Why Choose the Partex HS224CLEAR 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS224CLEAR is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, wire protection, cable identification and professional cable management. Manufactured by Partex, this clear heat shrink sleeving provides a practical solution for insulating and protecting small-diameter wires, conductors and electrical components in industrial automation systems, control panels and electrical installations.
Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, the tubing contracts to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated appropriately. This allows it to form a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible wires, cable insulation and small electrical components. The transparent finish offers the additional advantage of allowing underlying cable colours, printed identification markers and labels to remain visible after installation.
With a supplied internal diameter of 2.4 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 1.2 mm, the HS224CLEAR is suitable for a range of small-diameter wiring and cable protection applications. Supplied in a convenient 150 m pack, this clear heat shrink tubing provides an economical bulk solution for electrical contractors, control panel builders, OEM manufacturers and industrial maintenance teams.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Transparent Cable Protection
Heat shrink tubing such as the Partex HS224CLEAR provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the wire or component, creating a close-fitting sleeve that helps protect against abrasion, handling damage and accidental contact with covered conductive areas. The 2:1 shrink ratio provides flexibility when selecting tubing for compatible conductor and cable sizes.
Unlike coloured heat shrink sleeving, the clear transparent construction allows underlying cable markings, printed identification sleeves and conductor colours to remain visible. This makes the HS224CLEAR particularly useful for protecting identification labels and maintaining visual traceability within electrical control panels, machinery wiring and automation installations. The generous 150 m supply supports repeated installation tasks and high-volume electrical assembly work.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and assembly.
- PLC and automation equipment wiring.
- Protection of cable identification markers and printed labels.
- Transparent sleeving for small-diameter conductors and wire terminations.
- Electronics assembly and equipment maintenance.
- OEM machinery wiring and electrical manufacturing.
