Why Choose the Partex ECHS248CLEAR 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS248CLEAR is a clear 2:1 heat shrink tubing product designed for electrical wire insulation, cable identification and protection of electrical connections. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 4.8 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 2.4 mm, this transparent sleeving provides a practical solution for electrical installations, control panel wiring, electronics assembly and cable harness manufacturing.
With its 2:1 shrink ratio, the ECHS248CLEAR is designed to reduce to approximately half its original diameter when correctly heated and allowed to recover fully. This enables the tubing to conform closely around appropriately sized wires and components, creating a neat protective sleeve. Its clear finish offers the additional advantage of allowing underlying cable colours, identification markings and component labels to remain visible through the tubing, subject to the clarity of the installed sleeve.
Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, the Partex ECHS248CLEAR is suitable for electrical contractors, panel builders, electronics technicians and cable assembly manufacturers requiring transparent heat shrink sleeving for repeated installation, identification and production applications.

Transparent Electrical Insulation and Cable Identification Protection
The Partex ECHS248CLEAR provides a practical method of insulating and protecting electrical wires using heat-activated tubing. Its nominal supplied diameter of 4.8 mm allows it to be positioned over appropriately sized conductors, connections or components, while its 2:1 recovery ratio enables the tubing to shrink towards a nominal recovered diameter of 2.4 mm when sufficient heat is applied.
Unlike coloured heat shrink tubing, the clear construction is particularly useful where underlying conductor colours, identification sleeves or printed cable labels need to remain visible. For effective installation, the tubing should be selected according to the dimensions of the item being covered, cut to the required length and heated evenly using suitable equipment. The 75 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.
