Why Choose the Partex HS295GREY 2:1 Grey Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS295GREY is a versatile grey heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection, conductor identification and professional cable management. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, this tubing reduces from a nominal supplied internal diameter of 9.5 mm to 4.7 mm when fully recovered, providing a close-fitting protective sleeve around appropriately sized wires, cables and electrical components.
Manufactured by Partex, a recognised specialist in cable identification and electrical installation products, this grey heat shrink tubing provides a practical solution for protecting electrical connections while supporting clear and consistent conductor identification. Its distinctive grey colour is particularly useful for colour-coded wiring systems, helping electricians, control panel builders and maintenance engineers distinguish conductors and cable groups within electrical installations.
Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, the HS295GREY is suitable for electrical contractors, industrial manufacturers, automation engineers and maintenance professionals requiring a bulk supply of heat shrink sleeving. With its 9.5 mm supplied diameter and 4.7 mm nominal recovered diameter, it is ideal for appropriately sized conductors, cable terminations and protective sleeving applications in industrial and commercial environments.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Conductor Identification
Heat shrink tubing is widely used in electrical and industrial installations to provide protective sleeving around conductors, cable connections and electrical components. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying component, creating a neat, close-fitting covering that helps protect against abrasion and provides additional electrical insulation where appropriate.
The Partex HS295GREY combines a practical 2:1 shrink ratio with a distinctive grey finish, making it particularly useful for electrical installations where conductor identification and organised wiring are important. The tubing can be used to identify conductors, protect suitable electrical connections and provide a professional finish to cable assemblies.
In UK and European harmonised wiring systems, grey is commonly used to identify the L3 line conductor in three-phase electrical installations. Grey heat shrink sleeving can therefore assist with phase identification at cable terminations and within electrical control panels. However, the selected identification method must comply with applicable wiring regulations and installation requirements, and colour-coded sleeving must not be treated as a substitute for appropriate electrical safety procedures.
For effective installation, select tubing with a supplied internal diameter large enough to pass over the intended cable or component and a recovered diameter suitable for the required fit. Cut the tubing to length and apply controlled, even heat using an appropriate heat gun, following the manufacturer's installation recommendations and avoiding excessive heating of the underlying cable insulation.
