Why Choose the Partex HSKIT138.1 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing Kit?
The Partex HSKIT138.1 is a practical 2:1 heat shrink tubing kit designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and professional cable management in industrial, commercial and electrical engineering applications. Featuring heat-shrinkable sleeving with a nominal diameter of 38.1 mm before shrinking and approximately 19 mm after recovery, this kit provides a convenient solution for insulating and protecting larger cables, electrical connections and wiring assemblies.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HSKIT138.1 is designed to provide a close-fitting protective covering when heated using suitable equipment. Its 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to contract around cables and components, helping improve insulation coverage, reduce exposure to mechanical abrasion and create neat, professional electrical installations.
Supplied in a convenient kit format, the Partex HSKIT138.1 is suitable for electrical contractors, control panel builders, industrial maintenance engineers and equipment manufacturers requiring heat shrink sleeving for cable protection and assembly work. The tubing can be cut to suit individual installation requirements, making it useful for electrical repairs, cable terminations and industrial wiring applications.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Cable Protection
The Partex HSKIT138.1 heat shrink tubing kit provides an effective method of insulating and protecting electrical cables, wire connections and cable assemblies. When exposed to controlled heat, the tubing contracts around the underlying component, creating a close-fitting protective covering that helps reduce exposure to abrasion and mechanical damage.
Its 2:1 shrink ratio makes it particularly useful for covering larger cables and electrical components where a reduction in sleeve diameter is required. The tubing can be positioned over a cable or connector before heating, allowing it to contract around the assembly and provide a neat, consistent finish.
The kit format offers a convenient solution for electrical installation and maintenance work, while the large tubing diameter supports applications involving substantial cable bundles and wiring assemblies. The tubing is intended for insulation and mechanical protection and should not be assumed to provide a waterproof seal unless the installation incorporates a suitable sealing system.
