Each piece measures 6 inches in length with a nominal size of 1\/4 inch, a minimum expanded diameter of 0.268 inches, and a maximum recovered diameter of 0.126 inches at a 2:1 shrink ratio. The wall thickness is 0.022 inches. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians use this tubing during panel work, harness fabrication, and field splice protection. It activates at a shrink temperature of 70 degrees C and carries a continuous temperature rating of -55 to 125 degrees C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tubing is suited for residential and commercial electrical applications where a lightweight, flexible insulation sleeve is required. It accommodates conductor sizes from 14 to 8 AWG, making it a practical choice for branch circuit splices, terminal insulation, and light-duty wire harness bundling. The polyolefin construction resists common fluids, solvents, and UV exposure, and the material provides high flame retardancy with good copper corrosion resistance. It is sold individually as a single 6-inch piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolyolefin construction with a 2:1 shrink ratio and 70 degrees C activation temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated 600 volts with a dielectric strength of 20 KV\/MM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThin wall at 0.022 inches for low-profile installations on 14 to 8 AWG conductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHighly flame retardant with good resistance to common fluids, solvents, and UV exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTensile strength of 14 MPA with longitudinal shrinkage of 0 plus or minus 5 percent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL 224 and UL 486D listed, approved for use in Canada and the United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style insulation solution for 14 to 8 AWG conductors in standard residential and commercial electrical wiring applications where 600-volt-rated, thin-wall heat shrink sleeving is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out all circuits before applying heat shrink tubing to any termination or splice. Use a calibrated heat gun to apply even, controlled heat around the tubing; avoid open flame, which can cause uneven shrink and material degradation. Ensure the tubing is fully seated over the connection before applying heat to achieve proper recovery and insulation coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heat Shrink\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDielectric Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 KV\/MM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 to 8 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Expanded Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.268 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Recovered Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.126 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.022 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShrink Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShrink Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 70 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: -55 to 125 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polyolefin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTensile Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 MPA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10^14 Ohm CM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLongitudinal Shrinkage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 plus or minus 5 percent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEccentricity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 percent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApprovals\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL 224, UL 486D, UL Listed Canada and US\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM D638, ASTM D150, ASTM D876\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IDEAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 46-316\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IDEAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51283978256690,"sku":"46-316","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309279722.jpg?v=1781064853","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ideal-46-316-heat-shrink-tubing-600v-1-4-in-14-8-awg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
