Ideal Industries 46-381 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What cable sizes do the IDEAL Thermo-Shrink medium wall end caps cover?
Three sizes cover the range: 46-381 for 12-6 AWG, 46-382 for 4-3/0 AWG, and 46-384 for 500-1,000 MCM. Pick by the finished cable diameter you are capping, not just the conductor label, since the cap has to slide over the jacket before recovery.
2) Can these heat shrink end caps be used on direct buried cable?
Yes. The Thermo-Shrink medium wall end caps are recommended for both open air and underground power distribution cables with PVC, lead or XLPE sheaths. The internal hot melt adhesive flows on heating and forms a watertight seal against moisture ingress at the cable end.
3) What voltage are these IDEAL end caps rated for?
They are made to protect power cables up to 1000V, and they are also used on telecommunication cable. For anything above 1kV you need a medium voltage cap, not this one.
4) How many end caps come in a pack?
Each pack is 100 caps of a single size. That is a stocking quantity for a contractor or MRO crib rather than a one-off repair, so if you cap mixed cable sizes you will be ordering more than one pack.
5) Will a heat shrink end cap hold up outdoors on exposed cable ends?
Yes. The cap is thermally stabilized cross-linked polyolefin and is UV resistant, and it protects the cable end against oxidation, ozone and UV radiation. That is what separates it from taping a cable end, which breaks down in sunlight.
6) Do I need a separate sealant or tape with these caps?
No. The caps come pre-coated inside with a hot melt adhesive that melts as you shrink the cap down, so the seal is built in. All you add is heat from a torch or shrink gun.
7) Is a shrink end cap the right choice for capping spare or de-energized feeders during a tenant fit-out?
It is the standard method for sealing off an unused cable end. The cap slides over the end of the cable, shrinks down and seals with adhesive, giving a watertight closure on power and control cords that stays put better than tape. Match the cap to the cable size: 12-6 AWG, 4-3/0 AWG, or 500-1,000 MCM.
