It prevents your wiring from being chaffed, rubbed through or caught up in any other car components etc. Available in a range of sizes and in either a complete convoluted tube (ideal when creating new harnesses or looms as the wiring can be passed through before it is attached), or a ready split convoluted tube - perfect when covering wiring looms that are already in the vehicle as it can just be fitted over the existing wiring.
