I just wished that I was aware of the heat shrink clamps when I completed my water system. The first opportunity that I need to drain the radiators, I'll look into the heat shrink clamps. Typically how much can they shrink, 10%, 20%?

Thanks,

They list the range on the box. For instance, one of them is pn 32934. It fits hoses with OD's between 1-3/16'' and 1-1/2"
