ECHS21016RED Partex 2:1 heat shrink tubing, 101.6/50.8mm, red, pack 15m

Why Choose the Partex ECHS21016RED 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?

The Partex ECHS21016RED is a versatile red heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and wire identification in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, the tubing reduces from a nominal supplied internal diameter of 101.6 mm to approximately 50.8 mm when correctly heated, providing a close-fitting protective covering around suitably sized cables and electrical components.

As part of the Partex ECHS heat shrink tubing range, this product provides a practical solution for insulating conductors, protecting electrical connections and organising cable assemblies. Its distinctive red colour supports visual identification and colour-coded cable management, making it particularly useful for industrial wiring, large cable harnesses, electrical equipment assembly and maintenance applications where clear cable identification is important.

Supplied in a convenient 15 m pack, the ECHS21016RED is ideal for electrical contractors, control panel builders, OEM manufacturers and maintenance engineers requiring large-diameter heat shrink sleeving. Its generous 101.6 mm supplied internal diameter makes it particularly useful for covering large cables, substantial cable bundles and appropriately sized electrical connections. The tubing can be cut to the required length and installed using a suitable heat gun.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Identification

Heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of insulating electrical conductors, covering suitable cable joints and protecting wiring assemblies. When controlled heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, creating a neat, closely fitted sleeve that helps reduce exposure to abrasion and general handling damage. For larger cable assemblies, selecting tubing with sufficient supplied diameter is especially important to ensure that it can be positioned over the intended components before shrinking.

The Partex ECHS21016RED combines a practical 2:1 shrink ratio with a distinctive red finish, making it suitable for professional electrical installations where cable protection and clear wiring identification are important. Its nominal 101.6 mm supplied diameter and 50.8 mm recovered diameter provide flexibility when covering appropriately sized large cables, cable bundles, connections and components. Red sleeving can also support identification of specific circuits or cable groups where this colour is appropriate under the applicable wiring standards and installation identification scheme.

Typical Applications

• Electrical insulation of suitably sized large cables and conductors.
• Industrial control panel wiring and electrical equipment assembly.
• Colour-coded cable identification and organisation.
• Protection of large cable harnesses and substantial bundled wiring.
• Covering suitable electrical connections and cable terminations.
• Industrial automation, machinery and equipment wiring.
• Electrical maintenance, repair and refurbishment.
• OEM electrical equipment manufacturing and industrial workshop assembly.
