Protect and insulate compatible electrical connections with Dr.Light Heat-Shrink Tubing. This pack contains 50 pre-cut black tubes, each measuring 6mm in diameter and 100mm in length.

When heated correctly, the tubing contracts around a compatible wire, cable joint or connector to provide a neat protective covering. The pre-cut pieces are convenient for electrical repairs, lighting installations, cable organisation and general workshop projects.

How to Use

Disconnect the equipment from power before starting. Select a tube that can slide over the wire, joint or connector before shrinking.

Cut the tubing to the required length if necessary. Slide it onto the wire and move it away from the connection point while joining or repairing the conductors.

Position the tubing centrally over the completed connection. Apply controlled, even heat using a suitable heat gun, moving continuously around the tube until it contracts securely. Avoid overheating one area.

Allow the tubing to cool completely before handling, testing or reconnecting the equipment to power.

Compatibility / Applications

Suitable for compatible:

Electrical wires
Cable joints
Lighting connections
Wire terminals
Cable repairs

Safety Information

Disconnect all electrical power before working on wires or connections. Confirm that the circuit is de-energised using an appropriate tester.

Use a suitable heat gun in a ventilated area and follow its operating instructions. Keep hot tools away from skin, flammable materials and surrounding components. Do not use an open flame, as it can burn the tubing, damage insulation or start a fire.

Allow the tubing and nearby components to cool before touching them. Heat-shrink tubing is not a substitute for correct wiring, approved connectors or professional electrical work. Consult a qualified electrician when working with mains-voltage installations or if compatibility is uncertain.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pieces are included?
The pack contains 50 heat-shrink tubes.

What size is each tube?
Each piece measures 6mm in diameter and 100mm in length.

What colour is the tubing?
The tubing is black.

Are the tubes pre-cut?
Yes. They are supplied as individual 100mm pieces.

Can the pieces be shortened?
Yes. A piece can be cut to the required length before heating.

How is the tubing shrunk?
Apply controlled, even heat using a suitable heat gun until the tube contracts around the connection.

Can I use a lighter or open flame?
An open flame is not recommended because it can burn the tubing, damage the cable or create a fire hazard.

What shrink ratio does it have?
The shrink ratio is not stated clearly on the visible packaging.

Is it adhesive-lined?
The packaging does not state that it has an adhesive lining, so this should not be assumed.

Will 6mm tubing fit every cable?
No. It must be wide enough to slide over the cable or connector before shrinking and small enough to contract securely around the finished connection.

Can it be used for electrical repairs?
Yes, for compatible applications. The connection must first be made correctly and safely using appropriate electrical methods.
