3M 7010398985 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable sizes does the 3M ITCSN-0800 heat shrink sleeve fit?
The ITCSN-0800 covers 8 AWG through 1/0 AWG cable. It goes on at a 0.8 in (20.3 mm) expanded inner diameter and recovers down to 0.2 in (5.1 mm), a 3:1 shrink ratio, so it grips the full range from a small 8 AWG conductor up to a 1/0 splice body. If your splice is larger than 1/0, step up to the next ITCSN size rather than forcing this one.
2) Can 3M ITCSN-0800 heat shrink be direct buried or used in a wet vault?
Yes. The ITCSN-0800 is rated for direct burial, and the adhesive lining is what makes that work: as the tubing recovers, the adhesive flows and seals the cable jacket so moisture can't track into the splice. 3M lists it for direct-buried, submersible, and dig-in repairs. It is also non-corrosive, so it won't attack the conductor or connector over time.
3) Is 3M ITCSN-0800 heat shrink flame retardant?
No. The ITCSN-0800 is classed non-flame retardant. If your spec or facility code calls for a flame retardant sleeve in a plenum, riser, or interior cable tray run, this is the wrong part and you need a flame retardant tubing instead. It is fine for buried, below-grade, and enclosed splice work where that requirement doesn't apply.
4) How hot does a torch or heat gun need to get to shrink 3M ITCSN tubing?
Minimum shrink temperature is 250 F (121 C). Any standard electrical heat gun or a soft propane flame will get there. Work the heat evenly around the circumference and move from the center outward so the adhesive pushes air out the ends; you know it's done when adhesive beads out at both ends of the 6 in sleeve.
5) Will this 3M sleeve hold up outdoors in freezing winters and hot equipment rooms?
The service range is -67 F to 230 F (-55 C to 110 C max), which covers outdoor pedestals, rooftops, and hot switchgear rooms. The cross-linked polyolefin wall is heavy wall rather than thin wall, so it also takes abrasion, corrosion, and chemical exposure in a duct or handhole.
6) Can I use this heat shrink sleeve over a lug or a bolted connector instead of a splice?
Yes, within the size range. 3M lists the ITCSN sleeves for physical protection of high voltage air-insulated connectors or lugs as well as for insulating secondary splices. The limit is geometry: the connector and cable have to slip inside the 0.8 in expanded ID before you apply heat, and the recovered 0.2 in ID has to be small enough to seal onto the cable jacket on both sides.
7) Does the 3M ITCSN-0800 meet RoHS for a government or institutional spec?
It is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption, UL Listed and CSA Certified, and made in the United States. That covers the boxes most public agency and institutional submittals ask for on splice materials.
8) What is the difference between heavy-wall adhesive-lined shrink like the ITCSN and ordinary thin-wall heat shrink?
Thin-wall tubing is an insulator and a dress cover, nothing more. The ITCSN-0800 is a heavy-wall, adhesive-lined cross-linked polyolefin sleeve: the thick wall carries mechanical duty (abrasion, chemical, corrosion protection) and the adhesive forms a moisture seal, which is what qualifies it for direct burial and submersible use. Tensile strength is 2400 psi. If the splice is dry, indoors, and only needs re-insulating, thin-wall is enough. If it goes in the ground or in water, use this type.
9) How many pieces come in a pack of 3M 7010398985?
3M part 7010398985 is supplied 3 pieces per pack, 12 packs per case, with each piece a 6 in (152.4 mm) black sleeve. For a crew doing a run of secondary splices, that's 36 sleeves per case. Shelf life on the adhesive-lined tubing is 3600 days.
10) Is the 3M ITCSN-0800 suitable for FTTH and CATV outside plant work?
Yes, 3M positions the ITCSN sleeves for access network applications including FTTH, FTTB, and CATV. That is the same duty it serves in utility secondary splicing: seal the splice, keep water out of the buried or pedestal-mounted connection, and give the joint a heavy wall against dig-in damage.
