Well in my shop currently I have PVC in 2.5 inch flat. That means it's circumference is 5 inch If I divide that by pi I ge a diameter of 1.591. I'm sure there is larger heat shrink. However I know two things about poly olaphan. 1. It takes less heat to shrink. this is good as larger diameters take slightly increased temps. 2. Poly Olephan is a 4/1 shrink where as PVC is a 2/1shrink. So you won't have to heat it long to get it to snug. Call McMaster Carr they seem to have goth packs of 6 6 inch pieces and 25 ft rolls of most of this. hope that helps
