These tubular mesh sleeves are made of flexible wire-mesh not un-like thin chain mail.
They are meant to be slipped over the drain hose to trap lint so as not to clog your drain.
Well they sure do catch lint but they are a headache because they too get all caught with lint very quickly...lol
So what's the difference which place gets clogged first? I say.
Anyway .... I took it off the hose ....but I realized it might have another life or some interesting value as a tube-shield.
They slide down easily over all shaped tubes and can almost be form-fitted.
The grid-cap tubes, of course, would require a large hole cut in the top of the mesh.
And they can easily have some-sort of an aligator type ground clip attached at the base. Or just twisted to form an eyelet for a ground screw perhaps.
I haven't personally used it for this purpose yet but maybe one of you guys might find this as a "sexy" trojan-like solution to shielding problems.
Try to keep those little RF critters from getting in.
Well, if you can't get the lint out, let it dry and then burn it out.
My grandmother always used hosiery as a lint filter. It works very well, and can be easily emptied.

Don't confuse the wire kind with....Oh never mind!
