Ancor 1 x 48 Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing

Ancor 307948 Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing is a top - notch choice. Made from cross - linked polyolefin, it's far stronger than PVC and won't burn like PVC. The heat - activated adhesive lining seals out salt water, oil, acids, and sunlight, while also relieving strain. It has an impressive shrink ratio, shrinking to 1/3 of its original size at 257°F (125°C). It can operate in a temperature range from - 40°C to 110°C and is UL 224 certified. The package includes one 48 - inch (122 cm) long section with a 1 - inch (25.4 mm) diameter that shrinks to 5/16 inch (7.9 mm).

Using this Ancor heat shrink tubing is easy. First, make sure the area you want to cover is clean and dry. Slip the tubing over the object. Then, use a heat gun to apply heat evenly around the tubing. Keep the heat gun moving to avoid overheating. The tubing will start to shrink as it reaches 257°F (125°C). As it shrinks, the adhesive lining will create a tight seal. When using the heat gun, be careful not to get too close to the tubing to prevent burning it. Also, make sure you're in a well - ventilated area. For maintenance, store the tubing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth.
