Pearl Heatshrink Tubing 4.5mm Box 10M Wire and Cable (PHS48BK)

Description

Genuine Pearl · Part no. PHS48BK

Pearl PHS48BK is 4.5mm heat-shrink tubing, 10m in a box, the middle size of Pearl's range: right for covering crimped butt connectors and soldered joints on everyday auto cable. Once heated it grips the joint, insulating it against shorts and shielding it from moisture and rubbing.

Good to know

• Which joints suit 4.5mm? Ones the tube can slide over before shrinking but will grip tightly afterwards; check over the thickest part, usually the crimp or a solder joint.
• How do I shrink it neatly? Centre the tube over the joint, then play a heat gun across it, turning the cable, until it closes down evenly; keep heat off nearby plastic and wiring.
• Can I use it on a joint I've already made? Only if the tube can still be threaded on from a free cable end; otherwise slit heat-shrink won't seal, so cut and remake the joint with the tube in place.

Which one?

The same size in red is the Pearl Heatshrink Tubing 4.5mm Red Box 10M Wire and Cable (PHS48R); for thinner wire Pearl makes PHS32BK (3mm), and for thicker joints PHS64BK (6mm).
