Why Choose the Partex ECHS2762EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS2762EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a professional 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for protective earth conductor identification, electrical insulation and cable protection. Supplied in the distinctive green/yellow colour combination, this heat shrink sleeve has a nominal supplied diameter of 76.2 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 38.1 mm, making it suitable for compatible large-diameter protective earth conductors, earthing cables and electrical assemblies.
Designed for industrial electrical installations, switchgear assembly, control panel manufacturing and electrical maintenance, the ECHS2762EARTH(GRN/YEL) contracts when heated to form a close-fitting sleeve around appropriately sized cables and components. Its 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can reduce to approximately half its original internal diameter, helping create a neat, professional finish while providing an additional protective covering against abrasion and everyday handling.
The green/yellow finish is particularly important for identifying protective earth (PE) conductors in accordance with applicable electrical wiring conventions. With its 76.2/38.1 mm diameter specification and convenient 15 m pack length, the Partex ECHS2762EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a practical choice for electrical contractors, industrial electricians, panel builders, maintenance engineers and OEM manufacturers working with larger earthing conductors and bonding assemblies.

Reliable Protective Earth Identification and Cable Protection
Correct identification of protective earth conductors is an essential part of professional electrical installation and maintenance. The Partex ECHS2762EARTH(GRN/YEL) provides a practical way to apply the recognised green/yellow protective earth identification to compatible larger conductors and cable assemblies. The distinctive colour combination helps electricians and maintenance personnel distinguish protective earth wiring from other conductors in industrial electrical equipment.
The larger 76.2 mm supplied diameter makes this tubing particularly useful for applications requiring a wider sleeve before shrinking. Once correctly heated, the tubing can recover towards its nominal 38.1 mm diameter, providing a close-fitting covering where the underlying conductor dimensions are suitable. This makes the ECHS2762EARTH(GRN/YEL) a useful option for appropriately sized protective earth cables, bonding conductors and industrial earthing assemblies.
The tubing also provides an additional protective covering over the installed cable section, helping reduce direct exposure to abrasion and routine handling. Its 15 m supply length allows installers to prepare multiple identification sleeves for electrical panels, machinery and maintenance projects. Always check that the tubing can pass over the conductor or any fitted components before shrinking and that its recovered diameter will provide an adequate fit.
For best results, cut the tubing to the required length, position it over the intended section and apply controlled heat evenly using a suitable heat gun. Follow the manufacturer's installation guidance and verify that the tubing meets the electrical and environmental requirements of the application. Green/yellow sleeving provides conductor identification and a protective covering; it does not replace a correctly sized protective earth conductor, secure electrical connections or required protective measures.
Green/Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing for Protective Earth Conductors
The green/yellow colour combination is widely recognised as the identification for protective earth conductors in UK and international electrical installations. Using correctly coloured sleeving helps make protective earth connections easier to recognise during installation, inspection, testing and maintenance. This is particularly valuable in industrial environments where electrical equipment may contain numerous conductors and complex cable assemblies.
The Partex ECHS2762EARTH(GRN/YEL) is designed for applications where larger-diameter protective earth wiring requires visible identification. Its heat-shrinkable construction allows the sleeve to conform around compatible conductors, creating a tidy finish that helps maintain the visibility of the protective earth colour combination.
Green/yellow identification should be reserved for protective earth functions wherever required by applicable wiring regulations. It must not be used to identify live, neutral or other conductors where this would conflict with the relevant electrical standard. The correct conductor identification method should always be selected according to the installation requirements.
