Why Choose the Partex HSMB191EARTH(GRN/YEL) Green/Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB191EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a high-visibility 2:1 green/yellow heat shrink tubing designed for protective earth conductor identification, electrical insulation and cable protection in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Featuring a nominal diameter of 19.1 mm before shrinking and 9.5 mm after shrinking, this heat shrink sleeve provides a neat, close-fitting solution for identifying and protecting compatible earth conductors, cable terminations and electrical connections.
As part of the Partex HSMB heat shrink tubing range, the HSMB191EARTH(GRN/YEL) is particularly suited to electrical installations where protective earth conductors must be clearly identifiable. Its distinctive green/yellow colour combination follows the recognised identification convention for protective earth conductors in UK and European electrical systems. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, providing a close-fitting insulating sleeve that helps protect against abrasion and mechanical wear.
Supplied in a convenient 5 m pack, the Partex HSMB191EARTH(GRN/YEL) is ideal for electricians, electrical panel builders, maintenance engineers and industrial automation professionals. Its 2:1 shrink ratio and larger 19.1 mm supplied diameter make it particularly useful for identifying and protecting larger protective earth conductors, earthing cable terminations and electrical wiring assemblies.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio provides a close-fitting sleeve around compatible electrical conductors and connections.
- 19.1 mm nominal supplied diameter reduces to approximately 9.5 mm when fully recovered.
- Green/yellow colour combination provides clear identification of protective earth conductors.
- 5 m pack length provides a practical supply for multiple electrical installation and maintenance tasks.
- Heat-activated shrinking creates a neat, professional finish around earthing cables and electrical terminations.
- Helps protect insulated conductors and cable connections against abrasion and mechanical wear.
- Suitable for industrial control panels, electrical distribution equipment and protective earthing systems.

Reliable Protective Earth Identification and Cable Protection
Heat shrink tubing such as the Partex HSMB191EARTH(GRN/YEL) provides a convenient method of identifying protective earth conductors while offering additional insulation and mechanical protection. The green/yellow colour combination is reserved for protective conductor identification under applicable UK and European wiring conventions, helping electricians and maintenance engineers distinguish earthing connections from live and neutral conductors.
The 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to reduce from its nominal 19.1 mm supplied diameter to approximately 9.5 mm when fully recovered. For effective installation, the tubing should pass over the widest section of the conductor or termination before heating and be capable of contracting securely around the smallest section. Controlled heating creates a close-fitting sleeve suitable for professional electrical installations. The tubing provides identification and supplementary protection but does not replace the requirement for a correctly sized, securely connected protective earth conductor.
Typical Applications
- Protective earth conductor identification in electrical installations.
- Industrial control panel wiring and electrical cabinet assemblies.
- Green/yellow identification of earthing cables and protective conductors.
- Identification and protection of compatible earth cable terminations.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchgear assemblies.
- Industrial automation equipment and machinery earthing systems.
- Electrical maintenance, repairs and protective conductor identification.
- Building services and electrical installations requiring clearly identified protective earth connections.
