Why Choose the Partex HSMB127EARTH(GRN/YEL) Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB127EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a green/yellow 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for protective conductor identification, electrical insulation and cable sleeving in industrial, commercial and general electrical installations. Supplied in a convenient 8 m pack, this tubing provides a practical solution for marking and protecting compatible earth conductors, cable connections and electrical wiring assemblies.
Featuring a nominal supplied internal diameter of 12.7 mm and a nominal recovered internal diameter of 6.3 mm, the tubing contracts when suitable heat is applied to form a close-fitting sleeve around compatible conductors and components. Its 2:1 shrink ratio provides controlled diameter reduction, making it suitable for protective conductor identification and cable protection applications.
The distinctive green/yellow colour combination is used to identify protective conductors in accordance with applicable electrical wiring standards. As part of the Partex HSMB heat shrink tubing range, the HSMB127EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a practical choice for electrical contractors, control panel builders, industrial maintenance engineers and cable assembly specialists requiring clearly identifiable protective conductor sleeving.

Protective Earth Identification and Reliable Cable Protection
Green/yellow heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of identifying protective conductors while adding a close-fitting sleeve around compatible wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the conductor or cable, helping protect the sleeved area against abrasion, handling damage and general mechanical wear.
The Partex HSMB127EARTH(GRN/YEL) features a 12.7 mm nominal supplied internal diameter and a 2:1 shrink ratio, allowing recovery towards a nominal internal diameter of 6.3 mm. This makes it suitable for compatible protective conductors and wiring assemblies where a larger-diameter identification sleeve is required.
The green/yellow finish is particularly important in electrical installations because this colour combination is reserved for protective conductor identification under applicable UK and European wiring conventions. The tubing should be used only where this identification is appropriate and must not be used to designate live or neutral conductors. Correct conductor sizing, continuity, termination and compliance with the relevant installation standards remain essential.
Typical Applications
- Protective earth conductor identification and sleeving.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchgear assemblies.
- Industrial control panels and automation equipment.
- Machinery protective bonding conductor identification.
- Electrical cabinet wiring and cable management.
- Compatible protective conductor connections and cable assemblies.
- Electrical installation maintenance and refurbishment.
- Protective conductor marking in commercial and industrial electrical systems.
