At a nominal 3\/8 inch diameter, it expands to a minimum of 0.421 inches and recovers to a maximum of 0.185 inches after activation at 70 degrees C. The material delivers electrical insulation, flame retardance, and resistance to common fluids, solvents, and UV exposure. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians use it to insulate in-line components, disconnect terminals, wire splices, and light-duty wire bundles where a flexible, high-strength sleeve is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tubing is suited for residential and commercial electrical work wherever conductors in the 8 to 4 AWG range require a clean, insulated finish. Typical applications include splice protection at disconnect terminals, bundling of flexible wire harnesses, and protection of exposed conductor ends at junction points. Each piece is 6 inches in length and sold individually. Its thin wall profile makes it a practical choice in tight conduit runs or enclosures where clearance is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2:1 shrink ratio with a minimum expanded diameter of 0.421 inches and maximum recovered diameter of 0.185 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolyolefin construction is highly flame retardant and flexible across a wide temperature range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated 600V with UL 224 and UL 486D approval for both US and Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResistant to common fluids, solvents, and UV exposure for durable field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThin wall at 0.022 inches keeps overall diameter low in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style insulation sleeve for use on 8 to 4 AWG conductors in standard residential and commercial electrical installations where 600V-rated, thin-wall polyolefin heat shrink tubing is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits and verify absence of voltage before applying tubing to any conductor or terminal. Use a calibrated heat gun rather than an open flame to activate shrinkage evenly and avoid overheating adjacent components. Allow the tubing to cool fully before re-energizing the circuit or closing the enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNormal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Expanded Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.421 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Recovered Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.185 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.022 inches\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\u003eCable Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 to 4 AWG\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\u003eDielectric Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 KV\/MM\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 +\/- 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 (Canada and US)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplicable Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM D638\/D150\/D876\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.0 inches L x 4.0 inches W x 0.5 inches H\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: 46-319\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IDEAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51283998900530,"sku":"46-319","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309279718.jpg?v=1781065557","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ideal-46-319-heat-shrink-tubing-600v-3-8-in-6-in-8-4-awg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
