Pearl Heatshrink Tubing 6mm Box 10M Wire and Cable (PHS64BK)

Description

Genuine Pearl · Part no. PHS64BK

Pearl PHS64BK is the largest of the three Pearl heat-shrink sizes here: 6mm tubing, 10m in a box, for thicker cables, bigger crimp connectors and bundling a few wires together at a junction. Heated, it shrinks down to a tight, insulating sleeve that keeps damp and grit off the joint.

Good to know

• What is 6mm good for? Joints in heavier cable, ring and spade terminal barrels, and tidying where several thin wires leave a loom; it must still grip firmly once shrunk, so don't use it on very thin single wires.
• Do I need a heat gun? Yes, ideally: heat-shrink tubing goes on the wire before the joint is made, then is shrunk with a heat gun; a naked flame can scorch or split it.
• Where does heat-shrink help most on a car? Anywhere a joint sees water, road salt or vibration, such as under the car, in door hinges and at trailer or towbar wiring.

Which one?

For smaller joints Pearl makes PHS48BK (4.5mm, 10m) and PHS32BK (3mm, 15m); the Pearl Heatshrink Tubing 4.5mm Red Box 10M Wire and Cable (PHS48R) is the red option.
