Why Choose the Partex HSKIT23.2 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing Kit?

The Partex HSKIT23.2 is a practical 2:1 heat shrink tubing kit designed for electrical insulation, wire protection and cable sleeving in industrial, commercial and general electrical installations. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 3.2 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 1.6 mm, this tubing is particularly suitable for appropriately sized smaller electrical wires, conductors and wiring assemblies.

As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HSKIT23.2 provides a convenient method of applying protective insulation to compatible electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying wire or component, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve. Its 2:1 shrink ratio provides installation flexibility, helping installers achieve neat, professional results when protecting and organising smaller conductors.

Supplied in a convenient kit format, the Partex HSKIT23.2 is suitable for electricians, electrical panel builders, maintenance engineers, electronics technicians and cable harness manufacturers. Its 3.2/1.6 mm diameter specification makes it a practical choice for smaller wire sleeving applications where compact insulation, cable protection and organised wiring are important.

Key Advantages

  • 2:1 heat shrink ratio: Allows the tubing to contract to approximately half its original nominal diameter when fully recovered.
  • 3.2 mm supplied diameter: Suitable for installation over appropriately sized smaller wires and electrical components.
  • 1.6 mm recovered diameter: Provides close-fitting protective sleeving around compatible small-diameter conductors.
  • Convenient kit format: Offers a practical heat shrink tubing solution for electrical installation, assembly and maintenance.
  • Compact insulation: Supports protective coverage of suitable small electrical wiring assemblies.
  • Protective wire sleeving: Helps protect covered areas of conductors from incidental abrasion and handling.
  • Cut-to-length flexibility: Allows tubing to be prepared for different wire lengths and installation requirements.
  • Neat wiring finish: Supports professional cable organisation in control panels, electrical equipment and wiring harnesses.

Key Features

  • Partex heat shrink tubing kit for electrical wire insulation and protection.
  • HSKIT23.2 model designation for identification and ordering.
  • 2:1 nominal shrink ratio for flexible installation.
  • 3.2 mm nominal supplied diameter before shrinking.
  • 1.6 mm nominal recovered diameter after full recovery.
  • Heat-activated shrinking for close-fitting protective wire sleeving.
  • Kit packaging for convenient workshop and maintenance use.
  • Suitable for smaller electrical conductors and compatible wiring assemblies.

Reliable Small-Diameter Wire Insulation and Protection

The Partex HSKIT23.2 provides a convenient solution for applying heat shrink tubing to smaller electrical conductors and wiring assemblies. The tubing is positioned over the intended section of wire before suitable heat is applied. As it contracts, the tubing conforms to the underlying wire insulation or component, creating a close-fitting protective covering.

With a 3.2 mm supplied diameter and a 1.6 mm nominal recovered diameter, the tubing is suitable for compatible small-diameter wiring where a 2:1 shrink ratio provides the necessary installation clearance and recovery. This makes it useful for compact electrical assemblies, control wiring and smaller cable harness applications.

For effective installation, select tubing with a supplied diameter large enough to pass over the largest section of the wire or component and a recovered diameter small enough to provide a close fit. Apply heat evenly using suitable equipment and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions. Confirm the tubing's electrical and environmental suitability before using it in a particular application.

Typical Applications

  • Small-diameter electrical wire insulation and protective sleeving.
  • Electrical control panel wiring and assembly.
  • Electronic equipment wiring and maintenance.
  • Industrial cable harness manufacturing.
  • Protection of compatible insulated wire connections.
  • Instrument and auxiliary control wiring.
  • Electrical equipment servicing and repairs.
  • General-purpose heat shrink applications requiring a 3.2/1.6 mm tubing size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Partex HSKIT23.2 used for?

The Partex HSKIT23.2 is a 2:1 heat shrink tubing kit designed for electrical insulation, protective sleeving and wire protection on compatible smaller electrical conductors and wiring assemblies.

What does the 2:1 shrink ratio mean?

A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can reduce to approximately half its original nominal diameter when fully recovered under suitable heating conditions.

What are the supplied and recovered diameters of the HSKIT23.2?

The tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 3.2 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 1.6 mm.

Is the Partex HSKIT23.2 supplied as a kit?

Yes. The HSKIT23.2 is supplied in a kit format. The exact number of pieces, individual lengths and colour assortment should be confirmed from the manufacturer's kit contents.

Is the HSKIT23.2 suitable for small electrical wires?

Yes. Its 3.2 mm supplied diameter and 1.6 mm recovered diameter make it suitable for appropriately sized smaller wires and conductors, provided the tubing can be fitted and recovered correctly.

Can the HSKIT23.2 be used in electrical control panels?

Yes. The HSKIT23.2 can be used for compatible conductor sleeving, wire insulation and cable organisation within electrical control panels, subject to the applicable electrical installation requirements.

How is the Partex HSKIT23.2 heat shrink tubing installed?

Position the tubing over the intended wire or component and apply suitable heat evenly until it contracts around the underlying surface. Follow the manufacturer's heating instructions and avoid damaging the wire insulation.

Can the tubing be cut to different lengths?

Yes. Heat shrink tubing can be cut to the required length before installation, allowing protective sleeves to be prepared for individual wires, conductors and electrical components.

How do I select the correct heat shrink tubing diameter?

Choose tubing with a supplied diameter large enough to pass over the wire or component before heating and a recovered diameter small enough to provide a secure fit. The HSKIT23.2 has nominal supplied and recovered diameters of 3.2 mm and 1.6 mm, respectively.

Is the Partex HSKIT23.2 adhesive-lined?

An adhesive lining is not specified in the supplied HSKIT23.2 product information. Do not assume the tubing provides an adhesive seal or waterproof protection without confirmation from the manufacturer's technical documentation.
