ECHS2254CLEAR Partex 2:1 heat shrink tubing, 25.4/12.7mm, clear, pack 30m

Why Choose the Partex ECHS2254CLEAR 2:1 Clear Heat Shrink Tubing?

The Partex ECHS2254CLEAR is a professional clear 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical cable insulation, cable identification protection, conductor sleeving and general electrical installation applications. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 25.4 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 12.7 mm, this transparent heat shrink sleeving provides a neat, close-fitting protective covering around suitably sized electrical cables, wire bundles, conductor connections and cable assemblies.

The 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to recover to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated correctly. Its clear, transparent finish is particularly useful where underlying cable colours, printed identification labels or conductor markings need to remain visible. The tubing provides an additional insulating layer while helping protect covered surfaces against abrasion and general handling wear.

Supplied in a practical 30 m pack, the ECHS2254CLEAR is suitable for electrical contractors, control panel manufacturers, industrial equipment builders and maintenance engineers requiring larger-diameter transparent heat shrink sleeving. Its combination of protective coverage and visibility makes it useful for cable identification systems, electrical equipment assembly, machinery wiring and professional cable management.

Key Advantages

• 2:1 heat shrink ratio enables controlled diameter reduction for compatible cables and components.
• 25.4 mm nominal supplied diameter accommodates suitably sized electrical cables, wire bundles and connections.

Transparent 2:1 Heat Shrink Protection for Larger Cables and Identification Markings

The Partex ECHS2254CLEAR provides a practical solution for protecting compatible electrical cables and wiring assemblies while retaining visibility of their underlying surfaces. Unlike opaque sleeving, the transparent finish allows cable identification markings, printed labels and conductor colours to remain visible after installation, subject to the clarity of the completed sleeve and compatibility of the underlying materials.

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 cable or component, helping create a tidy protective covering. The 25.4 mm nominal supplied diameter allows the sleeve to pass over suitably sized cables and assemblies, while the 12.7 mm nominal fully recovered diameter provides the potential for a close-fitting finish.

The 30 m supply length allows installers to cut sleeves to the required dimensions for electrical assembly, cable identification and maintenance work. The tubing should be selected so that it fits over the component before heating and recovers sufficiently afterwards. It should not be assumed to provide waterproof sealing, adhesive bonding or a particular voltage rating without confirmation of the relevant product specifications.
