The Ancor Heat Shrink Tubing is a high-quality insulating solution designed for electrical applications where a reliable seal and protection are required. This particular pack includes a single red-colored tubing piece, measuring 48 inches in length and 3/8 inch in diameter.
As an ideal product for marine, automotive, or outdoor use where durable and weather-resistant insulation is crucial, the tubing boasts several features:
- Diameter Range: The tubing can shrink from an initial 3/8 inch down to 1/8 inch, providing a snug fit over various cable sizes.
- Wire Range Compatibility: It is suitable for wire sizes from 12-8 AWG, making it versatile for different applications.
- Material Superiority: Utilizing Cross-Linked Polyolefin tubing, it significantly outperforms standard PVC tubing in strength and flame resistance.
- Adhesive Lining: A heat-activated adhesive lining ensures an impervious seal against environmental factors such as saltwater, oil, acids, and UV exposure while offering additional strain relief.
- High Shrink Ratio: With the ability to shrink to one-third of its original size, it provides a secure encapsulation of cables.
- Shrinking Temperature: The tubing reliably shrinks at 257°F/125°C, accommodating various heat sources for installation.
- Thermal Endurance: Capable of withstanding temperatures ranging from -40°C to 110°C, it ensures consistent performance in harsh conditions.
- Safety Certification: The tubing meets UL 224 standards for safety and quality.
Despite its robust features, users should be aware of the potential health risks associated with the product:
WARNING: This product contains di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information about the risks associated with DEHP, please visit P65Warnings.ca.gov.
