Overview
Braided Heat Shrink Tubing 16 mm 20 m Textile Sleeve for Bulk Cables Shrink Ratio 2:1 Self-Extinguishing For Workshops and Services

The braided heat shrink tubing combines the properties of classic heat shrink tubing and a durable textile braid. This piece has an internal diameter of 16 mm and a length of 20 m, making it suitable for thick power cables, bulky wire bundles, and thick conductors. When heated with hot air, the braid shrinks at a ratio of 2:1 and tightly wraps around the protected conductor. The braided surface is flexible, highly abrasion-resistant, and according to the manufacturer, helps reduce cable noise. The twenty-metre pack is ideal for workshops, services, and larger projects where many thick cables and bundles need protection.

Shrinking begins at approximately 80 °C and full shrinkage is achieved around 120 °C. A hot air gun is sufficient for heating; the manufacturer also mentions the possibility of using a lighter. Once cooled, the tubing forms a continuous textile layer that protects the insulation of the conductors from mechanical damage, abrasion, and heat. The material is self-extinguishing with a flammability class of VW-1 and withstands operating temperatures from −40 to +150 °C, making it suitable for wiring in cars or electrical appliances that heat up during operation. The tubing can be used to protect joints, terminate cables, extend conductors, or bundle several thin cables into one tidy bundle.

When selecting the size, follow the diameter of the cable. The manufacturer recommends choosing tubing approximately 3 mm larger than the diameter of the protected conductor. For flat cables or bundles with a rectangular cross-section, the required diameter is calculated by adding the width and height, multiplying by two, dividing by 3.14, and adding 3 mm. The tubing is supplied in one piece, so you can cut it to the exact lengths you need before shrinking. Slide it onto the cable before connecting the connectors, then move it to the desired position and evenly heat it along its entire length.

The braided heat shrink tubing with a diameter of 16 mm is a practical accessory for anyone repairing, modifying, or newly installing electrical wiring. The length of 20 m is suitable for workshops, services, and extensive projects where you repeatedly modify wiring and need to have tubing readily available. The textile surface protects conductors from abrasion, the heat from the hot air gun quickly shrinks it, resulting in neatly and securely arranged wiring. Thanks to its self-extinguishing properties and resistance up to +150 °C, it can be used in electronics, automation, electrical appliances, and in cars.
