Why Choose the Partex HS224RED 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS224RED is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and conductor identification in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Featuring a distinctive red finish, this tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 2.4 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 1.2 mm, making it suitable for small electrical wires, cable connections and wiring assemblies.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HS224RED provides a convenient solution for protecting and organising electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying conductor or component, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve that helps provide electrical insulation and a neat, professional finish. Its red colour also supports visual conductor identification and colour-coded cable management.
Supplied in a generous 150 m pack, the HS224RED is ideal for electrical panel builders, cable harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial installers. Its 2:1 shrink ratio provides installation flexibility, while the compact tubing dimensions make it particularly suitable for wiring applications requiring reliable insulation and organised conductor identification.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Wire Identification
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors and small cable connections. The Partex HS224RED contracts when suitable heat is applied, allowing it to conform to compatible cable diameters and create a neat protective covering. Its 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can recover to approximately half its original nominal diameter under appropriate heating conditions.
The red finish makes this tubing particularly useful for wiring installations where visual identification, cable organisation and colour coding are important. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for electrical wires used in control panels, cable harnesses and equipment assemblies. For reliable installation, select the correct tubing diameter and follow the manufacturer's recommended heating procedure.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protective sleeving.
- Control panel wiring and conductor identification.
- Industrial cable harness manufacturing and assembly.
- Small-diameter cable protection and wire management.
- Colour-coded electrical wiring and identification systems.
- Electrical equipment maintenance and repair work.
