Ancor Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink Tubing (ALT) - 3/8" x 6" - 5-Pack - Red

Ensure the reliability and longevity of your marine electrical systems with our Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink Tubing. Designed specifically for marine and boating applications, this high-quality tubing provides superior protection against the harsh marine environment, including exposure to saltwater, UV rays, and physical abrasion.

Product Overview

Each pack contains five vibrant red sections, each measuring 6 inches (15.2 cm) in length with an initial diameter of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm). Upon application, the tubing shrinks to a compact 1/8 inch (3.2 mm), offering a tight and secure fit for wires ranging from 12 to 8 AWG. Ideal for marine wiring installations, this heat shrink tubing ensures excellent strain relief and environmental protection.

Key Features

• Durable Material: Crafted from cross-linked polyolefin, our tubing is significantly stronger than standard PVC alternatives and resistant to burning, ensuring enhanced safety and durability in marine settings.
• Superior Sealing: The heat-activated adhesive lining forms an impervious barrier against saltwater, oils, acids, and sunlight. This robust seal prevents corrosion and moisture ingress, protecting your boat's electrical connections.
• High Shrink Ratio: With a shrink ratio of 3:1, the tubing reduces to one-third of its original size, providing a snug and professional finish for your wiring projects.
• Heat Activation: Shrinks effectively at 257°F (125°C), allowing for easy and rapid installation using standard heat guns or other heating tools.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 110°C, making it suitable for various marine environments and conditions.
• Certified Quality: Complies with UL 224 standards, ensuring top-tier quality and safety for your marine electrical systems.
