Why Choose the Partex ECHS21016CLEAR Clear Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS21016CLEAR is a large-diameter 2:1 clear heat shrink tubing designed for electrical cable sleeving, insulation and protection in industrial electrical installations and cable assembly applications. Supplied in a 15 m pack, the tubing has a nominal diameter of 101.6 mm before shrinking and a nominal recovered diameter of 50.8 mm.
The clear, transparent finish makes this tubing particularly useful where underlying cable markings, identification labels or conductor colours need to remain visible after installation. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the cable or component to create a close-fitting protective covering without unnecessarily obscuring existing identification.
With its 2:1 shrink ratio, generous 101.6 mm supplied diameter and practical 15 m pack length, the Partex ECHS21016CLEAR is suitable for electrical contractors, panel builders, maintenance engineers and industrial cable assembly manufacturers working with larger cable bundles and appropriately sized electrical components.
Key Advantages
- Transparent heat shrink tubing allows underlying cable identification and markings to remain visible.
- 2:1 shrink ratio provides a close-fitting covering around suitable cables and components.
- 101.6 mm nominal supplied diameter accommodates larger cable assemblies.
- 50.8 mm nominal recovered diameter when fully shrunk.
- 15 m pack length provides material for multiple installation and maintenance tasks.
- Helps protect cable surfaces and existing identification markings.
- Can be cut to the required length for individual cable sleeving applications.
- Suitable for electrical control panels, industrial equipment and cable assembly work.

Transparent Cable Protection for Industrial Electrical Applications
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of covering cables, conductors and appropriately sized electrical components. The Partex ECHS21016CLEAR is designed to reduce its diameter when heated, allowing the tubing to conform around the underlying surface. Its clear finish is particularly beneficial where existing cable markings, printed identification or colour coding must remain visible.
The large 101.6 mm supplied diameter makes this tubing useful for applications involving larger cables and cable bundles, while the 2:1 shrink ratio provides flexibility when selecting suitable installation sizes. The tubing can be cut to the required length before positioning and shrinking. Correct diameter selection and controlled heating are important for achieving an effective fit without damaging the underlying cable or component.
Typical Applications
- Large-diameter electrical cable sleeving.
- Protection of existing cable identification markings.
- Industrial cable bundle covering.
- Electrical switchgear and distribution equipment.
- Control panel and automation cabinet wiring.
- Cable assembly manufacturing and refurbishment.
- Electrical installation and maintenance projects.
- Transparent covering of suitably sized labelled components.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex ECHS21016CLEAR used for?
The Partex ECHS21016CLEAR is used for electrical cable sleeving, identification protection and covering larger cable assemblies where a transparent heat shrink finish is required.
What is the shrink ratio of this heat shrink tubing?
The tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio, reducing from a nominal supplied diameter of 101.6 mm to a nominal recovered diameter of 50.8 mm when fully shrunk.
How much tubing is supplied in one pack?
Each pack contains 15 m of clear heat shrink tubing, which can be cut into individual sections according to installation requirements.
Can cable identification labels be seen through the tubing?
Yes. The clear, transparent finish is suitable for applications where underlying cable labels, printed markings or colour identification need to remain visible, subject to the clarity of the finished installation.
Is this tubing suitable for large cable bundles?
Yes. Its 101.6 mm supplied diameter makes it suitable for larger cable bundles and components that fit within the tubing before shrinking and allow an appropriate recovered fit.
How is Partex ECHS21016CLEAR installed?
Cut the tubing to the required length, slide it over the cable or component and apply controlled heat evenly until it contracts to the desired fit. Follow the manufacturer's heating recommendations and avoid overheating.
