  • Product typeCable Management & Conduit
  • Shrinks to 0.13 in for tight wire sealing
  • Thin 0.02 in wall adds minimal bulk to bundles
  • UV-resistant polyolefin withstands outdoor exposure
  • Flame-retardant material meets 600 V dielectric rating
  • Operates from -55 to 125 °F in harsh environments

Heat Shrink Tubing 0.27 in Black

This thin-wall polyolefin tube shrinks 2:1 from 0.27 in to 0.13 in, covering wire sizes 14 AWG to 8 AWG. It is flame retardant, UV-resistant and rated for -55 to 125 degrees F. The 6-inch length suits individual wire repairs and insulation tasks.

Suits single repairs not bulk jobs

The package contains individual pieces, so it fits occasional maintenance or field splices. Users needing continuous lengths or adhesive-lined seals for waterproofing should look elsewhere. The 600 V dielectric strength covers standard low-voltage circuits only.

Shrink ratio 2:1 decides fit

A 2:1 ratio means the tube halves its diameter when heated to at least 158 degrees F. Verify the wire bundle fits within the 0.27 in expanded diameter before ordering. The 0.02 in recovered wall thickness provides standard mechanical protection.
