Why Choose the Partex HSMB48EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Green/Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB48EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a professional green/yellow 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, conductor protection and protective earth identification. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 4.8 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 2.4 mm, this tubing contracts when heated to provide a close-fitting protective sleeve around appropriately sized wires and electrical conductors.
The distinctive green/yellow colour combination is used to identify protective earth conductors in accordance with applicable electrical wiring standards. This makes the HSMB48EARTH(GRN/YEL) particularly useful for electrical control panels, machinery wiring, distribution equipment and industrial electrical installations where clear identification of protective earthing connections is essential.
Supplied in a convenient 12 m pack, this Partex heat shrink tubing provides a practical solution for repeated electrical installation, maintenance and cable identification tasks. Its 4.8/2.4 mm nominal dimensions make it suitable for appropriately sized conductors requiring a neat, durable-looking identification sleeve and additional protection against everyday handling and abrasion.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio allows the tubing to recover to approximately half its original nominal diameter.
- 4.8 mm supplied diameter accommodates appropriately sized electrical conductors and connections.
- 2.4 mm nominal recovered diameter provides a close-fitting covering around compatible wires.
- Green/yellow identification supports the clear recognition of protective earth conductors.
- 12 m pack length provides material for multiple electrical installation and maintenance tasks.
- Helps protect conductor insulation and identification areas against abrasion and everyday handling.
- Supports consistent protective earth identification across control panels and electrical assemblies.
- Heat-activated installation provides a neat finish without additional fastening components.

Protective Earth Identification for Industrial Control and Electrical Installations
Correct identification of protective earth conductors is an important part of safe electrical installation and maintenance. The Partex HSMB48EARTH(GRN/YEL) combines the recognised green/yellow protective earth colour combination with a heat shrink construction that contracts around appropriately sized conductors. Its nominal 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to reduce from approximately 4.8 mm to 2.4 mm when fully recovered, providing a close-fitting identification sleeve.
In industrial automation systems, electrical distribution equipment and machinery control panels, green/yellow heat shrink tubing can help identify protective earth conductors at termination points and within cable assemblies. It can be particularly useful where an appropriately specified conductor requires additional identification at accessible connection points. Installers must follow applicable wiring regulations and ensure that the tubing fits over the largest part of the connection before shrinking and recovers sufficiently around the underlying conductor. The tubing provides identification and covering only; it does not replace the protective earth conductor or establish electrical continuity. Any required voltage rating, temperature resistance or environmental protection classification should be confirmed against the applicable Partex technical documentation.
Typical Applications
- Protective earth conductor identification in electrical installations.
- Industrial control panel earthing and bonding connections.
- Machinery protective earthing conductor identification.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchgear assemblies.
- Protective earth termination identification.
- Electrical maintenance and earthing system repairs.
- Industrial automation equipment and control wiring.
- Identification of appropriately sized protective earth conductors in cable assemblies.
