How to Use Heat Shrink Tubes, Cable Joints & Cable Repair Sleeves

  • Measure the wire diameter.
  • Choose a heat shrink tube of appropriate size with focus on internal diameter and post-heated size. It should be loose fit at pre-heat and snug fit once heated post heating. Pro-tip: The shrunken sleeve diameter should be slightly smaller than the cables diameter.
  • Measure the length of heat-shrink tubing. It should be slightly longer than the concerned section of cable. Most heat-shrink sleeves shrink longitudinally also around 5-15%.
  • Cut the tube to get appropriate length.
  • Slide the tube onto the wire to cover the exposed/ damaged section
  • Use a heat gun to shrink the tube and heat the tube until it tightly secures the wire
