Wot-Nots Heat Shrink Tubing – Assorted – Pack of 18 (PWN917)

Description

Genuine Wot-Nots · Part no. PWN917

Wot-Nots PWN917 is a pack of 18 assorted heat shrink sleeves in black and blue, with a 2 to 1 shrink ratio. Slip one over a crimped or soldered joint and warm it with a heat gun, or steam from a kettle, and it shrinks to seal and insulate the wiring.

Good to know

• What does 2 to 1 mean? Heat shrink with a 2:1 ratio shrinks to half its supplied diameter, so pick a sleeve that slides over the joint but will close tight on the cable.
• Kettle or heat gun? Steam works for small sleeves in a pinch, but a heat gun is quicker and shrinks evenly; dry the joint well after steaming.
• How long a piece should I use? Cut it to cover the whole joint plus a little bare insulation either side, so moisture can't creep in at the ends.

Which one?

For longer lengths, the Workshop Warehouse Heat Shrink Tubing – 100 mm Lengths (AB221) come in red and black. A bigger small-size pack is the Pearl PMA103A, 36 sleeves.
