Ideal Industries 46-347 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire size does Ideal 46-347 heat shrink tubing cover?
The Ideal Thermo-Shrink heavy-wall tubing, model 46-347, is sized for splices on 6 through 1 AWG conductors. Each piece is 6 inches long, so you get roughly 3 inches of coverage on either side of a centered splice. Below 6 AWG or above 1 AWG you want a different size in the range.
2) Can this heat shrink be direct buried or used underwater?
Yes. The adhesive liner melts during shrinking and forms a complete environmental seal, which is why Ideal rates this heavy-wall tubing for above-grade, underground direct burial, and underwater splices. Heat it until the adhesive flows and shows at the ends, otherwise the seal is not made.
3) Does this heat shrink tubing meet UL and CSA requirements for a commercial job?
It is UL 486D Listed and certified to CSA C22.2 No. 198.2, and it also meets ANSI C119.1, IEEE 383 vertical flame test, MIL-DTL-23053/15, ANSI C37.20.2, ICEA S-19-8, Western Underground Guides Nos. 2.4 and 2.5, and NEMA insulation thickness requirements. That covers most spec language an institutional or utility inspector will be reading off the drawing.
4) What voltage and temperature is Ideal 46-347 heat shrink rated for?
600V, with a 90 degree C continuous operating temperature. The material is irradiated cross-linked polyolefin, so it holds that rating in industrial and utility splice work rather than softening like a general purpose thin-wall sleeve.
5) What is the shrink ratio, and will it still seal over a bulky connector?
3:1. That means the tubing recovers to one third of its supplied diameter, so it can slide over a compression connector or a butt splice that is noticeably fatter than the cable and still pull down tight onto the bare jacket on either side. A 2:1 thin-wall sleeve usually will not bridge that step.
6) Heavy-wall or standard heat shrink for an underground splice?
Use heavy-wall here. The heavy-wall design gives mechanical protection against backfill and rock, adds flame retardancy, and carries the adhesive liner that makes the joint watertight. Standard thin-wall tubing insulates but will not survive burial abrasion or seal out groundwater.
7) Do I slide the tubing on before or after I crimp the splice?
Before. Slide the sleeve well clear onto one conductor, make and torque the connection with an approved connector, then slide it back so it is centered on the splice with equal coverage each side. Heat from the center outward with a heat gun so air and adhesive push out the ends instead of trapping a void.
