Why Choose the Partex HS248WHITE 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS248WHITE is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection, conductor identification and professional cable management applications. Featuring a clean white finish and heat-activated shrinking properties, this tubing provides a practical solution for insulating, protecting and organising electrical conductors in industrial, commercial and general electrical installations.
As part of the Partex HS2 heat shrink tubing range, the HS248WHITE contracts when heated, forming a close-fitting sleeve around compatible wires, cables and components. Its 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to reduce to approximately half its original internal diameter, providing flexibility when selecting protective sleeves for different conductor sizes and electrical assemblies.
With a nominal supplied internal diameter of 4.8 mm and a nominal recovered internal diameter of 2.4 mm, the HS248WHITE is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized electrical conductors, wiring assemblies and cable identification applications. Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, it is ideal for electrical panel builders, cable harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial production environments requiring white heat shrink tubing.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Cable Identification
The Partex HS248WHITE provides an effective method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors while supporting clear cable identification. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the cable or component, creating a close-fitting sleeve that helps protect the underlying surface against incidental abrasion and contact. Its flexible format makes it suitable for cable preparation, electrical assembly and maintenance work where a protective covering is required.
The 2:1 shrink ratio offers flexibility when working with different conductor diameters, while the distinctive white finish helps installers visually distinguish wiring groups and cable identification categories within electrical control panels and cable harnesses. White tubing is also useful in applications where a clean, uniform appearance is preferred or where cable identification follows a defined colour-coding scheme.
The 75 m pack is particularly useful for repetitive cable preparation, electrical manufacturing and maintenance applications where tubing is cut to individual lengths as required. Its 4.8 mm supplied diameter makes it a practical choice for compatible wiring assemblies and electrical components requiring a neat protective sleeve.
