Value Collection BD-23551-1 Heat Shrink Sleeve Red

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-23551-1 is a red heat shrink sleeve designed to protect and insulate electrical wire connections and terminations. With a pre-shrink inside diameter of 0.75 inches and an overall length of 8 inches, this sleeve fits wire gauges from 1 AWG to 6 AWG. Heat is applied with a heat gun to shrink the tubing snugly over the connection, creating a tight, insulating seal. Electricians and electrical technicians use this type of sleeve on splices, terminal ends, and exposed conductors wherever a clean, protected finish is required.

This heat shrink sleeve is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, panel wiring, automotive wiring harnesses, marine electrical applications, and low-voltage control wiring. It is appropriate wherever wire connections need mechanical protection and electrical insulation. The red color aids in circuit identification and color-coding of conductors or zones within a wiring system. Compatible wire gauge range of 1 AWG to 6 AWG covers a broad set of feeder and branch circuit applications.

Key Features

• Pre-shrink inside diameter of 0.75 inches accommodates wire sizes from 1 AWG to 6 AWG
• 8-inch overall length provides generous coverage for splices, terminals, and exposed conductors
• Red color supports conductor identification and color-coded wiring organization
• Heat shrink construction creates a snug, insulating seal when heat is applied
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds, suitable for tight or confined wiring spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat shrink sleeve compatible with wire gauges from 1 AWG to 6 AWG, suitable for use across residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified electrical technicians following applicable NEC guidelines. De-energize and lock out the circuit before working on any conductors or terminations. Slide the sleeve over the wire or connection before making the final termination, then apply a heat gun evenly along the length of the sleeve to achieve uniform shrinkage. Avoid open flame as a heat source, as uneven or excessive heat can damage the sleeve or the underlying conductor insulation.
