Why Choose the Partex ECHS2381CLEAR 2:1 Clear Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS2381CLEAR is a versatile clear heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection, wire identification and cable management applications. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio and nominal diameters of 38.1 mm before shrinking and 19 mm after shrinking, this tubing provides a practical solution for protecting larger electrical cables, cable connections and wiring assemblies while maintaining visibility of the underlying components.
As part of the Partex ECHS heat shrink tubing range, the ECHS2381CLEAR contracts when heat is applied, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible cables and electrical components. Its clear transparent finish allows underlying cable markings, identification labels and wiring details to remain visible, making it particularly useful for installations where cable protection and visual identification are both important.
Supplied in a convenient 30 m pack, the ECHS2381CLEAR is suitable for electrical contractors, industrial panel builders, maintenance engineers and OEM equipment manufacturers requiring heat shrink sleeving for repeated installation tasks. Its 38.1 mm supplied diameter and 19 mm recovered diameter make it particularly useful for larger compatible cable sizes, wiring bundles and electrical connection assemblies.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio provides effective diameter reduction for close-fitting cable protection.

Reliable Cable Protection and Identification for Industrial Electrical Systems
Heat shrink tubing is widely used in electrical engineering to provide additional insulation and protection around compatible conductors, cable joints and wiring components. When heat is applied evenly, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, creating a close-fitting protective sleeve that helps protect wiring against abrasion and everyday mechanical handling.
The Partex ECHS2381CLEAR combines a practical 2:1 shrink ratio with a transparent finish, making it particularly useful for electrical installations where cable identification markings and labels need to remain visible. Its nominal 38.1 mm supplied diameter allows installation over larger compatible cables and wiring assemblies, while its 19 mm recovered diameter enables the tubing to contract around appropriately sized components.
For control panel builders, automation engineers and electrical maintenance teams, the 30 m pack provides a convenient supply for repeated cable protection and identification tasks. The tubing can be cut into shorter sections to suit individual wiring assemblies and can be positioned over suitable printed cable markers or identification sleeves to provide an additional protective covering without concealing the information beneath. The correct tubing size should be selected according to the dimensions of the component being covered, ensuring sufficient clearance before shrinking and an appropriate recovered diameter for a secure fit.
Typical Applications
- Electrical cable insulation and additional wire protection.
- Protection of printed cable markers and identification labels.
- Larger cable sleeving and compatible wiring bundle protection.
- Industrial control panel and switchgear wiring.
- Automation equipment and machinery cable installations.
- Electrical distribution boards and control cabinet assemblies.
- Protection of suitable cable joints and electrical connections.
- OEM equipment manufacturing, electrical maintenance and industrial panel building.
