Why Choose the Partex ECHS216EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Green/Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS216EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a high-quality 2:1 green/yellow heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, protective conductor identification and cable protection in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Part of the Partex ECHS heat shrink tubing range, this sleeving provides a practical solution for identifying protective earth conductors while delivering a neat, professional finish to electrical wiring and cable assemblies.
Featuring a nominal supplied internal diameter of 1.6 mm and a fully recovered internal diameter of approximately 0.8 mm, the ECHS216EARTH(GRN/YEL) offers a 2:1 shrink ratio. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around appropriately sized conductors and components, helping provide a close-fitting insulating and protective covering.
The distinctive green/yellow colour combination is used for protective earth conductor identification in accordance with recognised electrical wiring colour conventions. Supplied in a generous 150 m pack, this heat shrink tubing is particularly suitable for electrical panel builders, industrial maintenance engineers, electrical contractors and OEM manufacturers requiring consistent conductor identification across multiple wiring assemblies.

Reliable Protective Earth Identification and Electrical Cable Protection
Correct conductor identification is essential for electrical installation safety, maintenance and fault finding. The green/yellow colour combination is reserved for protective conductor identification under recognised electrical wiring conventions, helping electricians and maintenance engineers distinguish protective earth conductors from live and neutral conductors. Heat shrink sleeving provides a practical way to apply durable identification to suitable wiring and termination areas.
The Partex ECHS216EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 heat shrink tubing has a nominal internal diameter of 1.6 mm before shrinking and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 0.8 mm. When heated evenly with a suitable heat gun, the tubing contracts around the conductor to create a close-fitting protective sleeve. This helps maintain clear earth conductor identification while providing additional protection against abrasion and handling damage.
For dependable results, the tubing should be selected with sufficient initial diameter to pass over the conductor or termination and an appropriate recovered diameter to achieve the required fit. Heat should be applied evenly without overheating the tubing or damaging the underlying cable insulation. Green/yellow sleeving should only be used for its intended protective conductor identification purpose, and any electrical insulation requirements must be assessed against the ratings of the complete installation.
