  • Heavy-wall adhesive lining seals out moisture and contaminants
  • 3:1 shrink ratio covers 1/0 to 3/0 AWG wire sizes with 1.1 in to .35 in transition
  • Cross-linked polyolefin resists solvents and UV exposure for outdoor durability
  • Flame-retardant material meets safety requirements in harsh environments
  • Operates from -55 to 110 °F with minimum shrink temperature of 248 °F

Heavy-wall adhesive-lined tubing

This 4 ft length of IDEAL 46-354 heavy-wall heat-shrink tubing is built for professionals who need a watertight, strain-relieved seal on large-gauge conductors. It suits automotive, marine and industrial maintenance crews working on 1/0 AWG to 3/0 AWG cable.

Adhesive liner creates environmental seal

The factory-applied adhesive melts during shrinking and bonds to the cable jacket, locking out moisture, solvents and UV exposure. Cross-linked polyolefin construction adds flame-retardant performance without extra wraps or tapes.

Semi-rigid wall resists abrasion and vibration

After shrinking the 1.1 in inner diameter drops to .35 in with a .12 in wall, giving a tough semi-rigid shell that stands up to vibration and mechanical abuse. Minimum shrink temperature is 248 F, and the material stays stable from -55 F to 110 F.

Questions about this item

How often will the adhesive-lined polyolefin need replacement once it has been shrunk onto a cable?

The cross-linked polyolefin with adhesive liner is designed as a permanent seal; after shrinking at 248 °F it forms a solvent- and UV-resistant bond that does not require scheduled replacement.

What is the first limit reached when the tubing operates continuously at its upper temperature rating?

Continuous exposure at 110 °F stays within the rated range, so the first practical limit is the minimum shrink temperature of 248 °F needed for initial installation.

Does the heavy-wall tubing generate noticeable heat or noise when left on a live circuit all day?

The tubing is a passive insulation sleeve with no moving parts or electrical resistance, so it produces no noise and adds no measurable heat during operation.
