Why Choose the Partex HS248YELLOW 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS248YELLOW is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, wire protection, cable identification and professional cable management. Manufactured by Partex, this yellow heat shrink sleeving provides a practical solution for insulating and protecting wires, conductors 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 wires, cable insulation and small electrical components. The distinctive yellow colour supports visual cable identification, helping engineers and installers distinguish wiring groups, electrical circuits and designated connections within organised installations.
With a supplied internal diameter of 4.8 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 2.4 mm, the HS248YELLOW is suitable for a range of small and medium-diameter wiring and cable protection applications. Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, this yellow heat shrink tubing provides a practical bulk solution for electrical contractors, control panel builders, OEM manufacturers and industrial maintenance teams.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Cable Protection
Heat shrink tubing such as the Partex HS248YELLOW 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.
The yellow colour makes the HS248YELLOW particularly useful for colour-coded cable identification and organised wiring installations. Yellow sleeving can help distinguish designated circuits, wiring groups or connections where the chosen identification scheme is appropriate. Its bright finish also improves the visibility of marked cable sections during installation, inspection and maintenance. The generous 75 m supply supports repeated installation tasks and electrical assembly work, making it a practical choice for industrial automation, control panel manufacturing and electrical maintenance.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and assembly.
- PLC and automation equipment wiring.
- Yellow cable identification and colour-coded wiring systems.
- Protection of compatible conductors and insulated wire terminations.
- Electronics assembly and equipment maintenance.
- OEM machinery wiring and electrical manufacturing.
