Heat shrink terminals add an adhesive-lined sleeve that seals the entire connection — critical for below-deck, bilge-adjacent, or any installation where water contact is likely. For marine applications, heat shrink terminals are always the preferred choice where budget allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrip wire to the correct length so the conductor fills the barrel without extending beyond it. Crimp with a ratcheting crimper sized for the terminal gauge — do not use plier-style crimpers. After crimping, apply heat evenly with a heat gun (not an open flame) until the sleeve shrinks uniformly and adhesive is visible flowing from both ends. Allow to cool before handling. Do not over-heat — excessive temperature can damage the insulation or conductor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 825085 is the right terminal for any marine wiring job where a watertight, long-lasting connection is non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WEST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43866766737444,"sku":"825085","price":39.06,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/Heat_Shrink_Ring_Terminal_16_14_AWG_3_8_Stud_25-Pack.jpg?v=1776290129","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/heat-shrink-ring-terminal-16-14-awg-3-8-stud-25-pack-825085","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
