Why Choose the Partex ECHS224CLEAR 2:1 Clear Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS224CLEAR is a versatile clear 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical wire insulation, cable protection, identification label covering and professional wiring applications. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 2.4 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 1.2 mm, this transparent heat shrink sleeving provides a neat, close-fitting covering when correctly heated around suitably sized wires and components.
The 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to recover to approximately half its original internal diameter when exposed to suitable heat. Its clear finish is particularly useful where underlying wire colours, identification markings or cable labels need to remain visible after installation. The tubing also provides an additional insulating layer and helps protect covered wiring against abrasion and general handling wear.
Supplied in a generous 150 m pack, the ECHS224CLEAR is ideal for electrical contractors, control panel builders, equipment manufacturers and maintenance engineers requiring consistent heat shrink sleeving for repeated installation tasks. Its transparent appearance makes it a practical choice for organised wiring systems, electronic assemblies and cable identification applications.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio allows the tubing to recover to approximately half its original supplied diameter.

Transparent 2:1 Heat Shrink Protection for Electrical Wiring
The Partex ECHS224CLEAR is designed to create a close-fitting protective sleeve around small wires and compatible electrical components while retaining visibility of the underlying surface. This makes transparent heat shrink tubing particularly useful for protecting printed cable markers, wire identification labels and colour-coded conductors without unnecessarily concealing their identifying details.
With a nominal diameter of 2.4 mm before shrinking and 1.2 mm after full recovery, this tubing is suitable for applications requiring relatively fine heat shrink sleeving. It should be selected so that it slides over the component before heating and contracts sufficiently to grip it afterwards. Controlled heat should be applied evenly using suitable equipment. The 150 m supply length enables installers to cut sleeves to the required dimensions for efficient electrical assembly and maintenance.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protection.
- Transparent covering of compatible cable identification labels.
- Control panel wiring and cable organisation.
- Electronic equipment assembly and repair.
- Small conductor and cable joint covering.
- Industrial automation and instrumentation wiring.
- Protection of printed wire markers and identification sleeves.
- Electrical equipment manufacturing and maintenance.
- Colour-coded wiring systems where conductor colours need to remain visible.
- Workshop electrical repairs and cable assembly production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex ECHS224CLEAR used for?
The Partex ECHS224CLEAR is transparent heat shrink tubing used for electrical wire insulation, cable protection and covering compatible identification labels or markings while allowing the underlying surface to remain visible.
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. For this product, the nominal diameter changes from 2.4 mm to 1.2 mm upon full recovery.
What size is the Partex ECHS224CLEAR tubing?
The tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 2.4 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 1.2 mm. It is intended for suitably sized small wires, cable assemblies and electrical components.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied?
The Partex ECHS224CLEAR is supplied in a 150 m pack, providing a substantial length of tubing that can be cut into individual sleeves for electrical installation, manufacturing and maintenance work.
How is the ECHS224CLEAR heat shrink tubing installed?
Cut the tubing to the required length, slide it over the wire 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 clear heat shrink tubing protect cable identification labels?
Yes. The clear finish makes the ECHS224CLEAR useful for covering suitably sized cable identification labels and markings while helping retain their visibility. The underlying label or marking must be compatible with the installation temperature, and legibility should be checked after shrinking.
