I purchase 3M in two sizes at the local electrical supply house.
http://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/connectors.htm The 400 and 800
which are .40"/.12" (10/3.1mm) and .80/.22" (20/5.6mm)
The large size easily fits over UHF and N connectors for LMR-400 and
LMR-600. The smaller fits nicely over Rg58 and 8X
. So for a connector on 8X put a 2" piece of 400 over the 8X abd butted
against thr larger portion of the connector. A piece of 800 ovrt thr
connector will seal on the 400 and nicely enclose the connectors. If
you don't want the glue on the connector, just wipe a "film of silicone
grease on it. I prefer it to stick to everything as in makes a very
secute and weather proof connection.
The wall thickness is a bit more than the less expensive grades found in
some stores. IIRC a 1 meter length of the 800 ran about $10.
Where do folks get there tubing from ? I need several sizes.
Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ
