These new heat shrink tubes from DEI will make wiring your car both safe and easy.


Design Engineering, Inc has just expanded its line of high-temp shrink tubes.  A selection of 3-, 6-, and 9mm sizes have been combined in an assortment pack consisting of a four-foot length of each. These three new sizes join the existing line of 12, 18 and 24mm, and make a great addition to any home or pro shop that sees electrical wiring.


Shrink tubes have long offered an excellent way to insulate and protect electrical connections from dust, solvents, and other foreign material as well as providing strain relief. Other uses include wire insulating, connections, and terminals, and DEI heat shrink tubing also meets the material and functional properties of MIL Spec DTL-23053/5C.


Hi-Temp Shrink Tubes’ 3:1 shrink ratio remains flexible after shrinking, and due to its thick wall construction is capable of withstanding temperature ranges of -67°F (-55°C) to 275°F (135°C) with a maximum operating temperature of 394°F (201°C) during short durations of 30 to 60 minutes.  Hi-Temp Shrink Tubes are easy to install by applying 120° F to 180°F of heat, and once formed, make a water-tight seal. These shrink tubes are made from a professional grade flame retardant polyolefin.


As an alternative to plastic ties and tape, Hi-Temp Shrink Tubes can be used to bundle wires, cables and hoses, to repair wire, splicing, termination, and offers corrosion and abrasion protection.
