I noticed while I was picking up some zerk fittings for a rotating tower
project, that our local Fastenal store had a display of adhesive heat
shrink tubing.

Hello-
I am preparing some feedlines for my two towers and the installation of about 10 tower
mounted (mostly VHF/UHF) antennas. I will be using 1-5/8", 7/8" and 1/2"
heliax, all going back to N-type connectors on RG-214/U rotor loops; plus some LMR-400 coaxial
connectors on the masts.
I installed some 7/8" heliax connectors that came with adhesive lined heat shrink and I
really like it. The heat shrink sealed the connector to the cable. I wish to buy some of the same
for all of my connectors, plus some to cover the entire junction of various cables. The greatest OD
change I have is from 1-5/8" heliax (2.5" OD connector) down to an N-connector on
RG-214/U (0.81"). I see some 3:1 and 4:1 adhesive lined heat shrink on ebay (from overseas)
but thought I would ask what is the best brand or type and where to get it.
Thanks all, Byron WA5THJ
