250 MCM / 500 MCM Bulk Thick Wall Heat Shrink Tubing

250 MCM / 500 MCM Bulk Thick Wall Heat Shrink Tubing

    Engineered Products Company’s 250 MCM / 500 MCM Bulk Thick Wall Heat Shrink Tubing is a heavy-duty, adhesive-lined solution designed for direct burial and large-gauge cable insulation. Manufactured from the same premium material as EPCO’s popular packaged HST Thick Wall Tubing, this product delivers superior protection for high-amperage conductors in commercial, industrial, and utility applications. 

    This UL Listed (File #E123896) tubing meets the requirements of the 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC) Articles 110.14(B) and 300.5(C)(E) for proper dielectric insulation and secure underground installations. With a 3:1 shrink ratio, it provides a tight, moisture- and soil-resistant seal over splices and terminations, helping prevent corrosion and ensuring long-term performance. Available in custom cut lengths from 4" to 48", this bulk option allows contractors to order only the exact length needed for each job, reducing waste and controlling costs. 

    Ordering Made Easy: Simply add the required cut length (in inches) to the end of the part number. Example: One (1) 13" piece of 250 MCM / 500 MCM tubing: E00-902-013. Note: All bulk tubing is quoted per inch for precise jobsite planning and cost control.

    Is this heat shrink tubing approved for direct burial?

    Answer

    Yes. This bulk thick wall heat shrink tubing is UL Listed (File #E123896) and approved for direct burial applications, making it ideal for sealing 250 MCM to 500 MCM cable splices underground.

    Question

    What shrink ratio does this tubing offer?

    Answer

    It features a 3:1 shrink ratio, which provides a tight seal over a wide range of large-gauge cable diameters and reduces the number of tubing sizes you need to keep in stock.

    Question

    Can I order custom lengths?

    Answer

    Yes. You can order lengths from 4 inches to 48 inches by adding the exact cut length to the end of the part number (e.g., E00-902-013 for a 13" piece).
