Check around. Tyco/Raychem has 10 year warranty. I'd imagine they actually expect it to last much longer so as not to incur costs if it really only last ten years. This is also based on running 24/7 for 10 years. So even here this stuff should last 20 years only running 6 months a year. When the rep was in last week he agreed older vintage didn't last as long. I've used it twice (mains only) and we ran two wires, one spare so it would be 2 screws should/when the first ever fail.
