The Anixter catalog shows Raychem Heat Shrink tubing going
up to 2.7 inches ID and they may not show all of the sizes available
directly from Raychem.  These tubings are available with or without
a sealant coating inside.  Raychem TCS-27-12-S  or TCS-27-48-S
where the 27 is ID (2.7 inches) the 12 or 48 is the length (12 or 48
inches) and S is with sealant.
