Value Collection BOW-998745 Heat Shrink Sleeve 3:1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-998745 is a polyolefin heat shrink sleeve designed to protect wire splices, terminals, and cable bundling points in electrical and low-voltage wiring applications. With a 3:1 shrink ratio and a pre-shrink inside diameter of 1.1 inches, this sleeve provides a snug, secure fit over a wider range of conductor and connector sizes than standard 2:1 tubing. The 6-inch overall length accommodates most common splice and termination zones. Constructed from black polyolefin, it carries a flame-resistant rating and meets RoHS compliance standards. Electricians and low-voltage technicians reach for this sleeve when a reliable environmental and mechanical barrier is needed at connection points.

This heat shrink sleeve is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, HVAC control wiring, panel wiring, and general low-voltage system terminations. The 3:1 ratio makes it particularly useful when working over bulky connectors, irregular surfaces, or multi-conductor bundles where a 2:1 sleeve would not close down sufficiently. The black color also aids in UV and light exposure environments. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 2 units.

Key Features

• 3:1 shrink ratio accommodates larger connectors and irregular bundle geometries
• 1.1 inch pre-shrink inside diameter fits a wide range of conductor sizes
• 6 inch overall length covers most standard splice and termination zones
• Polyolefin construction provides flame resistance and chemical durability
• RoHS compliant for use in regulated installations
• Black color offers additional UV and light resistance in exposed runs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat shrink sleeve for use in electrical, low-voltage, and control wiring applications wherever a 3:1 polyolefin sleeve with a 1.1 inch pre-shrink ID and 6 inch length is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or qualified low-voltage technicians. De-energize all circuits before applying heat shrink over any splice or terminal. Use a heat gun set to the appropriate temperature for polyolefin tubing and apply heat evenly along the sleeve from one end to the other to avoid bubbling or incomplete shrink. Do not use an open flame to activate the sleeve.
