Why Choose the Partex ECHS2127WHITE 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS2127WHITE is a white 2:1 heat shrink tubing product designed for electrical cable insulation, conductor identification and protection of electrical connections. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 12.7 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 6.3 mm, this tubing provides a practical solution for electrical installations, control panel wiring, cable harness manufacturing and industrial maintenance.
With its 2:1 nominal shrink ratio, the ECHS2127WHITE is designed to reduce to approximately half its original diameter when correctly heated and allowed to recover. This enables the tubing to conform around appropriately sized cables, wire connections and components, creating a neat protective sleeve. Its distinctive white colour supports visual cable identification, organised wiring systems and application-specific conductor marking.
Supplied in a convenient 50 m pack, the Partex ECHS2127WHITE is suitable for electrical contractors, panel builders, cable assembly manufacturers and maintenance engineers requiring consistent quantities of white heat shrink sleeving for installation, repair and production work.

Effective Cable Insulation and White Conductor Identification
The Partex ECHS2127WHITE provides a practical method of insulating and identifying electrical cables using heat-activated tubing. Its nominal supplied diameter of 12.7 mm allows it to be positioned over appropriately sized conductors, cable connections and components, while its 2:1 nominal recovery ratio enables the tubing to shrink towards a nominal recovered diameter of 6.3 mm when sufficient heat is applied.
For effective installation, the tubing should be selected according to the outside diameter of the item being covered, cut to the required length and heated evenly using suitable equipment. The white colour can support an established cable identification scheme and provide a consistent appearance across electrical assemblies, while the 50 m supply quantity makes it convenient for workshops and production environments. Applications requiring specific dielectric ratings, operating temperatures, flame classifications, adhesive sealing or environmental certifications should be checked against the relevant Partex product specifications before installation.
