Why Choose the Partex ECHS295CLEAR 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS295CLEAR is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and wire identification in industrial, commercial and electrical engineering applications. Supplied in a clear finish, this heat shrink sleeving provides a practical solution for protecting electrical conductors, insulating connections and organising cable assemblies while allowing the underlying cable colours and identification markings to remain visible.
Featuring a nominal supplied internal diameter of 9.5 mm and a fully recovered internal diameter of 4.7 mm, the ECHS295CLEAR offers an approximately 2:1 shrink ratio. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around compatible cables, conductors and electrical components to form a close-fitting protective sleeve. Its transparent appearance makes it particularly useful where existing wire identification, printed labels or component markings need to remain visible after installation.
Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, the Partex ECHS295CLEAR is well suited to electrical panel builders, wiring harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial production environments. The cut-to-length format supports both individual electrical repairs and repeated assembly operations, making it a practical choice for professional cable management and electrical insulation requirements.

Clear Heat Shrink Tubing for Visible Cable Identification
Clear heat shrink tubing is particularly useful in electrical installations where cables and connections require additional insulation without concealing their existing identification. The Partex ECHS295CLEAR 2:1 heat shrink tubing contracts when suitable heat is applied, allowing the sleeve to conform closely to appropriately sized cables and electrical components. Its transparent finish helps preserve the visibility of conductor colours, printed cable markers and identification labels beneath the tubing, while providing a protective covering.
The 9.5/4.7 mm diameter configuration makes this tubing suitable for a range of electrical cables, wiring harnesses, insulated connections and cable identification assemblies. It can also be used to cover compatible cable markers where a transparent protective sleeve is required. For effective installation, ensure the tubing fits over the cable or component before heating and has sufficient recovery to grip it securely. Apply heat evenly using a suitable controlled heat source and follow the manufacturer's installation guidance. The clear finish should not be assumed to provide a waterproof or adhesive seal.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and cable management.
- Protection of visible cable identification labels and markers.
- Wiring harness manufacturing and assembly.
- Electrical connections requiring transparent protective sleeving.
- Electrical connection and solder joint covering.
- Automation equipment and instrumentation wiring.
- Electrical maintenance, repairs and production assembly.
