Quick tip for keeping coax connectors dry on outdoor runs

I noticed a bunch of new guys on a job in Seattle last month were just taping over their F-connectors with electrical tape... it always fails after a few rain storms. You gotta use the silicone-filled heat shrink tubes instead, they seal way tighter and last for years. Anyone else run into this on their installs?

Yeah that's the only way to do it. Electrical tape is basically a moisture trap in Seattle. Silicone heat shrink is cheap insurance against having to redo the whole run later.

Wonder if that silicone heat shrink would work on the garden hose connectors I keep fighting with.
