Checking for live stock

The 3M 8428-12 is a pre-stretched EPDM rubber cold shrink tubing designed to provide environmental sealing and insulation to cable splices, terminations, and inline connections. The tube is shipped expanded on a removable core; once placed over the joint and the core is removed, it contracts to form a tight, moisture-resistant seal. It accommodates conductor sizes ranging from 500 to 800 kcmil (≈approximately 300–400 mm²) and operates reliably between –40 °C and +90 °C. Rated for 1,000 V dielectric performance, it is widely used in industrial, power, and field splice applications, requiring no heat or tools.

What Makes the 3M 8428-12 Cold Shrink Tubing Stand Out?

The 3M 8428-12 cold shrink tubing stands out thanks to its tool-free, heat-free installation, live “memory” EPDM contraction for tight sealing, broad conductor compatibility (500–800 kcmil), and robust environmental resilience up to 1 kV.

Functional Highlights of the Product:

  • Material: EPDM rubber (cold-shrink type)
  • Conductor/size range: 500–800 kcmil (≈300–400 mm²)
  • Relaxed tube length: ~12 inches (305 mm)
  • Operating temperature: –40 °C to +90 °C
  • Rated voltage: up to 1,000 V
  • Installation: tool-free (remove core after positioning)
  • Sealing: moisture-tight, maintains pressure, UV resistant
  • Suitable for direct burial, splice insulation, and connector seals
  • No heating required, safe for use in sensitive or hazardous zones.
