Whether you're building a custom wiring harness, protecting a large conduit bundle, or color-coding a complex electrical panel, having the right 60mm heat shrink tubing on hand makes the difference between a clean, lasting repair and one that needs redoing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach listing covers a single continuous length of tubing — available in 1 Metre (≈3.3 ft), 2 Metre (≈6.6 ft), 5 Metre (≈16.4 ft), or 10 Metre (≈32.8 ft) — with an inner diameter of 60mm (≈2.36\") before shrinking. Made from polyolefin with a 2:1 shrink ratio, the tubing shrinks down to approximately 30mm (≈1.18\") when heat is applied.
