Value Collection BOW-998744 Heat Shrink Sleeve 3:1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-998744 is a red polyolefin heat shrink sleeve rated at a 3:1 shrink ratio with an inside diameter of 0.8 inches before shrinking and an overall length of 6 inches. Designed for wire bundling, insulation, and strain relief applications, this sleeve provides durable protection after heat is applied to reduce its diameter by up to two-thirds of the original size. The polyolefin construction offers flame-resistant performance and RoHS-compliant materials. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel builders use this type of sleeve for protecting wire terminations, splices, and connector assemblies in both residential and commercial installations.

This heat shrink sleeve suits general electrical wiring applications where reliable insulation and environmental protection are required. The 3:1 shrink ratio makes it suitable for irregular or stepped connector profiles where a standard 2:1 ratio sleeve would not conform adequately. At 6 inches in overall length, the sleeve can cover standard wire terminations and short cable runs. Typical install scenarios include control panel wiring, low-voltage wire harness assembly, field splices, and service entry connections where a clean, insulated finish is needed.

Key Features

• 3:1 shrink ratio accommodates irregular connector and splice profiles
• Polyolefin construction with flame-resistant properties
• RoHS compliant materials for regulated and commercial installations
• 0.8 inch inside diameter before shrinking for medium-gauge wire and connector fitment
• 6 inch overall length covers standard terminations and short splice runs
• Red color for easy circuit identification and color-coded wire management

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat shrink sleeve for medium-gauge wire terminations, splices, and connector protection in residential and commercial electrical and low-voltage wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians and low-voltage technicians following applicable NEC guidelines. De-energize all circuits completely before applying the sleeve over any termination or splice. Use a calibrated heat gun rather than an open flame to apply even heat and achieve a uniform, wrinkle-free shrink. Avoid overheating, which can damage the sleeve or underlying insulation.
