IMCSN Medium Wall Heat Shrink Tubing Product Description 3MTM IMCSN Medium Wall Heat Shrink Tubing is designed to provide reliable performance for electrical splices, connections, and terminations, as well as mechanical and environmental protection. IMCSN is fabricated from cross-linked polyolefin. The tubing is highly split resistant, and fast-shrinking to provide rapid installation. The tubing comes standard with a factory-applied adhesive/sealant. Product Features * * * * * * * * * Fast and easy installation Resists puncture and abrasion damage Complete environmental protection Versatile, a minimum number of sizes cover the entire range of applications Shrink ratio 3:1 Resists acids and alkalies Bonds to a wide variety of substrates Reliable and proven UV resistant Applications * Primary electrical insulation for solid dielectric wire and cable rated to 1000 volts * For indoor, outdoor or overhead use * Direct buried or submersible * Insulating secondary splices * Physical protection and moisture sealing of high voltage air insulated connectors and lugs, such as lug connections to bus bars * Relocation of service * Dig-in repairs Product Selection Selecting 3M IMCSN tubing is easy and straightforward. The largest tubing that provides a tight fit when fully recovered will produce the maximum wall thickness. Final wall thickness is proportional to the degree of tubing recovery.
