Why Choose the Partex HS2381YELLOW 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS2381YELLOW is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection, conductor identification and professional cable management. Manufactured by Partex, this yellow heat shrink sleeving provides a practical solution for protecting insulated conductors, larger cable assemblies and electrical connections 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 cables, cable bundles and electrical components. The distinctive yellow colour supports visual cable identification, helping engineers and installers distinguish designated wiring groups, circuits and equipment connections within organised electrical installations.
With a supplied internal diameter of 38.1 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 19 mm, the HS2381YELLOW is suitable for a range of larger-diameter cables, wiring assemblies and conductor protection applications. Supplied in a convenient 30 m pack, this yellow heat shrink tubing offers a practical solution for electrical contractors, control panel builders, OEM manufacturers and industrial maintenance teams.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and High-Visibility Cable Identification
Heat shrink tubing such as the Partex HS2381YELLOW provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the cable or component, creating a close-fitting sleeve that helps protect against abrasion and handling damage. The 2:1 shrink ratio provides flexibility when selecting tubing for compatible cable and conductor sizes. For effective installation, the tubing must be large enough to pass over the application before shrinking while having sufficient recovery to grip the finished assembly.
The bright yellow finish makes the HS2381YELLOW particularly useful for high-visibility cable identification and organised electrical installations. Yellow sleeving can help distinguish selected wiring groups, cable assemblies or equipment connections where the colour is appropriate under the applicable identification scheme. Its 30 m pack supports repeated installation tasks in industrial automation, control panel manufacturing and electrical maintenance. Solid yellow sleeving must not be confused with the green/yellow colour combination reserved for protective earth conductors under applicable UK and European wiring conventions.
Typical Applications
- Electrical cable insulation and protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and assembly.
- PLC and automation equipment cable management.
- Yellow cable identification and colour-coded wiring systems.
- High-visibility identification of compatible cable assemblies.
- Protection of larger-diameter insulated conductors and cable bundles.
- OEM machinery wiring, cable harness assembly and electrical maintenance.
