The Ancor Heat Shrink Tubing ALT is a versatile and durable option for those looking to insulate and protect their electrical connections. The assorted 8-pack offers a range of sizes to suit various wiring projects. Every piece of tubing is 6 inches long and capable of fitting a wide array of wire sizes, from 20-2/0 AWG. The black colored tubing ensures a sleek, uniform look for all your electrical work.
Compared to traditional PVC, the cross-linked polyolefin tubing material is a more robust solution that stands up better to harm, including incineration. The addition of a heat-activated adhesive lining guarantees a secure, watertight seal once the tubing is heated and shrinks into place, safeguarding against external elements such as salt water, oil, acids, and ultraviolet light. This feature also provides necessary strain relief for the electrical wires within.
The product boasts the highest shrink ratio, effectively shrinking down to one-third of its original diameter, facilitating a snug fit. This occurs at a shrink temperature of 257°F/125°C, while the tubing itself is rated to operate in extreme conditions, with a temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. Additionally, this heat shrink tubing is UL 224 certified, ensuring it meets industry standards for safety and performance.
WARNING: The use of this product may expose individuals to harmful chemicals, such as di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
