Why Choose the Partex HS248BLACK 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS248BLACK is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and wire sleeving in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Featuring a black finish, this tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 4.8 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 2.4 mm, making it suitable for a range of small electrical cables, conductors and wiring connections.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HS248BLACK provides a practical solution for protecting and organising electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying conductor or component, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve that helps provide electrical insulation and a neat, professional finish. Its black colour offers a discreet appearance for electrical assemblies and cable management applications.
Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, the HS248BLACK is ideal for electrical panel builders, cable harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial installers. Its 2:1 shrink ratio provides installation flexibility, while the 4.8/2.4 mm diameter range makes it suitable for electrical wiring applications requiring compact protective insulation and organised cable sleeving.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Wire Protection
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors and cable connections. The Partex HS248BLACK 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 means the tubing can recover to approximately half its original nominal diameter under appropriate heating conditions.
The black finish makes this tubing particularly useful for wiring installations where a discreet appearance, cable organisation and consistent protective sleeving are important. Its dimensions make it suitable for electrical wires used in control panels, cable harnesses and equipment assemblies. For reliable installation, select tubing that can pass over the component before shrinking and recover sufficiently to grip the underlying cable, following the manufacturer's recommended heating procedure.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protective sleeving.
- Control panel wiring and cable management.
- Industrial cable harness manufacturing and assembly.
- Protection of small electrical cables and conductors.
- Electrical equipment wiring and component sleeving.
- Electrical installation, maintenance and repair work.
