Value Collection BD23550 Heat Shrink Sleeve 3/8 in 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD23550 is a black heat shrink sleeve designed to insulate, protect, and seal wire connections and splices. Applied with heat, the sleeve contracts around the wire or termination to form a tight, secure covering. The 3/8 inch inside diameter before shrinking accommodates wire sizes from 12 AWG to 6 AWG, and the 6 inch overall length gives technicians enough material to cover most standard splice or termination points. Electricians and field technicians keep this sleeve on hand for panel work, junction box terminations, and in-line repairs across residential and light commercial electrical systems.

This heat shrink sleeve is suited for electrical wiring applications where exposed conductors, splices, or terminals need insulation and mechanical protection. The 6 inch length works well for single-connection coverage on branch-circuit wiring, control wiring, and low-voltage leads. Compatible wire sizes range from 12 AWG to 6 AWG, making the sleeve useful across a range of conductor gauges commonly found in HVAC control circuits, electrical panels, and equipment wiring harnesses.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch inside diameter before shrinking fits 12 AWG to 6 AWG wire
• 6 inch overall length provides full coverage for most splice and termination points
• Black color for standard wire identification and professional finish
• Heat shrink construction contracts tightly to reduce moisture ingress and mechanical wear
• Compact and lightweight at 0.01 pounds for easy storage in a service bag or kit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat shrink sleeve for use on copper conductors ranging from 12 AWG to 6 AWG in electrical wiring, control circuit, and equipment termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified technicians. De-energize and lock out the circuit before working on any wiring or termination. Slide the sleeve over the conductor or splice before making the final connection, then apply even heat using a heat gun to shrink the sleeve uniformly. Avoid open-flame tools, which can scorch or unevenly shrink the sleeve and damage the insulation.
