One of the problems with trying to use tfelon tubing as a container, is that in order for the wires to run inside of it, there MUST be some clearance, or you will never get the wires down the tube for any significant length. Even three feet is a long way when you are pushig and proding, etc.The problem with tubing large enough to pull this off, is that now the wires will rattle around inside the tubing, and motor/generator distortions could occur, due to the hot wire interacting with the shield, as well as the twisted pair being allowed to move.
Perhaps an oversized teflon tubing, and wrap the twisted pair with enough teflon plumbers tape to bulk it up, keep it slippery, but somewhat compressable.
Whatever you do, you want to keep the twisted pair in a tight twist, to minimize any potential relative motions.
You will also want to cover the outer braid with HS, to keep it from moving.
