When you're building or repairing battery packs, bus bars, or large wiring harnesses, finding heat shrink tubing wide enough to cover the job cleanly is a real challenge. Undersized sleeves split at the seams; tape unravels over time. This 450mm wide heat shrink tubing is designed for makers, EV hobbyists, and electricians who need a clean, durable insulation wrap for large-diameter components — without improvising.
Each piece is a large-diameter polyolefin heat shrink sleeve with a 450mm flat width (approximately 17.7"), available in lengths of 1 Meter (≈39.4"), 2 Meters (≈78.7"), and 3 Meters (≈118.1"). Color options include Black, Blue, and Transparent to suit different wiring conventions and inspection needs. The tubing applies a uniform, snug wrap when heated with a standard heat gun.
Typical use cases include wrapping DIY lithium battery packs and 18650 cell groups, insulating bus bars and cable bundles in solar or EV builds, and protecting large electrical connections in automotive and marine wiring projects — all common applications where standard heat shrink tubing for battery wraps falls short in diameter.

Measure the total length of the component or battery pack you need to cover, then add at least 10–15% extra to account for shrinkage along the length axis. For most battery packs, 1 meter (≈39.4") is sufficient for a single large cell or small pack, while 2–3 meter lengths suit longer bus bars or multi-cell assemblies.
Large-diameter heat shrink tubing of this type typically uses a 2:1 shrink ratio, meaning the 450mm flat-width tube will shrink down to approximately 225mm in diameter when heat is applied. Confirm the exact ratio on the product label or contact us before ordering if your application requires a tighter fit.
Most polyolefin-based heat shrink tubing in this size range generally activates at temperatures between 90°C–120°C (194°F–248°F). A heat gun is strongly recommended over an open flame for even, controlled shrinkage without scorching the material.
Standard polyolefin heat shrink tubing is generally moisture-resistant and suitable for light outdoor use. For fully waterproof applications, look for adhesive-lined (dual-wall) variants. Contact us to confirm the specific moisture rating for this product before use in submerged or high-humidity environments.
Heat shrink tubing in this category is typically rated for low-voltage applications up to 600V. For high-voltage or industrial applications, please contact us to confirm suitability before purchase.
Black is the most common choice for general electrical insulation and UV resistance. Blue is useful for color-coding circuits or battery packs by polarity or circuit type. Transparent allows you to see labels, markings, or cell details through the sleeve — ideal for inspection builds or display projects.
Yes. The 450mm flat width is well-suited for wrapping large-format lithium battery packs, grouped 18650 cell assemblies, and similar DIY energy storage builds. Always verify the pack's outer diameter fits within the tubing's shrunk inner diameter before applying heat.
