This Assorted Thin-Wall Heat-Shrink Tubing Kit provides a convenient selection of pre-cut tubing for insulating, protecting and colour-coding electrical conductors and connections. It contains 216 pieces across seven diameters, with black, blue, clear, red, white and yellow/green tubing included to suit electrical, electronic, automotive and maintenance applications.
The tubing is manufactured from chemically cross-linked, thermally stabilised polyolefin with a 2:1 shrink ratio. It is flexible and resistant to abrasion, impact, common fluids and solvents, while its 600V rating supports general electrical use. All coloured tubing is flame retardant and UV stabilised; clear tubing is not flame retardant and should be selected with this limitation in mind. The complete assortment is supplied in a compartmented plastic storage box.
