Why Choose the Partex ECHS264CLEAR 2:1 Clear Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS264CLEAR is a professional clear 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical wire insulation, cable protection, identification label covering and general wiring applications. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 6.4 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 3.2 mm, this transparent heat shrink sleeving provides a neat, close-fitting protective covering around suitably sized wires, cable assemblies and electrical components.
The 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to recover to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated correctly. Its clear finish is particularly useful where underlying cable colours, printed identification markers or wiring labels need to remain visible after installation. The tubing also provides an additional insulating layer while helping protect covered surfaces against abrasion and general handling wear.
Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, the ECHS264CLEAR is suitable for electrical contractors, control panel builders, equipment manufacturers and maintenance engineers requiring consistent heat shrink sleeving for repeated installation tasks. Its transparent appearance makes it a practical choice for cable identification, electrical assembly, equipment wiring and professional cable management.
Key Advantages

Transparent 2:1 Heat Shrink Protection for Cables and Identification Markings
The Partex ECHS264CLEAR is designed to create a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible electrical wires and components while retaining visibility of the underlying surface. This makes transparent heat shrink tubing particularly useful for protecting printed cable markers, wire identification labels and colour-coded conductors without unnecessarily concealing their identifying details. The sleeve is positioned over the required section before controlled heat is applied evenly using suitable hot-air equipment.
With a nominal diameter of 6.4 mm before shrinking and 3.2 mm after full recovery, this tubing is suitable for applications requiring medium-sized heat shrink sleeving. It should be selected so that it slides over the component before heating and contracts sufficiently to grip it afterwards. The 75 m supply length enables installers to cut sleeves to the required dimensions for efficient electrical assembly and maintenance. The tubing should not be assumed to provide a waterproof seal unless the completed assembly has been separately designed and verified for that purpose.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protection.
- Transparent covering of compatible cable identification labels.
- Control panel wiring and cable organisation.
- Electronic equipment assembly and repair.
- Covering compatible cable joints and conductor connections.
- Industrial automation and instrumentation wiring.
- Protection of printed wire markers and identification sleeves.
- Electrical equipment manufacturing and maintenance.
- Colour-coded wiring systems where conductor colours need to remain visible.
- Machinery wiring, cable harness assembly and workshop electrical repairs.
