Value Collection BD-23638-B Heat-shrink Sleeve 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-23638-B is a black heat-shrink sleeve designed to insulate, protect, and bundle wire terminations and splices. Before shrinking, the sleeve measures 3/4 inch inside diameter and 1-1/2 inches overall length. Once heat is applied, the tubing constricts tightly around the conductor or connection, forming a durable protective layer. This sleeve is compatible with wire gauges ranging from AWG 2 up to AWG 2/0, making it suitable for heavier electrical conductors. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and electrical tradespeople use this type of sleeve during wire repair, panel work, and field terminations requiring insulation and strain relief.

This heat-shrink sleeve is suited for residential and commercial electrical applications where a clean, insulated finish is required on exposed conductors, splices, or terminal connections. The black color allows for straightforward identification in multi-wire installations. Its compact 1-1/2 inch length is well-matched to terminal lug connections, butt splices, and short exposed conductor sections commonly encountered in equipment wiring and panel installations.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch inside diameter before shrinking accommodates AWG 2 to AWG 2/0 conductors
• 1-1/2 inch overall length suits terminal and splice cover applications
• Heat-shrink construction conforms tightly to conductor for a secure, protective fit
• Black color for consistent identification in wiring assemblies
• Compact and lightweight at 0.01 pounds per piece

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat-shrink sleeve for use with AWG 2 to AWG 2/0 wire conductors in standard residential and commercial electrical wiring and termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified electrical tradespeople. De-energize and lock out the circuit before working on any conductor or termination. Slide the sleeve over the conductor or splice before making the final connection, then apply even heat using a heat gun — avoid open flame, which can cause uneven shrinkage or damage. Follow applicable NEC requirements for insulation and conductor protection in the specific installation environment.
