Why Choose the Partex ECHS224EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Green/Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS224EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a professional green/yellow 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for protective earth conductor identification, electrical wire insulation and cable protection. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 2.4 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 1.2 mm, this dual-colour heat shrink sleeving provides a close-fitting covering for suitably sized electrical conductors and connections.
The distinctive green/yellow colour combination is widely used to identify protective earth conductors in electrical installations. The tubing's 2:1 shrink ratio allows it to recover to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated correctly, helping create a neat, secure sleeve around compatible wires, conductor ends and cable assemblies.
Supplied in a generous 150 m pack, the ECHS224EARTH(GRN/YEL) is particularly suitable for electricians, electrical panel builders, equipment manufacturers and maintenance engineers requiring consistent protective earth identification sleeving. Its heat-activated construction allows installers to cut individual sleeves to the required length, supporting efficient wiring assembly, conductor identification and electrical maintenance.
Key Advantages
- Green/yellow colour combination supports clear identification of protective earth conductors.
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio allows the tubing to recover to approximately half its original internal diameter.
- 2.4 mm nominal supplied diameter accommodates compatible small electrical conductors.
- 1.2 mm nominal fully recovered diameter provides a close-fitting sleeve after correct heat application.

Green/Yellow Heat Shrink Sleeving for Protective Earth Identification
Correct identification of protective earth conductors is an important part of electrical installation safety. The Partex ECHS224EARTH(GRN/YEL) provides a practical way to apply green/yellow identification to suitably sized conductors, particularly where individual earth wire ends or termination areas require visible identification. Its dual-colour appearance helps distinguish protective earth wiring from other conductors within electrical equipment and control panels.
With a nominal diameter of 2.4 mm before shrinking and 1.2 mm after full recovery, this tubing is designed for relatively fine conductor sleeving applications. It should slide over the wire before heating and contract sufficiently to grip the conductor insulation or other compatible surface. Controlled heat should be applied evenly using suitable equipment. Green/yellow identification must be reserved for the appropriate protective conductor function in accordance with applicable wiring regulations, and heat shrink sleeving does not replace a correctly designed protective earth connection.
Typical Applications
- Protective earth conductor identification.
- Electrical distribution boards and control panel wiring.
- Earth wire identification at terminals and connection points.
- Industrial machinery protective bonding circuits.
- Electrical equipment assembly and manufacturing.
- Instrumentation and automation panel wiring.
- Identification of compatible small protective conductors.
- Electrical maintenance, repair and refurbishment.
- Organised conductor identification in commercial and industrial installations.
- Production of pre-cut protective earth identification sleeves.
