3M EPS200 1.0in ID Black Adhesive Shrink Tubing 48in PK5

SKU CH-69Z8-5SZX9

Adhesive-lined polyolefin tubing shrinks 2:1 to seal and protect wires from 4/0 AWG to 500 MCM

  • Adhesive-lined polyolefin seals out moisture and contaminants
  • 2:1 shrink ratio reduces 1.0 in. ID to .5 in. for tight fit
  • Flame-retardant material meets safety requirements in harsh environments
  • Operates from -67 °F to 230 °F for extreme-condition reliability
  • Abrasion, acid and alkali resistant for long-lasting protection

Adhesive-Lined Polyolefin Conduit

This 3M EPS200 tubing provides a 2:1 shrink ratio with an inner adhesive layer that bonds and seals when heated. It fits wire sizes from 4/0 AWG up to 500 MCM, making it suitable for heavy-gauge automotive and industrial wiring. The flexible polyolefin construction resists abrasion, acids and alkalis while remaining flame retardant. Each piece is supplied in a 48-inch length for custom cutting.

Thermal Range and Shrink Activation

The tubing operates continuously from -67 degrees F to 230 degrees F and begins shrinking at a minimum of 250 degrees F. After full recovery the inside diameter reduces from 1.0 inch to .5 inch with a nominal wall thickness of .05 inch. The adhesive lining flows during heating to create a moisture-resistant seal around the conductors. No external power draw or noise is generated during installation.

Upgrade from Non-Adhesive Sleeving

This product replaces standard heat-shrink that lacks an adhesive liner, adding environmental sealing and strain relief in a single step. The jump is worth it when connections must survive vibration, fluid exposure or temperature cycling without separate taping or potting. It is not for applications requiring a higher shrink ratio or a different inside-diameter range than the 1.0 inch to .5 inch transition.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1.0 in adhesive shrink tubing and what step is often missed?

Slide the 48 in tube over the splice, heat evenly to at least 250 °F until it shrinks to .5 in, and let the adhesive cool fully before moving the joint — skipping the cool-down breaks the seal.

What maintenance or replacement will the EPS200 tubing need later?

The polyolefin wall stays at .05 in after shrinking and resists abrasion, acid and alkali, so no routine maintenance is required; replace only if physical damage cuts through the wall.

What limit appears first during sustained use of this 2:1 shrink ratio tubing?

Continuous exposure above 230 °F exceeds the rated temperature range and will degrade the adhesive liner before the polyolefin itself fails.
