Value Collection BD-23552-1 Heat Shrink Sleeve Red

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-23552-1 is a red heat shrink sleeve designed to protect and insulate electrical wire connections, splices, and terminations. With a pre-shrink inside diameter of 1 inch and an overall length of 9 inches, it accommodates a wide range of wire gauges from 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG. When heat is applied, the tubing shrinks tightly around the conductor or connection, creating a moisture-resistant and mechanically secure cover. Electricians and electrical maintenance professionals use this sleeve in residential, commercial, and industrial wiring applications where durable insulation and connection protection are required.

This heat shrink sleeve is suited for use in conduit terminations, butt splices, ring terminals, and exposed wire ends where insulation integrity is critical. Its 9-inch length provides enough coverage for larger connectors or overlapping insulation zones. The red color aids in circuit identification and phase coding on job sites. It is commonly used in panel wiring, service entrance work, and equipment terminations where wire sizes in the 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG range are standard.

Key Features

• Pre-shrink inside diameter of 1 inch accommodates wire gauges from 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG
• 9-inch overall length provides extended coverage for larger terminations and splices
• Red color supports circuit and phase identification on multi-conductor installations
• Heat shrink construction forms a tight, moisture-resistant seal over connections when heated
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds, easy to handle and position before shrinking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use heat shrink sleeve compatible with wire sizes ranging from 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG in standard electrical termination and splicing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified electrical technicians. De-energize and lock out the circuit before working on any connections. Slide the sleeve over the wire or termination before making the final connection, then apply even heat using a heat gun, moving steadily along the length of the sleeve to avoid scorching. Do not use an open flame as the heat source, as uncontrolled temperatures can damage the sleeve or adjacent insulation.
