Heat Shrinkable Tubing (Heat Shrink) (Ford Specification ESB-M99D56-A2)

Heat shrinkable tubing is available in various diameters for different splice sizes and
configurations. When shrunk, it forms a small, flexible hermetic seal.
Other methods (tape, PVC mold) do not provide a hermetic seal and are not recommended. Splice
balancing is critical with heat shrink insulation. If the splice is extremely unbalanced (more circuits
on one side than the other), heat shrink insulation will not provide a proper seal. Evaluate the use
of double terminals instead of splices where practical in these situations.
Recommended Splicing Method — Crimp (For 10 - 22 AWG Diameter Wire to Like Wire
Diameter)
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Strip wires to appropriate length.
