Why Choose the Partex HSKIT24.8 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing Kit?
The Partex HSKIT24.8 is a practical 2:1 heat shrink tubing kit designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and the finishing of wires and electrical connections. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 4.8 mm and a recovered diameter of 2.4 mm, the tubing contracts when heated to provide a close-fitting protective sleeve around appropriately sized conductors and components.
Designed for professional electrical installation and cable management applications, Partex heat shrink tubing is suitable for industrial control panels, electrical assemblies, machinery wiring and maintenance work. Its 2:1 shrink ratio makes it a convenient choice for protecting small-diameter cables, individual conductors and compatible electrical terminations.
Supplied in kit format, the HSKIT24.8 offers a convenient option for electrical contractors, control panel builders and maintenance engineers who require heat shrink tubing for cable repairs, wire identification and electrical assembly work. The compact tubing dimensions make it particularly useful for detailed wiring applications where a neat, close-fitting finish is required.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio allows the tubing to contract to approximately half its original nominal diameter.
- 4.8 mm supplied diameter suitable for small cables, individual conductors and compatible electrical connections.

Practical Heat Shrink Protection for Electrical Wiring and Automation Systems
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors by contracting around cables and components when heat is applied. The Partex HSKIT24.8 features a nominal 2:1 shrink ratio, allowing the tubing to reduce from approximately 4.8 mm to 2.4 mm in diameter when fully recovered. This makes it suitable for appropriately sized small cable joints, conductor ends and electrical wiring assemblies.
The HSKIT24.8 is particularly useful in industrial automation systems, electrical control panels and equipment wiring where compact cable protection and organised wiring are required. Installers should ensure that the tubing can pass over the largest part of the connection before heating and recover sufficiently around the underlying conductor. The required electrical rating, operating temperature and suitability for particular environmental conditions should be checked against the applicable Partex technical documentation.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and conductor protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and assembly.
- Small cable joints and electrical termination coverings.
- Wire harness assembly and cable management.
- Machinery wiring and industrial automation equipment.
- Electrical maintenance and cable repair work.
- Protection of appropriately sized cable identification sleeves.
- Workshop electrical assembly and installation tasks.
