Value Collection BD23618 Heat Shrink Sleeve 1/8 in 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD23618 is a black heat shrink sleeve designed to protect wire connections, terminals, and splices from moisture, abrasion, and environmental exposure. With a pre-shrink inside diameter of 1/8 inch and an overall length of 6 inches, this tubing is well suited for small-gauge wiring applications commonly found in HVAC controls, low-voltage thermostat wiring, and electrical panel work. The sleeve is applied by positioning it over the connection and applying heat until it conforms tightly to the underlying conductor or component. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel builders keep this size on hand as a general-purpose insulation and strain-relief solution.

This heat shrink sleeve is appropriate for residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC applications where a compact, reliable insulation sleeve is needed. It fits over small conductors and terminal connections, providing a clean finished appearance and added mechanical protection at splices or solder joints. The 6-inch length allows it to be cut to shorter segments as the job requires, making it a versatile addition to any service kit or panel shop.

Key Features

• Pre-shrink inside diameter of 1/8 inch suits small-gauge conductors and terminals
• 6-inch overall length can be trimmed to fit shorter connection points
• Black color provides a clean, finished look and aids UV resistance in exposed runs
• Heat-activated shrink process conforms tightly to the underlying surface for a secure fit
• Lightweight construction at 0.01 pounds per piece minimizes added bulk at the connection

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat shrink sleeve for small-gauge wire insulation and protection in residential and commercial electrical and HVAC wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or HVAC technicians in accordance with NEC guidelines for insulation and conductor protection. De-energize the circuit completely before slipping the sleeve over the conductor or connection. Apply a heat gun evenly along the length of the sleeve, working from one end to the other, to achieve uniform shrinkage. Avoid using an open flame, as uncontrolled heat can damage the tubing or adjacent components.
