3M 8426-11 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need a torch or heat gun to install the 8426-11?
No. This is a cold shrink tube, not heat shrink. It comes pre-expanded on a removable core, and you pull the core ribbon out to let the EPDM rubber contract onto the cable. No flame, no heat gun, no tools, which is why it gets specified in vaults, manholes and other spaces where open flame is a problem.
2) Can I use the 8426-11 on shielded cable?
Yes, for insulation, mechanical protection and repair work it's listed for use over non-shielded, tape shield, UniShield and wire shield cable constructions. The cable type it's designed around is non-shielded solid dielectric power cable, and its 1 kV rating means shielded medium voltage splices still need a proper MV splice kit; the 8426-11 is the jacket-level insulator and protector, not the MV splice body.
3) Can the 8426-11 cold shrink insulator be installed outdoors in cold weather?
Its operating range runs from -40 C (-40 F) up to 90 C (194 F), so it holds up in winter installs and at normal power cable conductor operating temperatures. The EPDM rubber contains no chlorides or sulfur, which is what keeps it from attacking the cable insulation or connector over time.
4) What else can I use the 8426-11 cold shrink tube for besides splices?
Beyond insulating a splice, it's used to seal terminal lug barrels, conduit couplings, and conduit-to-cable breakouts, and for general mechanical protection and cable repair. Anywhere you need a watertight elastomeric seal over an irregular shape within its 1.185 in expanded to 0.547 in recovered diameter range.
5) Is the 3M 8426-11 halogen free?
No. The 8426-11 is a black EPDM rubber tube and is not a halogen free product. If your facility spec calls for halogen free materials in cable accessories, this one will not meet it.
6) How many 8426-11 insulators come in a case and what is the 3M catalog number?
The 8426-11 is sold 10 per case. The manufacturer part number is 8426-11 and 3M's catalog number is 7000006133. It's made in the USA.
