Ideal Industries 46-316 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does IDEAL 46-316 heat shrink meet UL requirements for 600V wiring?
Yes. The 46-316 meets UL 486D at 125 C, VW-1 flame rating, 600V. The VW-1 rating is the vertical flame test specifiers usually call out for insulating sleeving in commercial work, and the 600V rating covers standard branch circuit and control wiring.
2) Is thin-wall heat shrink like the IDEAL 46-316 the right choice, or do I need adhesive-lined?
Thin-wall, non-lined tubing like the 46-316 is for electrical insulation, strain relief and bundling light-duty harnesses. It gives you a snug mechanical cover but no moisture seal. If the splice is buried, direct buried, submerged, or exposed to weather where water intrusion is the concern, you want an adhesive-lined dual-wall tubing instead. For indoor panel work, disconnect terminals, in-line components and general splice insulation, thin-wall is what the job calls for.
3) Can IDEAL 46-316 heat shrink be used outdoors or in an unconditioned space?
It is UV resistant and rated for an operating range of -55 C to +125 C, so exterior runs, rooftop equipment, attics and unheated mechanical rooms are all inside its window. It also resists common fluids and solvents, which matters in shop and plant environments.
4) How many pieces come in an IDEAL 46-316 pack?
One hundred pieces per pack, each 6 inches long in 1/4 inch OD. That is a stocking quantity for a service van or a maintenance crib rather than a single-job buy, and all 100 are the same size, so if a job needs mixed diameters you will need other sizes alongside it.
5) Is IDEAL 46-316 heat shrink RoHS compliant for a green building spec?
It is RoHS compliant, and the material carries no PBBs or PBBEs. That satisfies the restricted-substance line item that sustainable distributors and institutional procurement groups typically flag on electrical consumables.
