I bought 3:1 in both regular and heavy-wall versions. When assembling a new
PL259 on RG8 type coax I use:
1/2 inch Heavy Wall Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink, p/n HS3AH-050
The 5/8 inch medium wall is also a good fit. (Curiously they don’t show a part
number for it on their website.) Just start at the link I supplied below and
it’s easy to fine. The medium or standard wall is probably best if you need it
to shrink substantially. The thick-wall stuff will get REALLY thick if it is
allowed to shrink way down.
