Why Choose the Partex ECHS295CLEAR 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS295CLEAR is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and wire identification in industrial, commercial and electrical engineering applications. Supplied in a clear finish, this heat shrink sleeving provides a practical solution for protecting electrical conductors, insulating connections and organising cable assemblies while allowing the underlying cable colours and identification markings to remain visible.
Featuring a nominal supplied internal diameter of 9.5 mm and a fully recovered internal diameter of 4.7 mm, the ECHS295CLEAR offers an approximately 2:1 shrink ratio. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around compatible cables, conductors and electrical components to form a close-fitting protective sleeve. Its transparent appearance makes it particularly useful where existing wire identification, printed labels or component markings need to remain visible after installation.
Supplied in a convenient 75 m pack, the Partex ECHS295CLEAR is well suited to electrical panel builders, wiring harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial production environments. The cut-to-length format supports both individual electrical repairs and repeated assembly operations, making it a practical choice for professional cable management and electrical insulation requirements.

Clear Heat Shrink Tubing for Visible Cable Identification
Clear heat shrink tubing is particularly useful in electrical installations where cables and connections require additional insulation without concealing their existing identification. The Partex ECHS295CLEAR 2:1 heat shrink tubing contracts when suitable heat is applied, allowing the sleeve to conform closely to appropriately sized cables and electrical components. Its transparent finish helps preserve the visibility of conductor colours, printed cable markers and identification labels beneath the tubing, while providing a protective covering.
The 9.5/4.7 mm diameter configuration makes this tubing suitable for a range of electrical cables, wiring harnesses, insulated connections and cable identification assemblies. It can also be used to cover compatible cable markers where a transparent protective sleeve is required. For effective installation, ensure the tubing fits over the cable or component before heating and has sufficient recovery to grip it securely. Apply heat evenly using a suitable controlled heat source and follow the manufacturer's installation guidance. The clear finish should not be assumed to provide a waterproof or adhesive seal.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and cable management.
- Protection of visible cable identification labels and markers.
- Wiring harness manufacturing and assembly.
- Electrical connections requiring transparent protective sleeving.
- Electrical connection and solder joint covering.
- Automation equipment and instrumentation wiring.
- Electrical maintenance, repairs and production assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex ECHS295CLEAR used for?
The Partex ECHS295CLEAR is 2:1 heat shrink tubing used to insulate and protect electrical wires, cable connections and wiring assemblies. Its clear finish also makes it useful for covering cable identification markings while keeping them visible.
What does the 2:1 shrink ratio mean?
A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can reduce to approximately half its original internal diameter when fully recovered. The ECHS295CLEAR has a nominal internal diameter of 9.5 mm before shrinking and 4.7 mm after full recovery.
What size cables is this heat shrink tubing suitable for?
The tubing has a nominal supplied internal diameter of 9.5 mm and a fully recovered internal diameter of 4.7 mm. It is suitable for appropriately sized cables and components that fit inside the tubing before heating and allow it to grip securely after shrinking. Select the correct size according to the cable's outside diameter and the required recovery.
Why choose clear heat shrink tubing instead of coloured tubing?
Clear heat shrink tubing is useful when the underlying cable colour, identification label or printed marking needs to remain visible after installation. The ECHS295CLEAR provides a protective sleeve without intentionally covering the visual identification beneath it.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied in one pack?
The Partex ECHS295CLEAR is supplied in a 75 m pack, providing a practical quantity for electrical panel building, wiring harness production, maintenance and other applications requiring repeated lengths of heat shrink tubing.
