Why Choose the Partex HS2254RED 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS2254RED is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and conductor identification in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Featuring a distinctive red finish, this tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 25.4 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 12.7 mm, making it suitable for appropriately sized electrical cables, wiring assemblies and cable connections.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HS2254RED provides a practical solution for protecting and organising electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve that supports electrical insulation and provides a neat, professional finish. Its red colour also enables visual identification within appropriately designed cable colour-coding systems.
Supplied in a convenient 30 m pack, the HS2254RED is suitable for electrical panel builders, cable harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial installers. Its 2:1 shrink ratio provides installation flexibility, while the 25.4/12.7 mm diameter specification makes it suitable for larger cable sleeving applications requiring protective insulation and clearly identifiable wiring.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Wire Identification
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors, cable connections and wiring assemblies. The Partex HS2254RED contracts when suitable heat is applied, allowing it to conform to compatible cable diameters and create a neat protective covering. Its 2:1 shrink ratio enables substantial diameter reduction, with a specified nominal recovered diameter of 12.7 mm.
The red finish makes this tubing particularly useful for electrical installations where visual identification, cable organisation and consistent colour coding are important. It can be incorporated into a suitable conductor identification system, provided the chosen colour complies with the relevant electrical installation requirements. For effective results, select tubing with a supplied diameter large enough to pass over the cable or component and a recovered diameter suitable for a close fit. Follow the manufacturer's recommended heating procedure and confirm suitability for the electrical and environmental conditions of the application.
