3M 7000031588 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wire or connectors will the 3M FP-301 color assortment kit cover?
The FP-301 assortment covers a wide span because it shrinks 2:1. The largest tubing in the range goes on at a 2.0 inch (50.80 mm) expanded inner diameter and recovers down to 1.0 inch (25.4 mm), so anything from a single conductor up to a sizable bundle or lug barrel is in scope as long as the part slides over the connector before heating and the recovered size is smaller than what you are covering.
2) What temperature does FP-301 tubing need to shrink, and how hot can it run afterward?
It starts recovering at 100 degrees C, which a standard electrical heat gun reaches easily. Once installed it holds a continuous operating range of -67 F to 275 F (-55 C to 135 C), so it is fine in engine compartments, unconditioned mechanical rooms, and outdoor panels.
3) Is 3M FP-301 heat shrink UL listed and rated for 600V work?
UL Listed under File E-39100 and CSA Certified, and the tubing is flame retardant for applications up to 600V. The one exception is the clear tubing, which is not flame retardant. It also passes the UL 224 all-tubing flame test and is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption.
4) Does this 3M tubing meet a military spec for aerospace or defense wiring?
Yes. FP-301 is built to AMS-DTL-23053/5, Class 1, the flexible polyolefin heat shrink spec used on military and aerospace harnesses. Clear material is the Class 2 variant. If your drawing calls out 23053/5 Class 1, this is the material it is asking for.
5) Why buy the color assortment instead of a single color of heat shrink?
Color coding. The assortment kit ships multiple colors so a crew can mark phases, polarity, or circuit IDs at the splice without adding separate wire labels. Every color in the kit carries the Class 1 flame retardant rating; only clear drops to Class 2 and is not flame retardant. Ordered as a case of 5 kits, 133 units total.
6) Where is 3M FP-301 heat shrink tubing made, for Buy American or TAA jobs?
Made in the United States. That matters on federal, military, and institutional contracts where domestic origin is written into the purchase order. The part number to cite is 3M 7000031588.
7) Will FP-301 corrode the copper or tinned terminals it covers?
No. The material is non-corrosive, so it can go directly over copper conductors, tinned lugs, and bare terminal barrels without attacking the metal over time.
8) How tough is 3M FP-301 tubing once it is shrunk down on a harness?
Tensile strength runs 2400 psi and dielectric strength is 900 V/mil, which is why it holds up as strain relief and split-resistant covering on wire harnesses rather than just as a cosmetic sleeve. Common uses are harnessing, wire marking, bundling, and component packaging.
