Value Collection BDNA-C8883698 Heat Shrink Sleeve Red

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-C8883698 is a red heat shrink sleeve designed for insulating, bundling, and protecting wire splices, terminals, and cable connections. With a pre-shrink inside diameter of 3/8 inch and an overall length of 6 inches, this sleeve provides a snug, protective barrier when heat is applied. It is a standard tool in electrical, HVAC low-voltage wiring, and control panel work. Electricians and HVAC technicians use heat shrink sleeves to seal and strain-relieve connections in both residential and commercial installations.

This sleeve suits a wide range of field and shop applications including wire harness repair, terminal insulation, and conduit entry sealing. The red color supports color-coded wiring organization, making it useful in multi-circuit control wiring layouts. The 6-inch length accommodates typical splice and terminal coverage needs without excessive trimming. It is suited for use on copper, aluminum, and stranded conductors found in low-voltage control circuits, line-voltage branch circuits, and HVAC system wiring.

Key Features

• Pre-shrink inside diameter of 3/8 inch for compatibility with common wire gauges and terminal barrels
• 6-inch overall length provides coverage for splices, terminals, and cable entry points
• Red color supports color-coded wiring identification in multi-circuit installations
• Heat shrink construction conforms tightly to conductors and connectors when heat is applied
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds, easy to carry in a service bag or parts kit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat shrink sleeve for use on wire, cable, and terminal connections where a 3/8 inch pre-shrink inside diameter and 6-inch length meet the application requirement.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians and HVAC technicians following applicable NEC guidelines for insulation and conductor protection. De-energize all circuits before applying heat shrink sleeving to any live wire or terminal. Slide the sleeve over the conductor or splice before making the connection, then apply a heat gun evenly along the sleeve length to achieve full shrinkage. Avoid using an open flame, as uncontrolled heat can damage the sleeve or adjacent wiring.
