Value Collection BD-23552-4 Heat Shrink Sleeve 48in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-23552-4 is a black heat shrink sleeve designed to protect and insulate electrical conductors and wire terminations. Measuring 48 inches in overall length with a 1 inch inside diameter before shrinking, this sleeve accommodates wire sizes ranging from 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG. Once heat is applied, the tubing conforms tightly around the conductor, creating a durable, moisture-resistant barrier. It is suited for electrical insulation tasks across residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring applications and is typically installed by licensed electricians or experienced electrical tradespeople working with heavier-gauge conductors and cable splices.

This heat shrink sleeve is commonly used in panel wiring, cable splicing, wire bundling, and conductor insulation where a secure, form-fitting protective covering is required. Its 48-inch length provides enough material to cover extended runs or multiple terminations from a single piece, reducing the need for overlapping sections. The 1 inch pre-shrink diameter is appropriate for the 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG wire range, making it a practical choice for service entrance conductors, feeder cables, and heavy-duty branch circuit work.

Key Features

• 48 inch overall length provides coverage for extended conductor runs or multiple terminations
• 1 inch inside diameter before shrinking accommodates 4 AWG through 3/0 AWG wire sizes
• Black color aids in conductor identification and provides a clean finished appearance
• Heat shrink construction conforms tightly to the conductor surface when heat is applied
• Single-piece, full-length sleeve minimizes the need for spliced or overlapping insulation sections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insulation sleeve for electrical conductors in the 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG range, suitable for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians working in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits and verify the absence of voltage before handling or applying any insulation materials to conductors. A heat gun set to the appropriate temperature should be used to shrink the sleeve evenly along its length, working from the center outward to prevent air pockets. Do not use open flame to apply heat, as uneven heating can damage the sleeve or the conductor insulation beneath it.
