Why Choose the Partex HSKIT23.2 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing Kit?
The Partex HSKIT23.2 is a practical 2:1 heat shrink tubing kit designed for electrical insulation, wire protection and cable sleeving in industrial, commercial and general electrical installations. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 3.2 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 1.6 mm, this tubing is particularly suitable for appropriately sized smaller electrical wires, conductors and wiring assemblies.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HSKIT23.2 provides a convenient method of applying protective insulation to compatible electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying wire or component, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve. Its 2:1 shrink ratio provides installation flexibility, helping installers achieve neat, professional results when protecting and organising smaller conductors.
Supplied in a convenient kit format, the Partex HSKIT23.2 is suitable for electricians, electrical panel builders, maintenance engineers, electronics technicians and cable harness manufacturers. Its 3.2/1.6 mm diameter specification makes it a practical choice for smaller wire sleeving applications where compact insulation, cable protection and organised wiring are important.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio: Allows the tubing to contract to approximately half its original nominal diameter when fully recovered.
- 3.2 mm supplied diameter: Suitable for installation over appropriately sized smaller wires and electrical components.
- 1.6 mm recovered diameter: Provides close-fitting protective sleeving around compatible small-diameter conductors.
- Convenient kit format: Offers a practical heat shrink tubing solution for electrical installation, assembly and maintenance.
- Compact insulation: Supports protective coverage of suitable small electrical wiring assemblies.
- Protective wire sleeving: Helps protect covered areas of conductors from incidental abrasion and handling.
- Cut-to-length flexibility: Allows tubing to be prepared for different wire lengths and installation requirements.
- Neat wiring finish: Supports professional cable organisation in control panels, electrical equipment and wiring harnesses.

Reliable Small-Diameter Wire Insulation and Protection
The Partex HSKIT23.2 provides a convenient solution for applying heat shrink tubing to smaller electrical conductors and wiring assemblies. The tubing is positioned over the intended section of wire before suitable heat is applied. As it contracts, the tubing conforms to the underlying wire insulation or component, creating a close-fitting protective covering.
With a 3.2 mm supplied diameter and a 1.6 mm nominal recovered diameter, the tubing is suitable for compatible small-diameter wiring where a 2:1 shrink ratio provides the necessary installation clearance and recovery. This makes it useful for compact electrical assemblies, control wiring and smaller cable harness applications.
For effective installation, select tubing with a supplied diameter large enough to pass over the largest section of the wire or component and a recovered diameter small enough to provide a close fit. Apply heat evenly using suitable equipment and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions. Confirm the tubing's electrical and environmental suitability before using it in a particular application.
