None of the local shops have flexible flame retardant PVC sheathing for some reason. They all have the fiber sheathing, or the corrigated sheathing. I want to use what the build shop uses, but I can't seem to find any that's not cheap and fragile.

I took a chance and bought some through Amazon, but when it arrived, there were no markings on the material, so I decided not to use it. I don't want to risk buying some cheap sheathing that'll fall apart or not deal well with heat.

It's going to be used to run my Ham/GMRS radios to my 100ah LiFePo4 off grid power kit. Right now my Ham is connected to the engine battery, and I need to wire my GMRS. Figure I'd kill two birds with one stone and re-route them both.

I have everything I need except the flexible flame retardant PVC sheathing. 1/2" would do, maybe 30' or more so I have extra for future wiring needs.

Anyone have an idea where I can get some that's certified? With markings on them?

I bought 25' of the 1/2" sheathing, and after some effort I was able to cover the power cables for the Ham and GMRS radios.

Not sure why both radios shipped with two 15A fuses, one on red and one on black.

I plan to use the two bottom left slots, each will have a 15A fuse...am I worrying too much? :)

It's 1AM and I'm running on fumes, night!
