Why Choose the Partex ECHS264YELLOW 2:1 Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS264YELLOW is a versatile and reliable yellow heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable identification, wire protection and cable management applications. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio and a nominal diameter of 6.4 mm before shrinking and 3.2 mm after shrinking, this tubing provides a practical solution for protecting and identifying electrical conductors, cable joints and wiring assemblies.
Designed for use in electrical installations, control panels and industrial wiring systems, the Partex ECHS264YELLOW tubing contracts when heated to form a close-fitting protective sleeve around suitable cables and components. Its yellow colour provides clear visual identification, helping installers, maintenance engineers and panel builders organise wiring and distinguish individual circuits or cable groups.
Supplied in a 75 m pack, the ECHS264YELLOW is particularly suitable for professional electrical contractors, control panel manufacturers and industrial maintenance teams requiring a convenient supply of heat shrink sleeving. Its 6.4 mm to 3.2 mm diameter reduction accommodates a range of compatible cable sizes, making it useful for both new installations and maintenance work.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio provides a close-fitting protective sleeve when correctly heated.
- 6.4 mm supplied diameter reduces to approximately 3.2 mm after unrestricted shrinking.
- Yellow colour supports visual cable identification and organised wiring installations.
- 75 m pack length provides a convenient supply for repetitive installation and maintenance tasks.
- Helps protect insulated wiring against abrasion and everyday handling.
- Suitable for electrical insulation, cable identification and wire bundling applications.
- Can be cut to the required length for individual cables, connections and wiring assemblies.
- Practical for electrical control panels, industrial machinery and general electrical maintenance.
Key Features
- Partex ECHS heat shrink tubing for electrical wiring applications.
- Product reference: ECHS264YELLOW.
- 2:1 shrink ratio for diameter reduction when heat is applied.
- Nominal supplied diameter: 6.4 mm.
- Nominal recovered diameter: 3.2 mm.
- Colour: Yellow.
- Pack length: 75 m.
- Flexible tubular format suitable for cutting into application-specific lengths.
- Designed for installation over compatible conductors, cable joints and wiring components before heat shrinking.
- Suitable for professional electrical installation, cable organisation and maintenance work.
Reliable Cable Protection and Identification for Electrical Installations
Heat shrink tubing is widely used in electrical engineering to provide an additional insulating and protective covering around suitable conductors, cable connections and wiring components. When heat is applied evenly, the tubing contracts around the underlying component, producing a close-fitting sleeve that helps protect wiring against abrasion and mechanical handling.
The Partex ECHS264YELLOW combines a practical 2:1 shrink ratio with a highly visible yellow finish, making it suitable for cable identification and protection within industrial control cabinets, automation equipment and electrical distribution installations. The tubing should be selected according to the dimensions of the component being covered, with sufficient clearance before shrinking and an appropriate recovered diameter for a secure fit.
For control panel builders and maintenance engineers, the 75 m pack provides a useful supply for repeated cable sleeving tasks. The tubing can be cut into shorter sections to suit individual wiring assemblies, supporting consistent cable presentation and easier identification during installation, inspection and servicing.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and additional cable protection.
- Identification of cables and wiring groups in control panels.
- Industrial automation and machinery wiring installations.
- Protection of suitable cable joints and conductor connections.
- Electrical distribution boards and control cabinet wiring.
- Cable harness assembly and wire organisation.
- Maintenance and repair of electrical wiring systems.
- OEM equipment manufacturing and electrical panel building.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex ECHS264YELLOW heat shrink tubing used for?
The Partex ECHS264YELLOW is used for electrical insulation, cable protection, wire identification and cable management in industrial electrical installations, control panels and wiring assemblies.
What does the 2:1 shrink ratio mean?
A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can reduce to approximately half its original diameter when heated without an obstruction. The ECHS264YELLOW has a nominal supplied diameter of 6.4 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 3.2 mm.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied in one pack?
The Partex ECHS264YELLOW is supplied in a 75 m pack, providing tubing that can be cut to the required lengths for individual electrical installation and maintenance tasks.
Why is this heat shrink tubing yellow?
The yellow colour provides clear visual identification for cables, conductors and wiring groups, helping engineers organise electrical installations and distinguish selected circuits or cable assemblies.
Where can the Partex ECHS264YELLOW tubing be installed?
This tubing is suitable for compatible wiring and cable components used in electrical control panels, industrial machinery, automation equipment, distribution boards and cable harness assemblies. It should be fitted over the component before applying controlled heat to shrink it into position.
