Why Choose the Partex HSMB32EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB32EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a professional 2:1 green/yellow heat shrink tubing designed for protective earth conductor identification, electrical insulation and wire protection in industrial, commercial and electrical engineering applications. With a nominal supplied internal diameter of 3.2 mm and a nominal recovered internal diameter of 1.6 mm, this compact heat shrink sleeving is particularly suitable for smaller protective earth conductors, electrical connections and control panel wiring.
As part of the Partex HSMB mini-box heat shrink tubing range, the HSMB32EARTH(GRN/YEL) provides a convenient solution for identifying and protecting earth conductors in electrical installations. Its distinctive green/yellow colour combination supports protective earth identification in accordance with applicable UK and European conductor colour conventions, while its 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to contract around suitable wires and components when heated.
Supplied in a convenient 15 m mini-box, the Partex HSMB32EARTH(GRN/YEL) is ideal for electrical contractors, control panel builders, industrial maintenance engineers and equipment manufacturers requiring dependable earth identification sleeving. Its flexible heat-shrinkable construction helps provide a close-fitting protective covering, making it particularly useful for electrical panel assembly, machinery wiring and protective bonding connections.

Reliable Protective Earth Identification and Electrical Insulation
The Partex HSMB32EARTH(GRN/YEL) heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of identifying and protecting protective earth conductors in electrical installations. Its green/yellow striped appearance makes earth wiring readily distinguishable from line and neutral conductors, supporting clear identification during installation, inspection and maintenance. The green/yellow colour combination is reserved for protective conductor identification under relevant wiring conventions and should not be used to identify ordinary live conductors.
Its 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to reduce from a nominal 3.2 mm internal diameter to approximately 1.6 mm when fully recovered. When heated using suitable equipment, the sleeve contracts around the underlying conductor or insulation, helping create a close-fitting protective covering. This is particularly useful for identifying protective earth wires at terminals, bonding points and equipment connections.
The 15 m mini-box allows installers to dispense and cut the tubing into individual lengths for different wiring applications. It is suitable for electrical control cabinets, industrial machinery and equipment assemblies where consistent protective earth identification is important. As standard non-adhesive heat shrink tubing, the HSMB32EARTH(GRN/YEL) is intended for identification, insulation and mechanical protection rather than waterproof sealing. It does not replace the need for correctly sized protective conductors, secure terminations or electrical continuity testing.
Typical Applications
- Protective earth conductor identification in electrical installations.
- Green/yellow identification of protective bonding wires.
- Electrical control panel and distribution board wiring.
- Identification of earth connections at terminals and equipment enclosures.
- Industrial machinery protective earth wiring.
- Electrical cabinet manufacturing and assembly.
- Industrial automation and machine control systems.
- Maintenance and repair of protective earth wiring assemblies.
- Protective sleeving for appropriately sized earth conductors.
- OEM machinery manufacturing and industrial engineering projects.
