Why Choose the Partex HS224EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS224EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, protective conductor identification, wire protection and professional cable management. Manufactured by Partex, this green and yellow heat shrink sleeving provides a practical solution for identifying and protecting protective earth conductors in electrical installations, industrial automation systems and control panels.
Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, the tubing contracts to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated appropriately. This allows it to form a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible wires, cable insulation and small electrical components. The distinctive green/yellow colour combination is conventionally reserved for protective earth identification in UK and European electrical installations, helping electricians and maintenance engineers recognise protective conductors.
With a supplied internal diameter of 2.4 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 1.2 mm, the HS224EARTH(GRN/YEL) is suitable for compatible small-diameter conductors and earthing connections. Supplied in a convenient 150 m pack, this green/yellow heat shrink tubing provides a practical bulk solution for electrical contractors, control panel builders, OEM manufacturers and industrial maintenance teams.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio provides a close-fitting protective sleeve when correctly installed.

Reliable Protective Earth Identification and Cable Protection
Heat shrink tubing such as the Partex HS224EARTH(GRN/YEL) provides a convenient method of identifying and protecting electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the conductor or cable insulation, creating a close-fitting sleeve that helps protect against abrasion and handling damage. The 2:1 shrink ratio provides flexibility when selecting tubing for compatible conductor sizes.
The green/yellow colour combination is widely recognised as the identification colour for protective earth conductors under UK and European wiring conventions. This makes the HS224EARTH(GRN/YEL) particularly useful for marking protective conductors within electrical control panels, industrial machinery and electrical distribution equipment. The generous 150 m supply supports repeated installation tasks and high-volume electrical assembly work. The sleeving provides identification and protection but does not replace the requirement for a correctly sized, continuous and securely terminated protective conductor.
Typical Applications
- Protective earth conductor identification in electrical installations.
- Industrial control panel wiring and assembly.
- PLC and automation equipment protective earthing systems.
- Identification of protective bonding conductors where appropriate.
- Protection and identification of small-diameter earthing conductors.
- Electrical distribution boards and equipment wiring.
- OEM machinery wiring and industrial electrical manufacturing.
