PVC Heat Shrink Tubing 150–200mm — Reliable Weatherproof Cable Sleeving for Large-Diameter Applications
When standard small-bore sleeving just won't cut it, electricians, fabricators, and serious DIYers reach for large-diameter PVC heat shrink tubing. Whether you're protecting battery packs, bundling thick wire harnesses, sleeving hydraulic hoses, or finishing pipe insulation, finding the right large-bore sleeve in the right color and length shouldn't be a hassle.
Each order includes a continuous length of PVC heat shrink tubing — available in sizes from 150mm (≈5.9" flat width) up to 200mm (≈7.9" flat width), and in lengths of 1m (≈3.3 ft), 2m (≈6.6 ft), 3m (≈9.8 ft), 5m (≈16.4 ft), and 10m (≈32.8 ft). The tubing is made from flexible PVC with a generally 2:1 shrink ratio, and is available in multiple colors including Black, White, Blue, Red, Clear, Gray, Green, Fruit Green, and Yellow.
Typical use cases include large cable bundle sleeving for automotive and marine wiring, protective weatherproof sleeving for outdoor conduit joints, color-coded identification of industrial pipe runs, and battery pack wrapping for e-bike and power tool packs — all scenarios where a durable, flexible large-diameter heat shrink tube for cables is essential.
ℹ️
Compatibility Note: This tubing is sized by flat (lay-flat) diameter. Always measure the outer diameter of your cable, pipe, or object before ordering. The tubing typically shrinks to approximately half its listed flat width when heat is applied. If you are unsure which size fits your application, contact us to confirm.
✅ Key Features of These Large-Diameter PVC Heat Shrink Tubes
-
🔥Heat-Activated Shrink Fit — Applies snugly around cables, pipes, and bundles with a standard heat gun; no adhesives or clamps needed for a clean, professional finish.
-
🌧️Weatherproof Moisture Barrier — PVC construction resists moisture ingress and dust, making this large-diameter weatherproof cable sleeving suitable for sheltered outdoor and industrial environments.
-
📏Wide Size Range — Available from 150mm to 200mm flat width, covering a broad range of large-bore applications from thick wire harnesses to battery packs and pipe joints.
-
🎨Multiple Color Options — Nine color choices (Black, White, Blue, Red, Clear, Gray, Green, Fruit Green, Yellow) make color-coding cable runs and pipe identification straightforward.
-
✂️Cut-to-Length Flexibility — Supplied in continuous rolls from 1m to 10m; cut to any length on-site to minimize waste and suit your specific project dimensions.
-
⚡Flexible PVC Construction — Remains pliable after shrinking, conforming to irregular shapes and allowing some movement — useful for cable harnesses that flex during operation.

Sizing Tip: The listed size is the flat (lay-flat) width, not the diameter of the object it will fit. For a round object, the maximum object diameter it can slide over is approximately: flat width ÷ π × 2. When in doubt, order one size up or contact us before purchasing.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right diameter for my cable or pipe?
Measure the outer diameter of the object you want to sleeve before shrinking. PVC heat shrink tubing typically shrinks to roughly half its listed flat width when heat is applied, so choose a size that is at least 10–20% larger than your object's diameter. For example, for a 75mm pipe, a 150mm (≈5.9" flat width) tube is generally a good starting point. When in doubt, size up.
What shrink ratio does this PVC tubing have?
PVC heat shrink tubing in this size range typically has a 2:1 shrink ratio, meaning it shrinks to approximately half its original flat diameter when heated. Confirm the exact ratio for your chosen size variant before ordering if precision fit is critical.
What temperature is needed to shrink this tubing?
PVC heat shrink tubing generally activates at temperatures between 70°C and 120°C (158°F–248°F). A heat gun set to low or medium is the most reliable tool. Avoid open flames, which can scorch or melt the material unevenly and create an uneven shrink.
Is this tubing suitable for outdoor or weatherproof use?
This PVC sleeving provides a weatherproof barrier that resists moisture and dust in most indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. For prolonged direct UV exposure or submersion, a polyolefin or adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing is generally recommended instead.
Can I use this for electrical cable insulation?
PVC heat shrink tubing is commonly used for bundling, color-coding, and light insulation of cables and wire harnesses. For high-voltage or safety-critical electrical insulation, verify the voltage rating with us before use, as ratings vary by wall thickness and size.
How do I choose the right length?
Measure the total run you need to cover and add 10–15% for overlap and trimming. This product is available in 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, and 10m lengths. Buying longer rolls generally offers a better per-meter value for larger projects.
What colors are available and do they fade over time?
Available colors include Black, White, Blue, Red, Clear, Gray, Green, Fruit Green, and Yellow. PVC colors are generally stable in indoor environments. In high UV-exposure settings, some fading may occur over time — Black is typically the most UV-stable option.
