Value Collection BD23540 Heat Shrink Sleeve 4 in 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD23540 is a yellow heat shrink sleeve designed for insulating and protecting electrical wire terminations and splices. Measuring 4 inches in overall length, it is compatible with wire gauges from 16 AWG to 14 AWG. When heat is applied, the tubing shrinks tightly around the conductor or connection, creating a secure, insulated barrier against moisture, abrasion, and accidental contact. This sleeve is a standard consumable used by electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trades during wiring tasks on control circuits, field repairs, and panel terminations.

This heat shrink sleeve is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where 14 to 16 AWG wire is common. Typical applications include protecting wire splices, covering exposed terminals, bundling conductors, and strain relief on low-voltage control wiring. The yellow color aids in visual identification of wiring runs or phases during installation and future service work. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 20 units, making it practical to stock in a service van or shop.

Key Features

• 4-inch overall length provides coverage for standard splice and termination work
• Compatible with 16 AWG minimum to 14 AWG maximum wire sizes
• Yellow color supports visual wire identification in multi-conductor installations
• Heat shrink construction forms a tight, insulating bond when heated evenly
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds, suitable for stocking in bulk

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat shrink sleeve for use with 14 to 16 AWG conductors in residential and light commercial electrical and low-voltage wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians and HVAC technicians as part of standard wiring procedures. De-energize all circuits before applying heat shrink sleeves to any termination or splice. Slide the sleeve over the conductor before making the connection, position it fully over the joint, then apply even heat using a heat gun until the sleeve conforms tightly. Avoid open flame heat sources, which can scorch or unevenly shrink the tubing.
