Why Choose the Partex HS248EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Green/Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS248EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a practical and versatile 2:1 green/yellow heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, protective conductor identification and mechanical protection of wires and electrical connections. Featuring the distinctive green/yellow colour combination, this heat shrink sleeving is particularly suitable for identifying protective earth conductors in electrical installations, industrial control panels and machinery wiring systems.
Manufactured as part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, HS248EARTH(GRN/YEL) provides a convenient solution for protecting and identifying electrical wiring. When heated appropriately, the tubing contracts around the conductor or cable component, producing a close-fitting protective sleeve that helps reduce exposure to abrasion and everyday handling damage. Its green/yellow appearance supports the identification of protective earth connections in accordance with applicable electrical wiring conventions.
With a nominal supplied internal diameter of 4.8 mm, a fully recovered diameter of approximately 2.4 mm and a 2:1 shrink ratio, HS248EARTH(GRN/YEL) is suitable for appropriately sized protective earth conductors, cable terminations and electrical connections. Supplied in a 75 m pack, it offers a convenient solution for repetitive electrical assembly, control panel manufacturing and industrial maintenance applications.

Reliable Protective Earth Identification and Cable Insulation
Correct identification of protective conductors is an important part of electrical installation safety and maintenance. The Partex HS248EARTH(GRN/YEL) provides a convenient method of applying a green/yellow identification sleeve to suitably sized protective earth conductors and electrical connections. Its distinctive colour combination helps electricians, panel builders and maintenance engineers recognise protective conductor connections during installation, inspection and servicing.
The 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to contract from its nominal 4.8 mm supplied diameter towards a 2.4 mm fully recovered diameter. When correctly sized and heated, the sleeve forms a close fit around the conductor, providing a neat finish and helping to protect the sleeved area from routine abrasion. Green/yellow identification should be reserved for protective conductors in accordance with the applicable electrical installation requirements.
The 75 m pack is convenient for repeated cutting and installation in electrical workshops, control panel production and industrial maintenance environments. For reliable results, select tubing that can pass over the conductor or termination before shrinking and recover sufficiently to grip the finished assembly. Apply heat evenly using an appropriate heat gun and allow the sleeve to cool before handling. The tubing is an identification and protective sleeving product and does not replace the requirement for correctly sized protective conductors or sound electrical terminations.
