Why Choose the Partex HSKIT112.7 Heat Shrink Tubing Kit?
The Partex HSKIT112.7 is a practical and versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing kit designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and wiring organisation in industrial, commercial and general electrical installations. Featuring tubing with a nominal supplied diameter of 12.7 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 6.3 mm, this kit provides a convenient solution for protecting electrical wires, cable joints and compatible connections.
With a 2:1 shrink ratio, the tubing contracts to approximately half its original diameter when suitable heat is applied, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve around cables and components. This helps provide additional insulation, reduce exposure to abrasion and deliver a neat, professional finish to electrical wiring assemblies.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HSKIT112.7 is suitable for electrical contractors, maintenance engineers, panel builders and cable assembly specialists. Its convenient kit format makes it useful for workshop applications, electrical maintenance, cable preparation and on-site wiring repairs.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Cable Protection
Heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of insulating and protecting electrical cables and connections. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, forming a protective sleeve that helps reduce exposure to abrasion and general mechanical damage.
The Partex HSKIT112.7 is particularly useful for wiring applications requiring a 12.7 mm nominal supplied diameter. Its 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to recover towards a nominal diameter of 6.3 mm, making it suitable for compatible cables, wire joints, terminals and electrical assemblies.
For effective installation, the tubing should be selected to pass over the largest section of the cable or connection before shrinking while remaining capable of contracting securely around the intended surface. Correct sizing, uniform heating and appropriate installation conditions help achieve a consistent protective finish.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protective sleeving.
- Cable joints and electrical connection protection.
- Industrial wiring harnesses and cable assemblies.
- Electrical control panels and automation equipment.
- Workshop cable preparation and electrical maintenance.
- Industrial machinery wiring and compatible automotive electrical applications.
- General cable management, wiring repairs and electrical installation work.
