This Ancor pack holds three heat shrink butt connectors for #8 wire, part number 309303. Each one has a sleeve of heat shrink tubing with adhesive built in. Heating the sleeve activates the adhesive, and the maker says the joint then forms a water-tight seal with vibration and strain relief. That makes it a sealed splice for 8 AWG runs.
Our take
The adhesive built into the sleeve is activated by heat, so the joint closes into a water-tight seal around the 8 AWG splice. The same sleeve gives the splice vibration and strain relief, which is the useful part for wiring on a boat.
