Question 1

Anybody else get short changed on the length?

Accepted Answer

Has anyone complaining of shorter lengths measured the sleeve off the reel before installing it over a bundle of wire?  If the sleeve is compressed to fit a bundle of wire it will be shorter than the flat, unfilled sleeve.  Perhaps they should explain that 25ft of flat 1/2" sleeve will not cover a 25ft  length of 1/2" diameter wire.  The sleeve will get shorter by increasing margins depending upon the diameter of the bundle it is fitted over.  Not saying that the company is NOT shorting the length of sleeve, just offering an explanation as to why it may appear to be shorter lengths.

Question 2

How do I know what size diameter I need?

Accepted Answer

Please measure the diameter of cables. For example, If the whole diameter of cables is 3/8'', you should buy 3/8'' PET braided wire sleeve. If the whole diameter of cables is 1/2'', you should buy 1/2''. One more thing, Is it possible for you to separate the cables and connector plug? If not, Although our PET sleeve can expand up to 150% in diameter, you have to pay attention that if the PET sleeve can successfully go through the big connector plug

Question 3

What temperature are these sleeves rated for?

Accepted Answer

The work's temperature of braided sleeve is -103 to 257 ℉, and it can be used in automotive engine.

Question 4

What size for 2/0 cable?

Accepted Answer

2/0 gauge’s copper wire diameter is 0.365''. 3/8''=0.375''. So 3/8'' PET braided wire sleeve is ok to fit 2/0 gauge. BUT there are rubber wrap the copper wire. I don't know how thickness the rubber is. Could you please measure the whole diameter of 2/0 gauge wire? For example, If the whole diameter of 2/0 gauge wire is 1/2'', you should buy 1/2'' PET braided wire sleeve. If the whole diameter of 2/0 gauge wire is 3/4'', you should buy 3/4''.One more thing, Is it possible for you to separate the wires and connector plug? If not, Although our PET sleeve can expand up by 50% in diameter, you have to pay attention that if the PET sleeve can successfully go through the big connector plug
