What's the proper name for this rigid heat resistant insulation tubing?

Don't know what that one is but we use the high temperature "Teflon Tubing" for this sort of thing all the time (not the heat shrink stuff).
Down side -> this stuff is e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e! See Alpha's TFT-200-18 (perfect size for MOV and inrush limiter used on Williams games) at Mouser for an example.
Once you see the price at Mouser, Digikey, others - you'll see why I sell it in 6" lengths.

Yikes, that is expensive.
The stuff in the photo has brown (or black) outer covering and the inside is some sort of fiber material. I had some I got in a pile of parts ages ago, but have long since run out of it. I never found out what it was actually called.
I've seen it occasionally appear factory installed on 70s & early 80s electronics.
These are what I use:

It's a lot more reasonable in price.
