The Connect
Braided Fabric Heat-Shrink Sleeving Master Kit (part number
34327) brings a simple, robust solution to one of the workshop’s most common problems — protecting and tidying wiring looms, hoses and battery cabling where abrasion, fluids, heat and vibration are a concern. Supplied as a complete master kit — including a butane hot-air gun — this pack gives professionals and enthusiasts everything needed to fit flexible, abrasion-resistant sleeving that shrinks to a tight, protective cover.
The braided, fabric heat-shrink sleeving reduces wear, chafing and vibration noise while improving harness appearance. The shrink ratio is 2:1 when heated using the supplied butane hot-air gun (also available as Laser Tools’
8815). Rated for −40°C to +125°C; resists water, oils, hydraulic fluid, fuels and antifreeze. Supplied in a tough plastic storage case with carry handle — ideal for workshop or mobile use.
Kit contents:
- 5 × lengths of braided heat-shrink sleeving: 12 mm × 2 m, 20 mm × 2 m, 40 mm × 2 m, 60 mm × 2 m, 80 mm × 2 m.
- Butane hot-air gun (Laser Part No. 8815).
- Plastic storage case with carrying handle.
Where it helps:
- Wiring looms and connector runs on cars, vans, classic restorations and race vehicles.
- Battery cabling and HV harness protection (non-conductive sleeving for mechanical protection; always follow OEM insulation procedures for HV systems).
- Coolant and fuel pipes, brake and hydraulic lines where chafe and vibration wear is a risk.
- Marine, industrial and robotics applications — anywhere flexible, durable protection is needed.
- Cosmetic finishing for engine bays and restorations.
Key benefits:
- Durable protection: braided fabric resists abrasion and road fluids, extending the life of wiring and pipes.
- Vibration damping & noise reduction: the sleeve absorbs movement between components, helping reduce rattles.
- Neat, professional finish: shrinks to a snug fit for a tidy, factory-style appearance.
- Rodent & abrasion defence: can help reduce the risk of nibbling damage on dormant vehicles when fitted correctly.
- Fast to fit: butane hot-air gun makes on-vehicle application simple without needing mains power.
- Flexible & reworkable: conforms to bends and branches; easy to cut to length and replace if needed.
Top-up sleeve packs are available in 2 metre lengths so you can replenish commonly used sizes without buying the full kit.
