3M Cold Shrink Quick Splice Low Voltage QSLV-M are open-ended tubular rubber sleeves with sealing mastic on each end which are factory expanded and assembled onto a unique three-core system.

3M Cold Shrink Connector Insulators 8440 Series are open-ended, factory-expanded silicone rubber tubes designed with cold shrink technology and loaded on a removable plastic core. To install the connection, position it over the inline connector, pull the loose tab on the plastic core while unwinding the core in a counterclockwise direction, allowing the ends of the tube to shrink and form a secure seal. Engineered for primary insulation of solid dielectric insulated wires and cable splices rated up to 1000 volts, the insulators can be used for indoor and outdoor applications to provide a moisture-resistant seal. They are easy to install by hand, requiring no additional tools or heating sources.

Accommodating an application range of 0.35 in (8.86 mm) to 0.95 in (24.13 mm) for installations on 6 AWG to 3/0 AWG, 3M Cold Shrink Connector Insulators 8440 Series provide physical protection and environmental sealing for terminal lug barrels and inline connectors. These insulators are ideal for electrical aircraft cables, cable trays or overhead applications, sheath repairs, and secondary splices for both copper and aluminum conductors. They can withstand an operating temperature range between -66 °F to 500 °F (-55 °C to 260 °C). With reliable thermal stability, high chemical resistance, fire resistance, and a secure moisture seal, 3M Cold Shrink Connector Insulators 8440 Series is your answer to dependable insulating performance.

3M Heat Shrink Tubing FP-301 is a general purpose, thin wall tubing that provides a balance of electrical, physical and chemical properties, making it ideal for industrial and military applications. This tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio and provides flame retardant insulation for 600V rated applications. It has a flexible polyolefin construction that offers moisture seal protection.

3M Direct Bury Splice Kits combine the quick, reliable connection of a 3M Performance Plus Wire Connector with the moisture resistance of a high impact, UV resistant tube prefilled with moisture resistant grease.

3M Cold Shrink/Sheath Wrap, Armored or Non-Armored Splice Kit 5551-3C-AC is for splicing 3/C, 5/8 kV shielded, armored and non-armored cables. Connectors are not included. Kits include Sheath Wrap to reconstitute the cable’s armor. Meets the requirements of IEEE 404. Each kit makes one 3/C splice.

3M Cold Shrink Corrosion Protection Kit CPT Series are designed to provide a quick and easy method for protecting bulkhead termination connectors from the corrosive influences of wet and salt-fog installation environments.

3M Cold Shrink Connector Insulators 8420 and 8430 Series are EPDM, factory-expanded rubber tubes designed with cold shrink technology and loaded on a removable plastic core. To install the connection, position it over the inline connector, pull the loose tab on the plastic core while unwinding the core in a counterclockwise direction, allowing the ends of the tube to shrink and form a secure seal. Engineered for primary insulation of solid dielectric insulated wires and cable splices rated up to 1000 volts, the insulators can be used for indoor and outdoor applications to provide a water-resistant seal. They are easy to install by hand, requiring no additional tools or heating sources.

Accommodating a variety of cable sizes, 3M Cold Shrink Connector Insulators 8420 and 8430 Series provide physical protection and environmental sealing for terminal lug barrels, conduit coupling, and conduit-to-cable breakouts. These insulators are ideal for direct burial or submersible applications involving communication and other non-electrical operations, such as dig-in and sheath repairs, and secondary splices for both copper and aluminum conductors. They can withstand an operating temperature range between -40 °F to 194 °F (-40 °C to 90 °C) and meet the water seal requirements of ANSI C119.1. When you need dependable insulating properties with long-lasting resiliency, look no further than 3M Cold Shrink Connector Insulators 8420 and 8430 Series.

3M Bus Bar Heat Shrink Tubing BBI is a flame retardant tubing that provides reliable protection and insulation for 5 to 35 kV rated applications. The cross linked polyolefin construction is split and solvent resistant while offering good tracking resistance. It offers a tight fit for rectangular, square or round bus bars.
