Why Choose the Partex HSMB24EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Green/Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB24EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a professional 2:1 green/yellow heat shrink tubing product designed for protective earth conductor identification, electrical insulation and cable protection. Manufactured by Partex, a specialist in cable marking and identification solutions, this dual-colour heat shrink tubing provides a practical way to identify protective earth conductors while creating a neat, close-fitting protective sleeve.
Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 2.4 mm and a fully recovered diameter of approximately 1.2 mm, the HSMB24EARTH(GRN/YEL) is particularly suitable for small-diameter protective earth conductors and electrical wiring assemblies. Its 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to contract to approximately half its original diameter when correctly heated, providing a secure fit around appropriately sized conductors.
Supplied in a convenient 15 m pack with distinctive green/yellow colouring, the Partex HSMB24EARTH(GRN/YEL) is ideal for protective earth identification in electrical control panels, industrial machinery, distribution equipment and automation systems. The green/yellow colour combination is internationally recognised for protective earth identification, making this tubing particularly useful where clear, consistent conductor identification is essential.

Reliable Protective Earth Identification and Cable Protection
Correct identification of protective earth conductors is an important part of electrical installation safety and maintenance. The Partex HSMB24EARTH(GRN/YEL) combines the recognised green/yellow protective earth colour combination with the practical benefits of heat shrink tubing, helping electricians and maintenance engineers identify suitable conductors within electrical assemblies.
The tubing features a 2:1 shrink ratio, allowing its nominal diameter to reduce from 2.4 mm to approximately 1.2 mm when heated under appropriate conditions. This shrinking action enables the tubing to conform closely to the underlying conductor insulation, providing a neat and durable identification sleeve.
The green/yellow colour combination is reserved for protective earth identification under commonly applied electrical wiring standards. It should therefore be used only for conductors serving the appropriate protective function. The tubing provides identification and supplementary protection but does not itself establish an electrical earth connection or replace the required conductor insulation, continuity testing or protective measures.
For effective installation, select tubing that passes over the largest part of the wire or component before shrinking and has a recovered diameter small enough to grip the intended surface. Cut the tubing to the required length, position it correctly and apply controlled, even heat using a suitable heat gun. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended installation conditions and applicable electrical installation standards.
Typical Applications
- Protective earth (PE) conductor identification in electrical installations.
- Industrial control panel wiring and earth conductor marking.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchgear assemblies.
- Industrial machinery protective bonding conductors.
- Automation equipment and electrical control systems.
- Electrical cabinet assembly and maintenance.
- Protective earth identification within cable harnesses and wiring looms.
- Electrical repair, refurbishment and conductor identification work.
