Why Choose the Partex ECHS295BROWN 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS295BROWN is a brown 2:1 heat shrink tubing product designed for electrical wire insulation, conductor identification and protection of electrical connections. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 9.5 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 4.7 mm, this tubing provides a practical solution for electrical installations, control panel wiring, cable harness manufacturing and industrial maintenance.
With its 2:1 nominal shrink ratio, the ECHS295BROWN is designed to reduce to approximately half its original diameter when correctly heated and allowed to recover. This enables the tubing to conform around appropriately sized wires, cable connections and components, creating a neat protective sleeve. Its distinctive brown colour also supports visual conductor identification and colour-coded electrical wiring arrangements, including line conductor identification where applicable.
Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, the Partex ECHS295BROWN is suitable for electrical contractors, panel builders, cable assembly manufacturers and maintenance engineers requiring consistent quantities of heat shrink sleeving for repeated installation and production work.

Effective Cable Insulation and Brown Conductor Identification
The Partex ECHS295BROWN provides a practical method of insulating and identifying electrical wires using heat-activated tubing. Its nominal supplied diameter of 9.5 mm allows it to be positioned over appropriately sized conductors, cable connections and components, while its 2:1 nominal recovery ratio enables the tubing to shrink towards a nominal recovered diameter of 4.7 mm when sufficient heat is applied.
For effective installation, the tubing should be selected according to the outside diameter of the item being covered, cut to the required length and heated evenly using suitable equipment. The brown colour can support an established electrical conductor identification scheme, including line conductor identification in installations following applicable UK wiring conventions. The 75 m supply quantity makes it convenient for workshops and production environments. Applications requiring specific dielectric ratings, operating temperatures, flame classifications, adhesive sealing or environmental certifications should be checked against the relevant Partex product specifications before installation.
