Cross - linked polyolefin tubing outperforms PVC. It's stronger and won't burn like PVC. The heat - activated adhesive lining seals out salt water, oil, acids, and sunlight. It also reduces strain. The nylon insulator, favored by experts, offers Marine Grade™ protection against sunlight, water, oil, chemicals, vibration, and cut - through damage. This product is UL Listed and CSA Recognized. It has a high shrink ratio, shrinking to 1/3 of its original size at 257°F/125°C. The operating temperature ranges from 40°C to 110°C. ANCOR heat shrink connectors have built - in heat - activated adhesive. They shrink to create a watertight seal, offering great vibration and strain relief. They're tinned for corrosion resistance, made of pure copper for maximum current flow, and have a brazed seam for strength. Wire range, size, gender, quantity per pack, and part numbers are as follows: 16 - 14 gauge, 3 - 5 mm / 5 mm, female, 100 pcs, part no. 319899; 16 - 14 gauge, 3 - 5 mm / 5 mm, male, 100 pcs, part no. 319999; 22 - 18 gauge, 0.3 - 0.8 mm / 4 mm, female, 100 pcs, part no. 318899; 22 - 18 gauge, 0.3 - 0.8 mm / 4 mm, male, 100 pcs, part no. 318999.

Using these Ancor heat shrink connectors is easy. First, choose the right connector based on your wire's gauge from the table provided. Slide the connector onto the wire. Then, apply heat evenly with a heat gun. The heat shrink tubing will start to shrink at 257°F/125°C, forming a tight seal. Remember to work in a well - ventilated area when using the heat gun. When it comes to maintenance, these connectors are quite durable. But avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures outside the 40°C - 110°C operating range. If you notice any signs of damage like cracks or loose seals, replace the connector right away. Also, keep them away from sharp objects that could cause cut - through damage.
