Pīt polyester sleeving Ø 11–17 mm, black, temperature range -50 to 150°C

Pīt polyester sleeving Ø 11–17 mm in black is a braided protective sleeve designed to bundle and protect cables, hoses and wiring harnesses. The sleeving provides mechanical protection while remaining flexible and lightweight. It maintains stability across a wide temperature range from -50 to 150°C and resists abrasion, making it suitable for demanding industrial, automotive and electrical installations where reliable insulation and orderly cable management are required.

Advantages

The braided polyester construction offers a balance of flexibility and strength, allowing the sleeve to expand slightly for easy installation over connectors and irregular shapes while conforming tightly around bundles to reduce movement and wear. Its wide operating temperature range ensures consistent performance in both low- and high-temperature environments. The material is abrasion-resistant and lightweight, which reduces added bulk without compromising protection. The black finish provides a neutral, professional appearance and helps conceal wiring for neat routing.

Suitable for

• Protecting and bundling electrical cables and wire harnesses
• Routing and abrasion protection for hoses and pneumatic lines
• Automotive cable management in engine bays and bodywork areas
• Industrial machinery and control panel wiring
• Equipment enclosures where compact, flexible protection is needed

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter range: 11–17 mm (expandable braided construction)
• Material: polyester braid
• Color: black
• Operating temperature range: -50 to 150°C
• Properties: flexible, lightweight, abrasion-resistant, expandable

How to use

Measure the cable bundle or hose to confirm that the nominal diameter range of 11–17 mm is appropriate. Slide the sleeving over the end of the bundle and feed it along the length, allowing the braided construction to expand as needed to accommodate connectors or terminations. For bundles with multiple branches, install the sleeving before final routing or use split sleeves or longitudinal cuts where appropriate. Secure the ends with heat-shrink tubing, cable ties or adhesive tape to prevent fraying and to fix the sleeve position.

Usage recommendations

avoid prolonged exposure to direct flames or concentrated heat sources despite the wide temperature range; inspect sleeving periodically in high-abrasion or high-vibration environments and replace if significant wear is observed. For UV-exposed outdoor applications, verify long-term resistance for your specific installation or consider additional protective measures. When routing near sharp edges, use edge guards or grommets to extend service life.
