— July 17, 2025 | 2 min read
At Narva, we know that clean, protected wiring is the hallmark of any professional automotive job. Whether you’re building a new loom, upgrading factory wiring, or tidying up an engine bay, your cable protection needs to be tough, easy to work with, and look the part. That’s exactly why we’ve introduced a premium range of Braided Heatshrink, Expandable Braided Sleeving, and Self-Closing Split Braided Tubing—all built to meet the demands of automotive professionals and DIYers alike.
Braided Heatshrink – Premium Protection with a Professional Finish
If you’re after serious mechanical protection without sacrificing aesthetics, Narva’s Braided Heatshrink delivers. Perfect for harness wiring bundles, this product combines high abrasion resistance with excellent heat absorption, making it ideal for areas exposed to friction, vibration or engine heat.
It’s also highly flexible, which means it’s easy to slide over looms and shape around bends. The 2:1 shrink ratio ensures a snug, professional finish once heat is applied. And with an operating temperature of -40°C to +125°C, it’s ready for the harshest environments under the bonnet or inside the cabin.
Certified to UL Standards, it’s a reliable choice for anyone serious about long-term durability and top-shelf presentation.

Expandable Braided Sleeve – Same Protection as Corrugated Tubing, Easier to Install, Slimmer Profile
Need a product that’s easy to install and adapts to various cable sizes? Our Expandable Braided Sleeve ticks all the boxes. It offers the same rugged protection as traditional corrugated tubing but with a significantly slimmer profile and far easier installation.

During setup, the sleeve expands to slide over plugs, connectors, and uneven bundles—then naturally contracts back for a tidy, secure fit.

It’s the ideal solution for applications where access is tricky or cable sizing varies. Not only is it automotive O.E. grade, it’s also lightweight, chemical resistant, heat resistant, and self-extinguishing—making it perfectly suited for industrial, marine, automotive, and 4WD applications.
Like our heatshrink, the expandable sleeving comes packaged in a convenient dispenser box, helping you stay organised and efficient in the workshop.
Self-Closing Split Braided Tubing – Quick Access, Total Protection
When you need to add protection to existing looms or wiring without disassembling connectors, Narva’s Self-Closing Split Braided Tubing is the go-to. The clever 25% edge overlap ensures full coverage even around inline plugs and splices, offering the same level of protection as fully enclosed tubing.

It’s easier to work with than traditional nylon conduit and provides excellent chemical and heat resistance while remaining ultra-flexible and lightweight. Combine it with our Braided Heatshrink for an ultra-clean finish that won’t compromise on durability.
A Complete Solution for the Automotive Professional
Whether you’re working on a classic restoration, a performance upgrade or a fleet maintenance job, Narva’s braided sleeving and tubing range is designed to help you do the job right—first time, every time. Built to OEM standards, engineered for real-world conditions, and designed with ease of use in mind, this range brings together function and finish like never before.
