Ancor Heat Shrink Tubing (ALT) – 3 – 8-inch x 12-inch – 5 Pack – Red

The Ancor Heat Shrink Tubing is a reliable solution for insulating wires, providing abrasion resistance, and improving the overall appearance of wiring systems. This pack contains 5 red heat shrink tubing sections, each measuring 12 inches in length, and with a pre-shrink diameter of 3/8 inch. Upon the application of heat, these tubes constrict to a 1/8 inch diameter, ensuring a secure fit around single wires or harnesses.

Designed to accommodate a wire range of 12-8 AWG, these tubing sections are manufactured from cross-linked polyolefin, offering superior durability and performance compared to standard PVC tubing options. They are resistant to combustion and feature a heat-activated adhesive lining, which creates a water-tight seal, protecting against salt water, oil, acids, and ultraviolet light (UV). Additionally, the adhesive lining offers important strain relief for connected wires.

Boasting the highest shrink ratio available, these sections reduce in size by two-thirds once heated. The shrink procedure is activated at a temperature of 257°F / 125°C, and once deployed, the tubing can operate within a temperature range of -40°C to 110°C, making it suitable for diverse environmental conditions. These heat shrink tubes are regularly chosen by professionals due to their compliance with the stringent UL 224 safety standards.

Note: This product contains di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical recognized by the State of California as a potential health risk, leading to cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For comprehensive information regarding these risks, please refer to P65Warnings.ca.gov.
