This PVC heat shrink tubing is available in an exceptionally wide range of sizes — from a compact 20mm flat width (Φ12.7mm inner diameter) all the way up to 600mm flat width (Φ382mm inner diameter) — so hobbyists, makers, and repair technicians can find the right fit without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach listing is sold per 1-meter length and is available in three colors: Clear, Black, and Blue. The tubing is made from flexible PVC with a 2:1 shrink ratio, meaning it shrinks to approximately half its original inner diameter when heat is applied. Size options are labeled by flat width and inner diameter (Φ) for easy selection — for example, the 82mm option has a Φ52mm inner diameter, and the 157mm option has a Φ100mm inner diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis versatile heat shrink sleeving is ideal for wrapping 18650 lithium battery cells and LiPo battery packs, bundling and color-coding wire harnesses in automotive and marine applications, and providing clean insulation on cable splices and terminal connections in home electrical and DIY repair projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003eℹ️\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eSize Compatibility Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Select your size based on the \u003cstrong\u003einner diameter (Φ)\u003c\/strong\u003e listed in each variant — this is the open-round diameter before shrinking.
