Value Collection BD23555 Heat Shrink Sleeve 1 in Id Black

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD23555 is a black heat shrink sleeve designed to protect wire splices, terminals, and cable ends from moisture, abrasion, and environmental exposure. With a pre-shrink inside diameter of 1 inch and an overall length of 2 inches, this sleeve fits over wire gauges ranging from 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 5 units. Electricians and low-voltage technicians use this type of sleeve as a quick, reliable insulation and strain-relief solution on terminations and repairs across electrical and datacom applications.

This heat shrink sleeve is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work where a clean, insulated finish is needed on wire connections. The 1-inch pre-shrink ID accommodates a wide range of heavier-gauge conductors from 4 AWG up to 3/0 AWG, making it appropriate for service entrance work, panel feeders, motor leads, and large junction connections. A heat gun or equivalent heat source is used to activate shrinkage and form a tight seal around the conductor or splice.

Key Features

• 1 inch inside diameter before shrinking accommodates 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG wire
• 2 inch overall length provides adequate coverage for splice and terminal protection
• Black color for standard identification and UV-resistant appearance
• Heat-activated shrink conforms tightly to conductor profile on application
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit, easy to store and carry in a service kit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use heat shrink sleeve compatible with wire gauges from 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG in residential and commercial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified technicians following applicable NEC guidelines. De-energize the circuit completely before placing the sleeve over any conductor or splice. Slide the sleeve into position before making the final connection, then apply even heat from a heat gun working from the center outward to prevent air pockets. Do not use an open flame directly on the sleeve, as uncontrolled heat can cause uneven shrink or damage to the conductor insulation.
