Overview

**Note: Less 10% discount for 100 FT. (per size)**

Permits flexible routing of cable harness while forming a neat, protective bundle. It twists on easily and quickly and allows lead-outs at any point. When installed, it may be gapped for greater economy and flexibility or it may be butted tightly for maximum abrasion resistance, insulation protection and greater rigidity. Nylon type-for use in wider temperature ranges with high resistance to abrasion and good solvent resistance.

Material Specifications

PE-FR:
  • Polyethylene (PE) + Flame Retardant (FR) = (PEFR)
  • Suitable for applications requiring a self-extinguishing material. Lower cost than polyamide 6 or teflon materials.

    PTFE:
  • Polytetrafluoroethylene -Teflon (PTFE)
  • Offers the widest operating temperature range of any material. It's chemically inert and non-flammable.

    PA6:
  • Polyamide 6 (PA6)
    Is recommended for use in enclosed enviroments where the possibility of fire exists. Self-extinguishing. Does not produce, any toxic or irritation, even when exposed to open flame or excessive temperatures. PA6 is six times as strong as polyethylene. Black polyamide 6 features the same properties as natural polyamide 6 with the added benefit of ab ultraviolet absorber so that it can be used in direct sunlight for long periods of time.

    I dont know how another customer could have made such a negative post regarding spiral wrap, especially if it was PFTE (Teflon), which I have found to be of excellent performance and withstands engine compartment heat year after year, with no degradation whatsoever

    Great service, fast shipping. I would definitely buy from Aircraft Spruce again and/recommend this company. Thanks!

    Spiral wrap tubing works great for bundling wires in the cockpit, along the floor and behind the panel. Makes for easy organization of wires. Highly recommended.

    Product was as ordered. Seeing the size gave me insight as to what I needed to order next time.

    Low cost way to add safety reserve to your airplane. These eliminate chafing concerns and provide a removable way to neatly bundle wires without ty-wraps or lacing. They can also protect fuel and vacuum lines. I was able to install some one-handed without undue difficulty in a hard to access area.

    Product is great, but the size chart shown is mis-leading. The max. diameter is not the diameter of the wire bundle, but something else.

    Started using it on panel upgrades instead of wires. Gives the final product a more professional look

    All of the Spiral Wrap Wire Protector Ive bought from Aircraft Spruce has proven to be useful and effective both (i) to bundle wires and (ii) to protect wires, cables and tubing (in particular, tubing that is part of our engine mount) from abrasion. HOWEVER, it is very difficult to order as the catalog (neither online or paper) DOES NOT STATE whether the provided dimension is the Inside Diameter or the Outside Diameter. In addition, while PE is defined as Polyethylene and NY is defined as Nylon, the stated materials are: PE-FR, PTFE, and PA6. While Im guessing FR means Fire Resistant and that PTFE is some form of Teflon, that is not stated in the catalog. And I have no idea what PA6 stands for. But for the above-described issues with the catalog, this product deserves a 5 star rating.

    VERY DISAPPOINTED. This spiral wrap tubing is not what I expected. It is thin and wimpy and SUPER expensive. There is wide, natural spacing in the spiral and I do not see how it will provide any benefit. I am going to return this to Aircraft Spruce for a refund. Aircraft Spruce needs to do a better job of providing accurate pictures and descriptive information in their catalog. If I had seen a picture of this stuff, I would never have ordered it. Stay away!

    Q: Does this product comply with the FAA requirements concerning smoke and fumes generated by the product in the event of fire or over heat condition?

    Unfortunately no, this product is not FAA approved for an over heat condition.

    Q: How is the size measured on this item? I have some 1/2 inch I ordered. PN 11-12312 and it looks like 1/4 in inside diameter before using. What size should I order to get 1/2 before use? Thanks

    The 3/4", our p/n 11-12334, is approx. .550".

    Q: What is the temperature range for the white spiral wrap? Is it the same as the Black?

    Temp range is -4*F to +176*F. There are different ratings depending on specific part number you choose.

    Q: Which size outside diameter (example 1/8, 3/16,1/4 etc.) Would fit around an ignition harness spark plug wire ?

    You would want the 1/4 one.

    Q: Which OD fits a 5/16 inch ID? Thanks

    The 1/2 OD has an .37 id, that would probably be the best option.
