Why Choose the Partex ECHS248EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS248EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a green/yellow 2:1 heat shrink tubing product designed for electrical conductor identification, insulation and protection. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 4.8 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 2.4 mm, this tubing is particularly suitable for identifying protective earth conductors in electrical installations, control panels and industrial equipment.
With its 2:1 shrink ratio, the ECHS248EARTH(GRN/YEL) is designed to reduce to approximately half its original diameter when correctly heated and allowed to recover fully. This allows the tubing to conform closely around appropriately sized conductors, providing a neat protective sleeve. Its distinctive green/yellow colour combination supports the identification of protective earth conductors in accordance with applicable electrical wiring conventions.
Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, the Partex ECHS248EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a practical choice for electrical contractors, control panel manufacturers, switchgear assemblers and maintenance engineers requiring consistent green/yellow heat shrink sleeving for protective conductor identification and electrical assembly work.

Protective Earth Identification with Heat Shrink Sleeving
The Partex ECHS248EARTH(GRN/YEL) provides a practical method of identifying and sleeving protective earth conductors using heat-activated tubing. Its nominal supplied diameter of 4.8 mm allows it to be positioned over appropriately sized conductors, while its 2:1 recovery ratio enables the tubing to shrink towards a nominal fully recovered diameter of 2.4 mm when sufficient heat is applied.
The green/yellow colour combination is widely used to identify protective earth conductors in electrical installations. This makes the ECHS248EARTH(GRN/YEL) particularly useful where conductor identification must remain clear and consistent throughout an electrical assembly. For effective installation, select tubing according to the conductor's outside diameter, cut it to the required length and heat it evenly using suitable equipment. Applications requiring specific dielectric ratings, operating temperatures, flame classifications or environmental certifications should be checked against the applicable Partex product specifications before installation.
