cnoe Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 My tired brain is searching for an answer. A thin plastic tubing is commonly used to insulate electrical connections on our birds such as the knife-connectors on my landing-light leads. Tubing slides over the connectors and is held in place with a tie-wrap. It's just like heat-shrink tubing but doesn't shrink when heated. I swear I've seen it sold on Aircraft Spruce but cannot find it now. Can somebody tell me what it's called or provide a link to it? Thanks.

cnoe Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 12 minutes of meditation and it came to me. "Spaghetti tubing". A.S. sells a vinyl version. I see McMaster has several varieties under the listing for cable sleeving. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLCarter Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I use heat shrink tubing, I use zip ties to hold it in place and I do not apply heat to shrink it over knife connectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
