Why Choose the Partex HS2254EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS2254EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a professional green and yellow 2:1 heat shrink tubing solution designed for protective earth conductor identification, electrical insulation and cable protection. Featuring a nominal expanded internal diameter of 25.4 mm and a nominal fully recovered internal diameter of 12.7 mm, this green/yellow heat shrink sleeving is suitable for appropriately sized protective earth conductors, earthing cables, bonding conductors and electrical assemblies.
With its 2:1 shrink ratio, the Partex HS2254EARTH(GRN/YEL) can contract to approximately half its original internal diameter when correctly heated, creating a close-fitting sleeve around compatible cables and components. Its larger 25.4 mm starting diameter makes it a practical choice for suitably sized earthing cables, bonding connections and electrical conductors requiring a wider sleeve than smaller heat shrink tubing sizes.
The distinctive green/yellow colour combination provides clear visual identification of protective earth conductors in accordance with applicable electrical identification conventions. Supplied in a convenient 30 metre pack, the HS2254EARTH(GRN/YEL) offers electricians, electrical panel builders, industrial maintenance engineers and equipment manufacturers a practical supply of heat shrink sleeving for professional earthing and bonding installations.

Professional Green/Yellow Heat Shrink Sleeving for Protective Earth Identification
The Partex HS2254EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 heat shrink tubing is designed for applications requiring clearly identifiable protective earth sleeving around suitably sized electrical conductors. Its 25.4 mm nominal expanded internal diameter allows the tubing to be positioned over compatible earthing cables and connections, while its 12.7 mm nominal fully recovered internal diameter enables it to contract around suitable underlying surfaces when correctly heated.
In UK electrical installations, the green/yellow colour combination is reserved for protective conductors under the applicable wiring identification rules. Green/yellow heat shrink sleeving therefore provides a useful way to identify protective earth and protective bonding conductors where such identification is required. It should not be used to identify line, neutral or other conductors for which green/yellow identification is inappropriate.
The larger 25.4/12.7 mm size makes this tubing particularly useful for suitably sized earthing cables and bonding arrangements that require more clearance during installation. Before selecting the tubing, installers should measure the largest part of the conductor or connection that the sleeve must pass over, as well as the diameter of the area where it needs to achieve a close fit.
During installation, a suitable length of tubing is cut and positioned over the conductor before controlled heat is applied. As the tubing shrinks, it conforms to the underlying surface and provides a visible green/yellow identification sleeve. The stated recovered diameter refers to nominal unrestricted recovery rather than a guaranteed final diameter when fitted over a cable.
The HS2254EARTH(GRN/YEL) is suitable for consideration in electrical control panels, distribution equipment, industrial machinery and electrical assemblies where protective earth conductors require clear identification. Correct identification is an important part of electrical installation practice, but heat shrink sleeving does not replace the need for properly designed protective conductors, secure electrical terminations or verified earthing continuity.
With 30 metres supplied per pack, this Partex green/yellow heat shrink tubing is a practical option for panel-building workshops, industrial maintenance departments and electrical installation contractors. It can be cut into individual sleeves of the required length, allowing consistent identification of multiple protective earth and bonding conductors.
For applications requiring a specified insulation voltage, operating temperature range, flame-retardancy classification, chemical resistance or moisture sealing, the relevant Partex technical specifications should be confirmed before use. The 2:1 shrink ratio describes dimensional recovery and does not independently establish these additional performance characteristics or confirm an adhesive lining.
