Help wanted. What do you call...

[cnoe]

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.

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.

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

Here in AZ if you do that it will shrink anyway.
