Value Collection BD-23551-4 Heat Shrink Sleeve 48 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-23551-4 is a black heat shrink sleeve designed to protect, insulate, and bundle electrical wiring and cable connections. At 48 inches in overall length with a 3/4 inch inside diameter before shrinking, this sleeve covers a wide service span in a single piece, reducing the need for multiple shorter sections. It is compatible with wire gauges ranging from AWG 6 through AWG 1, making it well suited for medium to heavy conductor work. Electricians and electrical contractors use heat shrink tubing to seal terminations, prevent moisture ingress, and provide mechanical protection at splice points and connection ends.

This sleeve fits standard residential and light commercial electrical applications where AWG 6 through AWG 1 conductors are present. Typical use cases include service entrance work, panel feeder connections, motor lead dressing, and general wire bundling where a durable insulating sleeve is required. The black color is standard for general-purpose electrical work and blends with common cable jacket colors. One sleeve is included per package.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch inside diameter before shrinking accommodates AWG 6 to AWG 1 wire
• 48 inch overall length provides full coverage from a single piece
• Black color suits general electrical and service entrance applications
• Heat shrink construction creates a tight, secure fit over conductors and terminations
• Single-piece sleeve minimizes installation time compared to shorter segments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat shrink sleeve for AWG 6 through AWG 1 wire and cable insulation applications in residential and commercial electrical work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians following applicable NEC guidelines. Power down and lock out the circuit before working on any conductors or terminations. Slide the sleeve over the conductor or splice before making the final connection, then apply uniform heat using a heat gun to shrink the sleeve evenly along its length. Avoid open flame as a heat source, as uneven heat can cause incomplete or uneven shrinkage.
