Does this tubing handle heat-sensitive applications well?
Yes, this tubing is highly suitable for delicate tasks because it features a low shrink temperature of 158° F (70° C), minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding components.
What is the expansion ratio of this tubing?
The RPI RPT576 offers a 2:1 shrink ratio. It starts with an outer diameter of 3/8 inch and reduces down to a finished outer diameter of 3/16 inch, providing a secure, tight fit for your connections.

Yes, once exposed to the required heat, the material permanently shrinks to its final 3/16-inch diameter, creating a tight, insulating sleeve that stays firmly in place.
Are these factory new components?
Yes, every package is guaranteed to be Factory New, ensuring you receive high-quality parts ready for immediate use in your maintenance or repair projects.
Is the material durable for industrial repair environments?
The tubing is engineered for utility and performance. It is a robust material designed for long-term durability and protection in demanding shop or plumbing environments.
