Product overview

3M™ Cold Shrink Connector Insulators 8420 and 8430 Series are designed using 3M’s proprietary cold shrink delivery system. Products are supplied prestretched on a removable core for efficiency and ease of installation. Removal of the core (unwinding) after positioning the splice allows the product to shrink into position forming a moisture-tight seal.

3M™ Cold Shrink Connector Insulators 8420 and 8430 Series are designed using 3M’s proprietary cold shrink delivery system. Products are supplied prestretched on a removable core for efficiency and ease of installation. Removal of the core (unwinding) after positioning the splice allows the product to shrink into position forming a moisture-tight seal. The live memory action of the specially formulated EPDM material promotes a permanent, durable environmental seal and insulation, with a typical operating temperature range from -40–194°F (-40–90°C).The 8420 insulator meets requirements of ANSI C119-1 and Western Underground Guide 2.14 for secondary splices rated up to 1 kV.Applications: Primary electrical insulation for all solid dielectric (rubber and plastic) insulated wire and cable splicing rated to 1000 V. Good for repairs and environmental sealing for communication and other non-electrical applications.Important: Use insulation jacket or connector O.D. for final ordering criteria.* Mastic pads included for cable O.D. build-up. ** Kit contains adapters. *** These sizes are listed for availability only and are not designed to be usedas primary insulation. These tubes are for conduit sealing and breakouts. ****Maximum connector length: 5.625Point of Purchase packaging designated by P. Example: 8423-6P

If your installations need to be insulated, the choice is this 3M™ 8420 Connector Insulator. It doesn't need heat to activate its shrinking capabilities, but it still provides an airtight seal to prevent moisture from seeping in and ruining your wires. This connector insulator is ANSI Certified and RoHS 2011/65/EU Compliant for use in insulating wires and cable splices and a range of applications such as direct buried or submersible, dig-in repairs and secondary splices. It also provides protection for high-voltage, air-insulated connectors or lugs so you get the most use out of it.

  • Specially designed for primary insulation of solid dielectric insulated wires and cable splicing rated to 1000 volts
  • Simple installation which requires no tools
  • Sealing of terminal lug barrels, conduit couplings and conduit-to-cable breakouts
