers, and industrial maintenance techs are the primary users of this label cartridge.

Key Features

• Polyolefin heat shrink material forms a secure, abrasion-resistant sleeve around wire and cable
• Black on white print for high-contrast, readable wire identification
• 3/16 inch label diameter accommodates standard wire sizes in electrical and datacom work
• 1 inch label width provides adequate space for alphanumeric wire IDs
• Cartridge format with 80 labels per roll minimizes downtime during label loading
• Compatible with BMP51, BMP53, and M511 Brady label printers

Compatibility

Designed for use with Brady BMP51, BMP53, and M511 label printers. Each cartridge includes 80 heat shrink labels and is sold as a single roll.

Installation Notes

Heat shrink labels are applied by a licensed electrician or low-voltage technician using a compatible Brady printer to generate the label, then sliding the printed sleeve over the wire conductor before or after termination. A heat gun set to the appropriate shrink temperature is used to seat the label firmly around the insulation. De-energize all circuits before working in panels or junction boxes. Follow NEC and applicable local code requirements for wire marking and identification.
