PVC 2:1 Heatshrink Tubing
Shrinks To 1/2 its original diameter!
PVC tubing is a Polyvinyl Chloride heatshrink
tubing that shrinks to 1/2 its original diameter.
During the shrinking operation, the tubing will
encapsulate any device inside of it at the time
and will assume the contour of that device.
Ultra clear PVC heatshrink tubing is ideal for
application where complete transparency is
required. Perfect for protecting exposed
wires and cables on motorcycles and custom
automobiles.
Resists gasoline, oil, and common chemicals;
provides protection from abrasion and severe
environments.
Perfect tubing for application where
complete transparency is required.

Measure the Shrinkflex® tubing to length
and cut with a scissor. The thickness of
your bundle, as well as the desired final
appearance, will determine the length of the tubing you
cut. Generally, a piece 1 1/2” - 2” long will accommodate
almost any need. Single wires, or smaller bundles, require
shorter pieces.
Slip the Shrinkflex® tubing over the
bundle and position it so that both the
sleeved and unsleeved portions are suf-
ficiently covered. Notice the small pieces of tubing in-
stalled on single wires as part of a color coding system. If
your project requires multiple operations, always work up
from the smallest to the largest bundle.
Gently apply heat to Shrinkflex® tubing
from a heat gun, hair dryer or torch with
an appropriate attachment. Keep the
heat source far enough away so that hot metal or direct
flame does not come in contact with the tubing, wires or
sleeving. Move the heat around the bundle to prevent
damaging the sleeving and to ensure that all areas of the
tubing have been shrunk. Once cooled, your installation
is complete.
