Why Choose the Partex HSMB127RED 2:1 Red Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB127RED is a versatile and reliable red heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable identification and protection of wires and electrical connections. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, this tubing contracts when heated to provide a neat, close-fitting protective covering around compatible cables, conductors and electrical components.
As part of the Partex HSMB heat shrink tubing range, it provides a practical solution for electrical installers, maintenance engineers and control panel builders requiring effective cable protection and identification. Its red colour supports clear visual identification and colour-coded wiring installations, while its heat-activated shrinking action enables a professional finish on cable assemblies and electrical connections.
With a nominal supplied diameter of 12.7 mm, a recovered diameter of 6.3 mm and an 8 m pack length, the HSMB127RED is suitable for insulating and protecting appropriately sized cables in industrial machinery, electrical control panels and general wiring applications.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Protection for Industrial Electrical Systems
Heat shrink tubing is widely used in electrical engineering to provide insulation, protect conductors and improve the organisation of cable assemblies. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, creating a close-fitting sleeve that helps reduce exposure to abrasion and everyday handling damage.
The Partex HSMB127RED is designed for applications where red cable identification and heat shrink protection are required. Its 2:1 shrink ratio makes it suitable for a range of appropriately sized conductors and cable assemblies, while the convenient 8 m pack allows electrical engineers and installers to cut the tubing to the required length for each installation. The red finish can be used for designated circuits, cable groups and wiring identification schemes where this colour is specified.
Typical Applications
- Electrical cable insulation and wire protection.
- Control panel wiring and electrical cabinet assembly.
- Industrial machinery and automation wiring.
- Red cable identification and colour-coded wiring systems.
- Protection of compatible cable joints and electrical terminations.
- Electrical maintenance, servicing and repair applications.
- OEM equipment manufacturing and cable harness assembly.
