IMCSN

Medium Wall Heat Shrink Tubing

Product Description

3M™IMCSN Medium Wall Heat Shrink Tubing is

designed to provide reliable performance for electrical

splices, connections, and terminations, as well as

mechanical and environmental protection. IMCSN is

fabricated from cross-linked polyolefin. The tubing is

highly split resistant, and fast-shrinking to provide

rapid installation. The tubing comes standard with a

factory-applied adhesive/sealant.

Product Features

• Fast and easy installation

• Resists puncture and abrasion damage

• Complete environmental protection

•Versatile, a minimum number of sizes cover the

entire range of applications

• Shrink ratio 3:1

• Resists acids and alkalies

• Bonds to a wide variety of substrates

• Reliable and proven

• UV resistant

Applications

• Primary electrical insulation for solid dielectric

wire and cable rated to 1000 volts

• For indoor, outdoor or overhead use

• Direct buried or submersible

• Insulating secondary splices

• Physical protection and moisture sealing of high

voltage air insulated connectors and lugs, such as

lug connections to bus bars

• Relocation of service

• Dig-in repairs

Product Selection

Selecting 3M IMCSN tubing is easy and

straightforward. The largest tubing that provides a

tight fit when fully recovered will produce the

maximum wall thickness. Final wall thickness is

proportional to the degree of tubing recovery.

Engineering/Architectural Specifications

The tubing must be usable both indoors and outdoors,

in overhead, direct-buried, or submerged applications

on cables rated up to 1000 volts. It is not adversely

affected by moisture, mild acids and alkalies, fuels,

oils, ozone, or ultraviolet light. It must be compatible

with and adhere to all types of cable jackets, including

rubber, plastic, or lead. It must conform to the

requirements of UL 486 D and sections 3.4 and 4.3 of

ANSI C119.1 1986.
