Why Choose the Partex HS295BLACK 2:1 Black Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS295BLACK is a practical black 2:1 heat shrink tubing product designed for electrical cable sleeving, wire insulation, cable identification and protection of suitably sized electrical connections. Manufactured by Partex, this heat shrink sleeving provides a convenient cable management solution for electricians, control panel builders, industrial automation engineers, maintenance professionals and electrical equipment manufacturers.
Featuring a 2:1 nominal shrink ratio, the HS295BLACK reduces in diameter when heat is applied, allowing the tubing to conform around compatible electrical wires, cable sections and components. The tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 9.5 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 4.7 mm, providing a useful sleeving option for electrical wiring applications requiring a larger initial diameter than smaller heat shrink sizes.
The black colour provides a discreet, professional finish for electrical wiring and cable assemblies, helping maintain a consistent appearance across control panels, wiring harnesses and industrial equipment. Supplied in a 75 m pack, the HS295BLACK can be cut to the required length for electrical panel assembly, cable harness production, machinery wiring and ongoing maintenance work.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio provides substantial diameter reduction when the tubing is correctly recovered.
- 9.5 mm supplied diameter offers a practical sleeving size for appropriately sized electrical cables, wires and connections.
- 4.7 mm nominal recovered diameter allows the tubing to form a close-fitting covering around compatible components.
- Black colour provides a neat, consistent appearance for electrical installations and cable assemblies.
- Heat-activated recovery creates a fitted sleeve without requiring a separate mechanical fastening system.
- Cut-to-length flexibility allows installers to prepare individual sleeves according to application requirements.
- Useful for cable organisation, wire sleeving and protection against incidental contact and light abrasion when correctly specified.
- 75 m pack quantity supports repeated use in electrical manufacturing, installation and maintenance projects.
- Practical for control panel assembly, cable harness production and industrial wiring applications.
- Provides a tidy finish for appropriately sized electrical cable assemblies.

Flexible Cable Insulation and Protection for Electrical Control Systems
Effective cable insulation and organisation help maintain tidy electrical installations, improve wiring accessibility and simplify equipment maintenance. The Partex HS295BLACK provides a heat-shrinkable sleeve that can be cut to length, positioned over a compatible wire or connection and heated to achieve a close fit. This makes it a practical option for electrical wiring in control panels, industrial automation equipment, machinery assemblies and cable harnesses.
The combination of a 9.5 mm supplied diameter, 4.7 mm recovered diameter and 2:1 nominal shrink ratio provides a useful sizing range for applications involving electrical conductors and connections that require a larger initial sleeve opening. The supplied diameter must be large enough to pass over the intended component before heating, while the recovered diameter must be appropriate for achieving the required finished fit. Installers should consider the dimensions of terminals, connectors, cable joints and other components that the tubing may need to pass over during assembly.
In electrical control panels, heat shrink tubing can help provide a tidy finish to cable assemblies and offer a covering for suitable wiring sections. The black finish is particularly useful where a consistent appearance is preferred across wiring harnesses, industrial machinery and electrical equipment. It can also be incorporated into a documented cable identification scheme where black sleeving is specified.
For cable harness production, the HS295BLACK can be cut into individual lengths to suit the requirements of different wiring assemblies. Heat shrink tubing can help organise selected cable sections, cover appropriately sized connections and provide a fitted outer sleeve. Its suitability for a particular application depends on the dimensions of the underlying components and the manufacturer's verified material and electrical performance characteristics.
Before installation, users should confirm the required electrical insulation rating, recovery temperature, operating temperature, material compatibility and environmental suitability against the manufacturer's technical documentation. Heat should be applied evenly using a suitable installation tool and method, avoiding overheating or damage to the underlying cable insulation. The finished installation should be inspected to ensure that the tubing has recovered appropriately around the intended component. Black colour alone does not confirm UV resistance, weather resistance or outdoor suitability.
Typical Applications
- Insulation and sleeving of appropriately sized electrical wires and connections.
- Electrical control panel wiring and assembly.
- Industrial automation and machinery wiring.
- Cable harness manufacturing and wiring organisation.
- Electrical cable identification and circuit management.
- Electrical equipment manufacturing and OEM assemblies.
- Protection of suitable wiring sections against light abrasion.
- Electrical maintenance, repairs and cable refurbishment.
- Instrumentation and control wiring assemblies.
- General-purpose heat shrink sleeving applications where the tubing specifications are suitable.
