The Ancor Heat Shrink Tubing is an essential product for electrical and wiring projects where insulation and wire protection are needed. The red color of the tubing provides a color-coding function, allowing for easy identification of wires and cables in complex systems. This product is sold in a pack of one, with each tube measuring 48 inches in length and having a diameter of 1/4 inch, which shrinks down to a diameter of 5/64 inch when heat is applied. The tubing is compatible with wire gauges ranging from 16-10 AWG.
Built for reliability and durability, the Ancor Heat Shrink Tubing includes the following features:
- Material: Made of strong cross-linked polyolefin, providing greater durability than PVC tubing and resistance to burning.
- Adhesive Lining: Equipped with a heat-activated adhesive lining that creates an airtight seal.
- Protection: Offers excellent protection against saltwater, oil, acids, and sunlight exposure, as well as providing necessary strain relief.
- Shrink Ratio: Features the highest shrink ratio, shrinking to one-third of its original size with heat application.
- Shrink Temperature: Designed to shrink at 257°F (125°C), ensuring a secure fit around wires and connectors.
- Operating Temperature: Suitable for a wide range of environments with an operating temperature range from -40°C to 110°C.
- Chemical Warning: Contains chemicals such as di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) which are flagged by the State of California for health risks.
