Panduit HSTT1948QC Heat Shrink Tubing 3/16 in 48 in Clear

Product Description

The PANDUIT HSTT1948QC is a clear heat shrink tubing section used for insulating, bundling, and protecting wire and cable assemblies. Measuring 3/16 inch in diameter and 48 inches in length, this tubing shrinks when heat is applied to form a tight, protective sleeve over conductors, splices, and terminals. It is sold as a single piece and is commonly used by electricians, control panel builders, and industrial maintenance technicians in both residential and commercial wiring applications.

This heat shrink tubing is suited for wire harnessing, terminal insulation, strain relief, and cable identification tasks. The clear material allows visual inspection of the underlying conductor or label without removing the sleeve. It is a practical choice for panel wiring, equipment repair, and field service work where a clean, durable insulation layer is needed on wire ends or connections.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch diameter provides a snug fit on small-gauge conductors and terminals
• 48 inch length allows the piece to be cut to multiple shorter sections as needed
• Clear material enables visual inspection of underlying wiring or printed labels
• Heat-applied shrink process creates a tight, low-profile protective sleeve
• Single-piece unit (sold individually) for flexible job-site use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style heat shrink sleeving product compatible with standard wire and cable insulation tasks involving conductors and terminals that fit a 3/16 inch tubing diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians or wire harness technicians following applicable NEC guidelines. Cut the tubing to the desired length before sliding it over the conductor or splice, then apply even heat using a heat gun to achieve uniform shrink. Avoid using an open flame, as uneven heat can cause uneven shrink or damage the tubing. Ensure all circuits are de-energized and properly locked out before working on live conductor assemblies.
