Value Collection BOW-998953 Heat Shrink Sleeve

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-998953 is a heat-shrink sleeve designed for insulating, protecting, and bundling wire connections and terminals in electrical and low-voltage wiring applications. The sleeve measures 0.197 inches (5 mm) in overall length and is rated for operating temperatures between 40 degrees F and 221 degrees F. When heat is applied, the sleeve conforms tightly around the substrate, creating a secure, insulated barrier. Electricians and electrical contractors use this type of sleeve during panel work, harness assembly, and field wiring repairs where a clean, durable termination is required.

This heat-shrink sleeve is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, including wire splices, connector insulation, and terminal protection. Its compact 0.197-inch length makes it appropriate for tight spaces and small-gauge conductor terminations. The sleeve ships individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 25 units, making it practical for stocking in service vans or shop bins where individual pieces are consumed regularly.

Key Features

• Overall length of 0.197 inches (5 mm) for small-conductor and tight-space applications
• Operating temperature range of 40 degrees F to 221 degrees F
• Heat-activated shrink conforms tightly to wire and terminal surfaces
• Provides insulation and mechanical protection at splices and terminations
• Minimum order quantity of 25 units supports bench stock and van inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat-shrink sleeve for use with small-gauge conductors and terminals in standard residential and commercial electrical wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified electrical workers following NEC guidelines. De-energize all circuits before applying heat-shrink sleeves to any connection. Use a calibrated heat gun to apply uniform heat around the sleeve until full shrinkage is achieved; avoid open-flame tools, which can damage the sleeve or adjacent insulation. Verify the sleeve diameter is appropriate for the conductor or terminal before installation.
