Why Choose the Partex HS224BROWN 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS224BROWN is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection, conductor identification and professional cable management applications. Featuring a brown finish and heat-activated shrinking properties, this tubing provides a practical solution for insulating, protecting and organising electrical conductors in industrial, commercial and general electrical installations.
As part of the Partex HS2 heat shrink tubing range, the HS224BROWN contracts when heated, forming a close-fitting sleeve around compatible wires, cables and components. Its 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to reduce to approximately half its original internal diameter, providing flexibility when selecting protective sleeves for different conductor sizes and electrical assemblies.
With a nominal supplied internal diameter of 2.4 mm and a recovered internal diameter of 1.2 mm, the HS224BROWN is particularly suitable for small electrical conductors, wiring assemblies and cable identification applications. Supplied in a convenient 150 m pack, it is ideal for electrical panel builders, cable harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial production environments requiring brown heat shrink tubing.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Cable Identification
The Partex HS224BROWN provides an effective method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors while supporting clear cable identification. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the cable or component, creating a close-fitting sleeve that helps protect the underlying surface against incidental abrasion and contact.
The 2:1 shrink ratio offers flexibility when working with different conductor diameters, while the distinctive brown finish helps installers visually distinguish wiring groups and conductor identification categories within electrical control panels and cable harnesses. Brown is also commonly associated with line conductor identification in harmonised UK and European wiring colour conventions, although the tubing must be selected and applied in accordance with the relevant installation requirements.
The 150 m pack is particularly useful for repetitive cable preparation, electrical manufacturing and maintenance applications where tubing is cut to individual lengths as required. Its compact diameter makes it a practical choice for smaller wiring assemblies and electrical components requiring a neat protective sleeve.
