Why Choose the Partex HS21016EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS21016EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a high-quality 2:1 green/yellow heat shrink tubing designed for protective earth conductor identification, electrical insulation and cable protection in industrial, commercial and electrical engineering applications. Its distinctive green and yellow colour combination provides clear identification of protective earth conductors, helping electricians, panel builders and maintenance engineers maintain organised and recognisable wiring installations.
Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, the HS21016EARTH(GRN/YEL) has a nominal supplied internal diameter of 101.6 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 50.8 mm. When heated using suitable equipment, the tubing contracts around cables, conductors and electrical components to provide a close-fitting protective covering. Its large diameter makes it particularly suitable for larger protective earth conductors, earthing cable assemblies and cable termination identification.
Supplied in a convenient 15 m pack, the Partex HS21016EARTH(GRN/YEL) is ideal for electrical contractors, industrial maintenance teams, switchgear manufacturers and control panel builders. Its green/yellow identification is intended for protective earthing applications in accordance with applicable electrical wiring standards, while its heat-shrinkable construction helps provide a neat and durable finish to cable installations.

Reliable Protective Earth Identification and Cable Protection
The Partex HS21016EARTH(GRN/YEL) heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of identifying and protecting protective earth conductors in electrical installations. Its green/yellow colour combination is widely recognised for protective earthing in UK and European electrical wiring systems, helping maintenance engineers and installers distinguish protective earth conductors from other electrical connections.
Its 2:1 shrink ratio makes it particularly useful for covering larger earthing cables and electrical components where a substantial reduction in sleeve diameter is required. The tubing can be cut to the desired length before installation, allowing electricians and panel builders to create neat, consistent identification sleeves for protective earth conductors and cable terminations.
The heat-shrinkable construction helps provide a secure protective covering while supporting professional cable management in switchgear, distribution boards and industrial control cabinets. Green/yellow identification should be reserved for protective conductor applications in accordance with applicable wiring regulations. The tubing provides identification and supplementary protection but does not replace the need for correctly sized conductors, secure earth connections or appropriate electrical safety measures.
Typical Applications
- Protective earth conductor identification in electrical installations.
- Green/yellow sleeving for larger earthing cables and conductors.
- Industrial control panel wiring and protective earth connections.
- Electrical switchgear and power distribution equipment.
- Earthing and bonding conductor identification.
- Industrial automation and machinery earthing systems.
- Electrical equipment manufacturing and assembly.
- Maintenance and repair of protective earth cable assemblies.
- Protective covering for larger conductor terminations.
- OEM machinery manufacturing and industrial electrical engineering projects.
