Why Choose the Partex ECHS2127YELLOW 2:1 Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS2127YELLOW is a professional yellow 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical cable insulation, wire identification, conductor protection and cable assembly applications. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 12.7 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 6.3 mm, this heat shrink sleeving provides a neat, close-fitting protective covering around suitably sized electrical cables, wire bundles and components.
The 2:1 shrink ratio enables the tubing to contract to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated correctly. This allows the sleeving to conform around compatible cables, conductor joints and wiring assemblies, providing an additional insulating layer while helping protect covered surfaces against abrasion and general handling wear.
Supplied in a convenient 50 m pack, the ECHS2127YELLOW is suitable for electrical contractors, control panel builders, equipment manufacturers and maintenance engineers who require dependable heat shrink sleeving for repeated installation tasks. Its distinctive yellow finish supports visual cable identification and organised wiring systems in electrical, electronic and industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio provides controlled diameter reduction for compatible cables and components.
- 12.7 mm nominal supplied diameter accommodates suitably sized electrical cables, wire bundles and connections.

Reliable 2:1 Heat Shrink Protection and Yellow Cable Identification
The Partex ECHS2127YELLOW provides a practical solution for covering compatible electrical cables and wiring assemblies. The tubing is positioned over the required cable section before controlled heat is applied evenly using suitable hot-air equipment. As the material warms, it contracts around the underlying surface, helping produce a tidy insulating covering and reducing the need for conventional tape wrapping. Its yellow finish also provides a visible means of distinguishing selected cables within an established identification scheme.
With a nominal diameter of 12.7 mm before shrinking and 6.3 mm after full recovery, this tubing is suitable for larger cable sections than the smaller sizes in the Partex 2:1 heat shrink range. The tubing must be large enough to pass over the cable or connection before heating while providing sufficient recovery to fit securely afterwards. The 50 m supply length allows installers to prepare individual sleeves for production, installation and maintenance work. This tubing should not be assumed to provide a waterproof seal or a particular voltage rating without confirmation of the relevant product specifications.
Typical Applications
- Electrical cable insulation and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex ECHS2127YELLOW used for?
The Partex ECHS2127YELLOW is yellow heat shrink tubing used for electrical cable insulation, wire identification, abrasion protection and covering compatible cable joints, conductor connections and wiring assemblies.
What does the 2:1 shrink ratio mean?
A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can recover to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated correctly. The ECHS2127YELLOW has a nominal supplied diameter of 12.7 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 6.3 mm.
What size is the Partex ECHS2127YELLOW tubing?
The tubing measures 12.7 mm in nominal diameter before shrinking and 6.3 mm after full recovery. Select it for cables or components that fit inside the tubing before heating and can be gripped securely after shrinking.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied?
The Partex ECHS2127YELLOW is supplied in a 50 m pack. The tubing can be cut into individual lengths to suit electrical installation, cable assembly, manufacturing and maintenance requirements.
How is the ECHS2127YELLOW heat shrink tubing installed?
Cut the tubing to the required length, slide it over the compatible cable or component, and apply controlled heat evenly using suitable hot-air equipment until the tubing contracts around the surface. Avoid overheating and follow appropriate electrical safety procedures.
Can yellow heat shrink tubing be used for cable identification?
Yes. The yellow finish can support colour-coded cable identification in control panels, machinery and other electrical installations. Conductor identification must still comply with applicable wiring standards, and yellow sleeving should not be assumed to indicate a particular electrical function without reference to the installation's identification scheme.
