Funk Motorsport Black Heat Shrink – Heat Protection Sleeving Accessory

Funk Motorsport Black Heat Shrink for Heat Protection Sleeving

Secure and Professional Heat Management Finishing

The Funk Motorsport Black Heat Shrink is a practical accessory designed to provide a secure, neat, and durable finish to your heat protection sleeving installations. Whether you are building a high-performance track car, preparing a drift vehicle, or upgrading your road or off-road machine, this heat shrink ensures your sleeving remains in place and protected from the rigours of motorsport and daily use.

How Funk Motorsport Black Heat Shrink Works

This accessory is intended to be used at the ends of heat protection sleeving, such as thermal wraps or induction kit sleeves. By applying heat, the shrink tubing contracts tightly around the sleeving, locking it in place and preventing fraying or movement. This enhances both the appearance and longevity of your heat management solutions, supporting consistent thermal protection throughout your engine bay or exhaust system.

Where to Use This Heat Shrink Accessory

The Funk Motorsport Black Heat Shrink is ideal for:

• Securing thermal sleeving on wiring looms, hoses, or induction kits
• Finishing off heat protection wraps on turbo lines or exhaust components
• Motorsport builds where reliability and presentation matter
• Off-road, track, and performance road vehicles requiring robust heat management

It is especially useful when installing sleeving in areas exposed to vibration, movement, or high temperatures, helping to prevent accidental slippage or exposure of underlying components.

Key Benefits of Funk Motorsport Black Heat Shrink

• Provides a secure, professional finish to heat sleeving installations
• Helps prevent fraying and movement of sleeving under harsh conditions
• Supports effective heat management by maintaining full coverage
• Simple to cut and apply for custom lengths and fitments
• Available in 12mm and 18mm diameters to suit various sleeving sizes
• Clean black finish for a discreet and tidy appearance

Installation and Usage Guidance

To install, simply cut the Funk Motorsport Black Heat Shrink to your desired length. Slide it over the end of your chosen heat protection sleeving, then apply a suitable heat source (such as a heat gun) until the tubing contracts tightly around the sleeving. Ensure the area is clean and free from oil or debris for optimal adhesion and finish. This process is quick and can be performed during initial installation or as part of maintenance and upgrades.

Technical Specifications

Why Use Heat Shrink for Heat Management?

In high-performance and off-road environments, heat protection sleeving is essential for safeguarding wiring, hoses, and induction components from damaging temperatures. However, without secure ends, sleeving can shift or fray, reducing its effectiveness and exposing critical parts to heat. Funk Motorsport Black Heat Shrink addresses this problem by locking sleeving in place, ensuring consistent thermal protection and a tidy engine bay or underbody layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of sleeving is this heat shrink compatible with?

It is designed for use with most heat protection sleeving, including thermal wraps and induction kit sleeves. Always check the starting diameter to ensure compatibility with your chosen sleeving.

How do I apply the heat shrink for best results?

Cut the heat shrink to length, slide it over the sleeving, and use a heat gun or similar tool to shrink it until it fits snugly. Avoid open flames to prevent damage to the sleeving or heat shrink.

Can I use this product in high-temperature areas?

Yes, it is suitable for use in engine bays and near exhaust components, but always ensure the heat shrink is not in direct contact with surfaces exceeding its material limits.

No, once shrunk, it cannot be removed and reused. For maintenance or upgrades, simply cut off the old heat shrink and apply a new section as needed.

What sizes are available and how do I choose?

Funk Motorsport Black Heat Shrink is available in 12mm and 18mm starting diameters. Select the size that best matches the outer diameter of your sleeving for a secure fit.

Do I need any special tools to install this?

A standard heat gun is recommended for even shrinking and a professional finish. Scissors or a sharp blade can be used to cut the heat shrink to length.
