Overview
Braided Heat Shrink Tubing 20 mm 8 m Textile Sleeve for Wide Wire Bundles Shrink Ratio 2:1 Self-Extinguishing Electrical Installation

The braided heat shrink tubing combines the properties of classic heat shrink tubing and durable textile braiding. This piece has an internal diameter of 20 mm and a length of 8 m, making it suitable for very thick power cables, wide 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 eight-metre length is ideal for extensive electrical installation modifications, switchgear, and longer bundles of thick conductors.

Shrinkage 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 rating of VW-1 and withstands operating temperatures from −40 to +150 °C, making it suitable for wiring in vehicles or electrical appliances that heat up during operation. The tubing can be used to protect joints, terminate cables, extend conductors, and bundle several thin cables into one tidy bundle.

When selecting the size, refer to 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 20 mm is a practical addition for anyone repairing, modifying, or installing new electrical wiring. The length of 8 m is sufficient for extensive electrical installation modifications, switchgear connections, or for protecting longer bundles of thick conductors in both vehicles and homes. The textile surface protects the 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 vehicles.
