It carries a 2:1 shrink ratio with a minimum expanded diameter of 0.539 inches and a maximum recovered diameter of 0.252 inches, making it well-suited for cable sizes from 4 to 1 AWG. At 6 inches in length and 0.026 inches wall thickness, this tubing activates at 70 degrees C. It is flame retardant, UV resistant, and resistant to common fluids and solvents. UL 224 and 486D listed for use in both Canada and the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tubing is used in commercial and residential electrical work wherever wire splices, terminals, or in-line components need insulation and mechanical protection. It handles light-duty wire harness bundling where flexibility is required. Licensed electricians and electrical maintenance technicians install this product during panel work, control wiring, and field splice repairs. The wide temperature rating of -55 to 125 degrees C makes it functional in both indoor and outdoor environments, including locations with UV exposure or chemical contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyolefin construction provides high dielectric strength of 20 KV\/MM and volume resistance of 10^14 Ohm CM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2:1 shrink ratio with 0.539 inch expanded diameter and 0.252 inch recovered diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for 600 volts with UL 224 and 486D approval for Canada and US\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant, UV resistant, and resistant to common fluids and solvents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide service temperature range: -55 to 125 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for bundling wires into flexible, light-duty harnesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with cable sizes from 4 to 1 AWG.

De-energize all circuits before applying heat shrink tubing to terminals, splices, or conductors. Use a heat gun to apply uniform, controlled heat around the tubing until full shrinkage is achieved — avoid open flame, which can damage the tubing or surrounding insulation. Do not stretch or over-expand the tubing prior to installation beyond the stated expanded diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heat Shrink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polyolefin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600 volts\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\u003eMinimum Expanded Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.539 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Recovered Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.252 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNormal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\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: 0.026 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 to 1 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDielectric Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 KV\/MM\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, 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: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 46-322\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IDEAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51283985006898,"sku":"46-322","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309279699.jpg?v=1781065081","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ideal-46-322-heat-shrink-tubing-600v-1-2-in-6-in-4-1-awg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
