Value Collection BD23541 Heat Shrink Sleeve Blue 10-12 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD23541 is a blue heat shrink sleeve designed to protect and insulate electrical wire connections and splices. With an inside diameter of 0.25 inches before shrinking and an overall length of 4 inches, this sleeve accommodates wire gauges from 10 AWG to 12 AWG. Heat is applied to contract the tubing snugly around the conductor or terminal, creating a secure, moisture-resistant barrier. Electricians and low-voltage installers use heat shrink sleeves during wire termination, splice protection, and strain relief work across residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.

This sleeve is suited for electrical wiring tasks where insulation protection over splices or crimp terminals is required. The blue color aids in color-coding wire connections by circuit or phase, which is common practice in panel work, control wiring, and multi-circuit installations. The 4-inch length provides adequate coverage for standard crimped and soldered connections on 10 AWG and 12 AWG conductors.

Key Features

• Inside diameter of 0.25 inches before shrinking accommodates 10-12 AWG wire
• 4-inch overall length provides full coverage over standard splices and terminals
• Blue color supports color-coded wiring identification
• Heat-activated shrink conforms tightly to conductor for a secure, insulated fit
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insulation sleeve compatible with 10 AWG and 12 AWG wire for use in general electrical splicing, terminal insulation, and wire management applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified low-voltage technicians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before working on any wire connection. Slide the sleeve over the conductor prior to making the splice or crimp, position it over the finished connection, then apply uniform heat using a heat gun until the sleeve shrinks evenly around the joint. Avoid using an open flame, as uncontrolled heat can damage the sleeve or adjacent insulation.
