Why Choose the Partex ECHS248YELLOW 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS248YELLOW is a versatile yellow heat shrink tubing designed to provide electrical insulation, cable identification and mechanical protection for wires and cable assemblies. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, this tubing reduces from a nominal supplied diameter of 4.8 mm to approximately 2.4 mm when correctly heated, creating a close-fitting protective covering.
Designed for electrical installation, industrial maintenance and control panel assembly, Partex heat shrink tubing offers a practical solution for insulating conductors, protecting cable joints and organising wiring systems. Its yellow colour makes it particularly useful where clear visual identification and consistent cable management are required.
Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, the ECHS248YELLOW is suitable for workshops, panel builders and electrical contractors requiring heat shrink sleeving for repeated installation and maintenance tasks. The tubing can be cut to the required length and applied using a suitable heat source.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Identification
Heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of covering exposed conductors, insulating suitable electrical terminations and protecting cable assemblies. When heat is applied evenly, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, creating a neat and closely fitted sleeve.
The Partex ECHS248YELLOW combines a useful 2:1 shrink ratio with a highly visible yellow finish, making it suitable for electrical panel construction, cable harness preparation and routine maintenance. Its 75 m pack length provides a convenient supply for projects requiring multiple pieces of tubing.
Typical Applications

- Control panel wiring and cable identification.
- Industrial automation and machinery wiring.
- Cable harness assembly and organisation.
- Protection of suitable wire joints and terminations.
- Electrical maintenance, repair and refurbishment.
- Workshop and OEM electrical assembly operations.
