Thin-wall heat-shrink tubing for 16 AWG wire

This thin-wall polyolefin tube shrinks at a 2:1 ratio from an inside diameter of 0.08 in to 0.03 in. The four-foot length is black, flame retardant and UV light-resistant. It operates from -55 to 125 degrees F with a dielectric strength of 600 V.

Fits over 16 AWG conductors and shrinks with heat

Slide the tubing over the wire or splice, then apply at least 158 degrees F to activate the shrink. The material is flexible and adhesive-free, leaving no residue. After shrinking the wall measures 0.01 in thick, adding minimal bulk to the harness.

Suited for electrical insulation

The 2:1 ratio and thin wall make it practical for tight bundles and 16 AWG applications. Builders needing adhesive-lined seals, larger diameters or higher shrink ratios should select a different tubing style.

Questions about this item

What is the minimum temperature needed to start the 2:1 shrink on this 0.08 in ID tubing?

The tubing begins to shrink at 158 degrees F, reducing the 0.08 in inside diameter down to 0.03 in with a 0.01 in recovered wall thickness.

How hot can the installed tubing get during continuous operation?

The polyolefin material is rated for a maximum continuous operating temperature of 125 degrees F and a minimum of -55 degrees F.

What wire gauge is this 0.08 in ID heat shrink designed to cover?

It is specified for use with 16 AWG wire, providing a snug fit after the 2:1 shrink ratio is activated.
