Why Choose the Partex HSKIT219.1 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing Kit?
The Partex HSKIT219.1 is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing kit designed for electrical insulation, cable protection, wire identification and professional cable management. Manufactured by Partex, a specialist in cable marking and identification products, this heat shrink tubing provides a practical solution for protecting electrical connections and creating neat, durable cable installations.
The tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 19.1 mm and shrinks to approximately 9.5 mm when correctly heated, allowing it to fit securely around cables, wires and suitable electrical components. Its 2:1 shrink ratio makes it suitable for applications where a close-fitting protective sleeve is required.
Supplied as a convenient heat shrink tubing kit, the HSKIT219.1 is suitable for electrical maintenance, industrial automation, control panel wiring and general cable assembly work. Heat shrink tubing provides a tidy alternative to conventional wrapping methods and helps protect insulated connections from abrasion and handling damage.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Protection
Heat shrink tubing works by contracting when exposed to an appropriate heat source, allowing the sleeve to conform closely to the cable or component underneath. The Partex HSKIT219.1 features a 2:1 shrink ratio, meaning its diameter can reduce to approximately half its original size under the appropriate shrinking conditions.
For best results, select tubing that can pass over the largest part of the assembly before shrinking and recover sufficiently to grip the intended surface. Apply heat evenly using a suitable temperature-controlled heat gun, following the manufacturer's installation guidance. The tubing is useful for improving cable organisation, covering suitable insulated connections and reducing exposure to mechanical wear.
Typical Applications
- Electrical cable insulation and protective sleeving.
- Industrial control panel wiring and cable management.
- Protection of suitable wire joints and electrical connections.
- Cable harness assembly and maintenance.
- Industrial machinery and automation wiring.
- Electrical repair and refurbishment work.
- Bundling and organising compatible wires and cables.
- General electrical installation and maintenance.
