Both declare no internal adhesive. Their 20 mm supplied-bore entries have different recovered limits:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Campo publicado<\/th>\n<th>3:1 single wall<\/th>\n<th>4:1 single wall<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Size entry<\/td>\n<td>20.0\/6.7 mm<\/td>\n<td>20.0\/5.0 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Minimum supplied ID<\/td>\n<td>20.0 mm<\/td>\n<td>\u226520.0 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maximum ID after recovery<\/td>\n<td>6.7 mm<\/td>\n<td>\u22645.0 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Adesivo interno<\/td>\n<td>Nenhum<\/td>\n<td>Nenhum<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>These are manufacturer declarations from the respective dimension tables, checked 9 October 2026. The 3:1 page establishes minimum and maximum through its column headings; the 4:1 page also prints the inequalities in each row.<\/p>\n<p>For hypothetical <strong>18 mm pass-over and 6 mm landing<\/strong> dimensions, both supplied minima clear the large feature. The 3:1 row&#8217;s 6.7 mm recovered maximum does not establish contraction below 6 mm; the 4:1 row&#8217;s 5.0 mm maximum does. That makes the latter a dimensional candidate, still subject to allowance and application review. It does not prove a sealed joint.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the published 6.7 mm limit. Replacing it with 20 \u00f7 3 would substitute nominal arithmetic for the actual declaration.<\/p>\n<h2>Check construction and duty alongside the ratio<\/h2>\n<p>The unlined 4:1 example shows why ratio cannot identify adhesive. Where a bonded interface is required, select an appropriate lined product and assess compatibility, contact geometry and sealing evidence. Use the <a href=\"https:\/\/yocl.com\/pt\/single-wall-vs-dual-wall-heat-shrink-tubing\/\">compara\u00e7\u00e3o entre parede \u00fanica e parede dupla<\/a> for that decision.<\/p>\n<p>Compare actual wall fields and their measurement states rather than assuming 4:1 is thicker or stronger. Also check coverage and declared longitudinal change, permitted recovery conditions, service temperature, electrical duty and required environmental evidence for the exact grade. Diameter ratio supplies none of those values.<\/p>\n<p>A tight exterior or visible adhesive at an end cannot by itself verify the complete sealing interface. If an installed sleeve is already loose, damaged or has an unverified seal, the <a href=\"https:\/\/yocl.com\/pt\/why-heat-shrink-tubing-splits-or-fails-to-seal\/\">heat-shrink failure guide<\/a> addresses that separate investigation.<\/p>\n<h2>Make the final choice from the products that pass<\/h2>\n<p>Keep 2:1 in consideration when its exact size meets both fit checks and the required function. Move to 3:1 or 4:1 when their documented recovery range solves a transition the lower-ratio candidate cannot cover. If several products pass, compare their construction, installed space, process and duty. If none passes, revise the exact size or connection arrangement instead of assuming extra heat will deliver extra recovery.<\/p>\n<p>For a YOCL size review, provide the largest pass-over dimension, smallest landing dimension, required coverage, jacket material and intended duty through the <a href=\"https:\/\/yocl.com\/pt\/heat-shrink-tubing-manufacturer\/#range\">gama de produtos de tubo termo-retra\u00edvel<\/a>.
