Pacer 1/8 in. Heat Shrink Tubing Black 3:1, 3-Pack
Pacer 1/8 in. Heat Shrink Tubing Black 3:1, 3-Pack — Product description
Pacer Group heat shrink tubing in the 1/8 inch size, black, with a 3:1 shrink ratio for a tight grip over lugs and terminals. Each piece is 3 inches long and the pack gives you three, sized for battery cable assemblies and terminal ends.
This is Pacer Group heat shrink tubing in the 1/8 inch size, cut to 3 inch lengths and sold three to a pack. It's black, with a 3:1 shrink ratio, which means it pulls down tight over a wide range of wire and terminal sizes. Pacer built this one for battery cable assemblies, so it's a natural fit when you're making up ground straps, battery leads, or the lug end of a heavy cable run.
The 3:1 ratio is the part that matters here. A lot of thin-wall tubing only shrinks 2:1, which leaves it loose over a bulky lug barrel. This grabs down snug and covers the transition from cable to terminal for a clean, finished end. Pacer rates it for an operating range of -55 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
At 3 inches each, these pieces are sized for terminal ends and splice covers, not long cable runs. Keep a pack in the rigging kit. When you crimp a new battery lug, slide a piece on first, then shrink it down with a heat gun and you're done.

Frequently asked questions
What does the 1/8 inch measurement refer to?
That's the tubing's supplied inside diameter before you shrink it. With the 3:1 ratio it pulls down to about a third of that, so it covers small battery leads, terminal barrels, and splices. Measure the largest point it needs to slide over and make sure the tubing fits over it before you apply heat.
What's the shrink ratio?
It's 3:1, so the tubing shrinks to roughly one third of its supplied diameter. That higher ratio lets one size cover a wider range of wire and terminal shapes than standard 2:1 tubing.
How do I shrink it down?
Slide the tubing into place, then apply even heat with a heat gun until it pulls down tight. Keep the gun moving so you don't scorch it. A lighter works in a pinch, but it's easy to burn the tubing that way, so a heat gun is the better tool.
How many pieces come in a pack?
Three. Each piece is 3 inches long.
What temperature can it handle?
Pacer rates it for an operating range of -55 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
