|
|
Anyone have some tips and tricks to get this stuff on? I am trying to install the 1/2 sleeve on 10/3 wire. The sleeve is good up to 3/4 of an inch and the wire is only .67 inches. So it should fit
Thanks

Yup, it almost like the PET sleeve is not as big as it states. I'm thinking of trying some dish soap as dumb as that sounds.

Tried the dish soap and no go. Then I took a caliper to the compressed sleeve and it's OD is .64 inches, so yes, smaller the the 10/3 wire and false advertising on the product.

I figured so but it was a last ditch effort, going to see if I can return it.
