Each piece is 3 inches long and the pack gives you three, sized for battery cable assemblies and terminal ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch diameter tubing with a 3:1 shrink ratio for a tight grip over lugs and terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish for a clean, finished look on battery leads and ground straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for a -55 to 110 degree Fahrenheit operating range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCut to 3 inch lengths, sized for terminal ends and splice covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree pieces per pack, built for battery cable assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Pacer Group reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does the 1\/8 inch measurement refer to?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThat's the tubing's supplied inside diameter before you shrink it.
