Value Collection BD23634 Heat Shrink Sleeve 6 in Black

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD23634 is a black heat shrink sleeve designed to protect wire splices, terminals, and cable ends in electrical and low-voltage wiring applications. The sleeve measures 6 inches in overall length with an inside diameter of 0.5 inches before shrinking. When heat is applied, the tubing contracts tightly around the substrate, creating a durable insulating barrier. This type of sleeve is a standard consumable for electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trades working with wire harnesses, sensor leads, or control wiring where insulation and strain relief are required.

Heat shrink sleeves of this type are used across residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. Common uses include insulating butt splices, covering exposed conductor ends, bundling multi-conductor runs, and protecting terminals from moisture and abrasion. The 6-inch length makes it suitable for longer splice covers and inline connector protection. Technicians working on HVAC control boards, low-voltage thermostat wiring, plumbing sensor leads, and pool equipment electrical connections will find this sleeve fits standard installation workflows.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch inside diameter before shrinking suits a range of wire gauges and small connectors
• 6 inch overall length provides coverage for extended splices and inline connections
• Black color for standard wire insulation identification and UV concealment
• Heat shrink construction forms a tight, insulating fit over the substrate when heat is applied
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit, minimizing bulk in wire harnesses

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat shrink sleeve suitable for wire and cable insulation tasks in residential and commercial electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and pool equipment wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified trade technicians. Always de-energize the circuit before working on wire splices or terminals. Apply heat evenly along the length of the sleeve using a heat gun; avoid open flame as it may scorch or unevenly shrink the tubing. Follow applicable NEC requirements for insulation and conductor protection in the work environment.
